Precision Enterprises Inc. and Allante Resources Inc. Announce Business Combination

19.11.2013  |  Marketwire
VANCOUVER and HALIFAX, Nov. 19, 2013 - Precision Enterprises Inc. (TSX VENTURE:PSC.H) ("Precision" or the "Company") and Allante Resources Inc. ("Allante") are pleased to announce that they have entered into a binding share exchange agreement (the "Agreement") dated November 18, 2013 (as signed by the two companies and Allante's principal shareholders), whereby Precision will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Allante (the "Allante Shares") in exchange for the issuance of Post-Consolidation Shares (as defined below) of Precision to the shareholders of Allante. The acquisition of Allante (the "Acquisition") will constitute Precision's Qualifying Transaction as such term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").

Precision is a "capital pool company" as defined in the Policies of the Exchange. Since the Acquisition is an arm's-length transaction, Precision is not required to obtain shareholder approval. Trading in the common shares of the Company is halted at present. It is unlikely that the Company's common shares will resume trading until the Acquisition is completed, which is subject to Exchange acceptance among other things.


Terms of the Acquisition

The Company will complete a 3:1 consolidation of its shares (each new share referred to herein as a "Post-Consolidation Share") and will change its name to Allante Resources Ltd. in connection with the Acquisition.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, Precision will acquire the Allante Shares from the Allante shareholders on a 1:1 basis, which would result in the issuance of an aggregate of 15,375,000 Post-Consolidation Shares based on the current number of outstanding Allante Shares. Allante currently has no other securities outstanding.

The Acquisition is an arm's-length transaction as none of the insiders of Precision are insiders of Allante or own, directly or indirectly, any of the Allante Shares, and vice versa.

At the closing of the Acquisition, Allante will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Precision and the shareholders of Allante will become shareholders of Precision. The business of the resulting company will be Allante's business of mineral exploration in the West African country of Gabon. Allante holds, through subsidiaries, two exploration permits covering an aggregate of 464 km2 in Gabon. Based on the financial statements of Allante, which are currently unaudited, over $1.0 million of expenditures have been incurred in exploring and acquiring mineral properties since the company was established in 2010.

The Agreement provides that, as a condition to closing the Acquisition, Precision will carry out a brokered private placement of units to raise gross proceeds of not less than $750,000 and not more than $1,500,000 at a purchase price of not less than $0.25 per unit. Each unit will consist of one Post-Consolidation Share and half of one share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant being exercisable to acquire one Post-Consolidation Share for one year from the closing of the private placement at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The private placement will be subject to a financing fee which is expected to be comprised of a cash fee equal to six percent (6%) of the proceeds raised.

At the closing of the Acquisition, based on Precision's current outstanding shares and assuming completion of the maximum private placement and the payment of the finder's fee noted below, Precision is expected to have approximately 26.3 million issued and outstanding shares, approximately 58% of which will be held by the former Allante shareholders.

The Post-Consolidation Shares to be issued to the Allante shareholders under the Acquisition will be subject to any restrictions on resale, including escrow restrictions, imposed by applicable laws and the Exchange.

On the completion of the transaction, the board of directors of Precision will be composed of four directors, who are expected to be James Megann, Joe DeVries, Howard Bird and the Honourable Senator Donald H. Oliver, Q.C.

On completion of the transaction, James Megann will be the Chief Executive Officer of Precision and Rob Randall will be the Chief Financial Officer of Precision.
