The terms of the LOI require Kingsview to approve a change of name, a share consolidation of one new common share for each seven existing common shares, and for Kingsview to have a positive working capital position. Erco is required to provide audited "carve out" financial statements and prospectus-level disclosure required for the updated listing statement.
Concurrent with the completion of the definitive agreement and the 1 for 7 share consolidation, a US$1 million to US$2 million financing at US$0.20 per unit (the "Financing") on a post-consolidation basis. Under the terms of the Financing, each unit will consist of one common share and one common share purchase warrant.
The LOI anticipates there being between 74 million and 79 million proforma common shares issued and outstanding at the time of completing the transaction. The new Board of Directors and Management team of Kingsview will be determined at the time of the signing of the definitive agreement.
