The assets located in Greater Montreal provide StorageVault with three more stores in the Greater Montreal area, bringing the total to six in Canada's second largest city. The Acquisition is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange and, as Access is a non-arm's length party to StorageVault, the Acquisition is considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") and TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") Policy 5.9. Assuming all conditions in the purchase agreement are met or waived, it is anticipated that the closing of the Acquisition will occur on or before December 29, 2016.
