Omni Announces Definitive Transaction Agreement With Dreamfields Brands, Inc.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 18, 2019 / Omni Commerce Corp. (TSXV: OMNI, FRA: 0MZA) ("Omni" or the "Company") announces that, further to its news release dated August 13, 2019, it has entered into a definitive transaction agreement dated September 13, 2019 (the "Definitive Agreement") with Dreamfields Brands, Inc. ("Dreamfields"), a California-based vertically-integrated cannabis manufacturing, distribution, branding, sales and events company. The Definitive Agreement provides that, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including applicable regulatory and stock exchange approvals, at the Effective Time (as defined below) and concurrently with the Merger (as defined below), the securityholders of Dreamfields will exchange their Dreamfields Shares (as defined below) for Proportionate Voting Shares (as defined below) or Subordinate Voting Shares (as defined below), as applicable, resulting in the reverse takeover of the Company by Dreamfields (the "Reverse Takeover"), pursuant to which the business of Dreamfields will become the business of the Company (the "Change of Business"). The Reverse Takeover will represent the Company's entry into the cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabis sectors. In connection with the Reverse Takeover, the Company is expected to change its name to "Dreamfields Brands, Inc.", or such other name as determined by Dreamfields and that is acceptable to the regulatory authorities (the "Name Change"), and make application to the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") for the listing thereon of the Subordinate Voting Shares (the "Relisting").

The Reverse Takeover

Pursuant to the terms of the Definitive Agreement, at the time of the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of California of an agreement of merger between a wholly-owned California subsidiary of the Company ("Omni Subco") and Dreamfields (the "Effective Time"), Omni Subco will merge with and into Dreamfields (the "Merger"), with Dreamfields continuing as the surviving corporation governed by the Laws of the State of California as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the Merger, each share in the common stock of Dreamfields (each, a "Dreamfields Share"), other than those Dreamfields Shares held by a shareholder who demands and perfects dissenters' rights for such Dreamfields Shares, will be converted into and become a right to receive 0.1516 of a Proportionate Voting Share, provided that all Canadian and any other non-U.S. securityholders of Dreamfields will exchange each of their Dreamfields Shares for one (1) Subordinate Voting Share.

The closing of the Reverse Takeover (the "Closing") is anticipated to occur in Q4 of 2019, and will be subject to the satisfaction of various conditions precedent prior to the Effective Time, including: (i) the Company effecting the Consolidation (as defined below); (ii) the Company completing the Share Structure Amendment (as defined below); (iii) the Company effecting the Name Change; (iv) Dreamfields completing the DF Holdings Acquisition (as defined below); (v) Dreamfields delivering to the Company financial statements for each of Dreamfields and DF Holdings Group LLC ("DF Holdings"); (vi) the reconstitution of management and the board of directors of the Company (the "Omni Board"); and (vii) the Company and Dreamfields obtaining all necessary consents, approvals and other authorizations of any regulatory authorities, shareholders or third parties required for the transactions contemplated by the Definitive Agreement, including, but not limited to, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and the majority of the Company's minority shareholders for the delisting (the "Delisting") of its common shares (each, a "Common Share"), the CSE for the Relisting, and the approval of the Company's shareholders, the Omni Board and the necessary corporate approvals of Dreamfields, as applicable, for various matters relating to the Reverse Takeover and Change of Business.

Subject to applicable regulatory and stock exchange approvals, finder's fees will be payable upon Closing to Star Jasmine LLC, an arm's length finder, in the amount of 1,000,000 post-Consolidation Common Shares, as exchanged for Subordinate Voting Shares (the "Finder's Shares"). The Finder's Shares will be subject to the applicable statutory hold period in Canada and such additional restrictions on transfer as determined by Omni and Dreamfields.

Consolidation

Prior to the Effective Time, Omni will complete a consolidation of its Common Shares on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Common Share for each five (5) pre-consolidation Common Shares (the "Consolidation"). As there are presently 40,443,657 Common Shares outstanding, there are expected to be approximately 8,119,640 Common Shares outstanding following the completion of the Consolidation, but prior to giving effect to the completion of the Reverse Takeover and the Share Structure Amendment.

Name Change and Share Structure Amendment

In connection with the Reverse Takeover, the Company will also effect the Name Change and amend its articles and notice of articles (the "Share Structure Amendment") to: (i) amend the terms of the existing Common Shares such that they will be reclassified as Class A Subordinate Voting Shares (each, a "Subordinate Voting Share"), each of which Subordinate Voting Shares will entitle the holder to one (1) vote; and (ii) create a new class of shares consisting of an unlimited number of Class B Proportionate Voting Shares (each, a "Proportionate Voting Share"), each of which Proportionate Voting Shares will entitle the holder to 6.5952 votes and be convertible into 6.5952 Subordinate Voting Shares, all in accordance with the terms of the Definitive Agreement. Following Closing, it is estimated that an aggregate of 24,588,731 Subordinate Voting Shares and 10,538,028 Proportionate Voting Shares will be issued and outstanding.

The Company expects to mail a notice of meeting and management information circular to registered shareholders in October 2019 for an annual general and special meeting of shareholders to be held in November 2019 (the "Omni AGSM") to approve, among other matters, the Share Structure Amendment, along with any other necessary matters in connection with the Reverse Takeover. A subsequent news release will be issued once the details of the Omni AGSM, including record and meeting dates, are confirmed.

DF Holdings Acquisition

Prior to the Effective Time, Dreamfields will have completed the acquisition of all of the securities of DF Holdings (the "DF Holdings Acquisition"), whereby:

1. 12,000,000 Dreamfields Shares will be issued in consideration of the acquisition of all of the outstanding securities of DF Holdings; and
2. if prior to Closing, Dreamfields generates USD$350,000 in sales of Jeeter-branded products in any fiscal month, then an additional 3,000,000 Dreamfields Shares will be issued to the former DF Holdings securityholders.

None of the securities issued in connection with the Reverse Takeover and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, the Consolidation, the Share Structure Amendment and the DF Holdings Acquisition, will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and none of them may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor will there be any sale of the securities in any state where such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
