/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES/
TORONTO, April 25, 2013 /CNW/ - Angoss Software Corporation ("Angoss") (TSX-V: ANC) is pleased to announce the completion of its previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") involving Angoss, Peterson Partners, Inc. ("Peterson Partners"), and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Peterson Partners ("Peterson Sub"), whereby, among other things, Peterson Sub has acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Angoss (the "Shares") not owned by Martin Galligan or his associates for $0.525 per Share in cash. The Arrangement was approved by special resolution of Angoss' shareholders and warrantholders at Angoss' annual and special meeting of shareholders held on April 16, 2013. The final court order approving the Arrangement was obtained on April 19, 2013.
The Shares are being halted from trading pending delisting from the TSX Venture Exchange, which is expected to occur on or about April 29, 2013. In addition, Angoss intends to make the required filings with the relevant Canadian securities regulatory authorities in order for Angoss to cease to be a reporting issuer in the Canadian provinces in which it is currently a reporting issuer.
Registered shareholders and warrantholders of Angoss who have not yet sent fully completed letters of transmittal, accompanied by original Share and/or warrant certificates, to the depositary, Computershare Investor Services Inc. ("Computershare"), are reminded that they should do so promptly in order to receive the cash consideration under the terms described in Angoss' management information circular dated March 18, 2013 (the "Circular"). The Circular and the letters of transmittal are available under Angoss' profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Holders of Class A Preferred Shares, Series 2 in the capital of Angoss ("Series 2 Shares") need not take any action to receive the cash consideration payable on the redemption of their Series 2 Shares, which will be paid by way of cheque(s) mailed by Computershare.
Non-registered holders of Shares whose Shares were registered in the name of a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee should contact that nominee for instructions and assistance in depositing such Shares and arranging for payment of the cash consideration.
