CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Jan. 26, 2017) - Slyce Inc.
(TSX VENTURE:SLC) ("Slyce" or the "Company") announces implementation of several steps as it
transitions and streamlines for a new strategy following the sale on January 10, 2017 of the majority of its business assets (the
"Transaction"). These transition steps include:
- Change of name and consolidation of shares
- Appointment of officers and change in board composition
- Appointment of auditor
- Repayment of bridge loan
- Redemption of convertible debentures
Name Change and Consolidation of Shares
Further to the approval received from shareholders of the Company at the a special general meeting held on December 21, 2017
(the "Meeting") and as described in more detail in the Management Information Circular of the Company dated
November 26, 2016, the Company will change its name from Slyce Inc. to Pounce Technologies Inc. and has authorized a
consolidation of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") on the basis of one (1)
post-consolidation Common Share for every twenty (20) pre-consolidation Common Shares (the "Consolidation"). As a result of the
Consolidation, 188,018,046 Common Shares currently issued and outstanding will be reduced to approximately 9,400,902
post-consolidation Common Shares. No fractional shares will be issued in the Consolidation. Each fractional share following the
Consolidation that is less than one-half of a share will be cancelled and each fractional share that is at least one-half of a
share will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The exercise or conversion price and the number of shares issuable under any
of the Company's outstanding stock options and convertible instruments will be proportionately adjusted upon completion of the
Consolidation. A letter of transmittal will be sent to registered shareholders providing instructions to surrender the
certificates evidencing their Common Shares for replacement certificates representing the number of post-consolidation Common
Shares to which they are entitled as a result of the Consolidation. Until surrendered, each certificate representing Common
Shares prior to the Consolidation will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of Common Shares to which the holder
thereof is entitled as a result of the Consolidation. The Consolidation is subject to the approval of the TSXV.
The effective date for the Consolidation and Name change is anticipated to be January 27, 2017. Prior to the effective date,
the Company's shares will continue to trade on the TSXV under the current trading symbol and on the anticipated effective date
the Company's shares will begin trading on the TSXV under the trading symbol "POI".
The Company will provide further details on confirmation of the effective date.
