Calgary, Alberta (FSCwire) - Sparta Capital Ltd. (TSXV: SAY.H) (the
“Corporation” or “Sparta”) is pleased to announce that further to its news release dated
February 9, 2016, it has entered into a pre-acquisition agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which it will
make an offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of SuperNova Performance Technologies Ltd.
(“SuperNova”), a privately held company based in Toronto, Ontario (the “Acquisition”).
Under the terms of the Agreement, Sparta will make an offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding common shares of
SuperNova on a one-for-one basis by way of exempt takeover bid (the “Exempt Takeover Bid”). The Exempt
Takeover Bid may result in the issuance of up to 9,849,750 Sparta common shares at a deemed value of $0.05 per common share.
It is a condition of the Agreement that SuperNova becomes a wholly owned or majority owned subsidiary of Sparta. Currently,
SuperNova has 6,721,000 warrants outstanding each with an average exercise price of $0.25, that were extended at various times in
2014 for two years expiring at various times in 2016 with an automatic one year extension clause (the “SuperNova
Warrants”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, each outstanding SuperNova Warrant shall be replaceable with a
Sparta warrant on terms substantially identical to the present SuperNova Warrants, but will expire no later than 12 months from
the date of closing of the Acquisition. Additionally, SuperNova has outstanding secured long-term debt in the amount
of $1,027,526 as at December 31, 2015 (the “SuperNova Debt”). Upon completing the Acquisition, the
SuperNova Debt will be restructured to capitalize interest to December 31, 2016 and thereafter interest bearing, at a rate of 3%
per annum.
The Acquisition, and the other transactions contemplated in connection therewith, requires the approval of the
approval of the NEX, a separate board of the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. (the “Exchange”).
The Acquisition will be carried out by parties dealing at arm’s length to one another and therefore will not be
considered to be a “Related Party Transaction” as such term is defined under the policies of the Exchange.
