PARKER, CO, May 26, 2017 /CNW/ - Assure Holdings Corp. (formerly Montreux Capital Corp., the "Corporation") (TSXV: MRX.H), a "capital pool company" pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), trading on the NEX board of the TSXV, is pleased to announce that further to a news release dated May 16, 2017, it has closed its Qualifying Transaction (as such term is defined in the policies of the TSXV) with Assure Holdings, Inc. (Colorado) ("Assure") and pursuant to the terms of the TSXV's final bulletin, the Corporation's common shares (the "Resulting Issuer Shares") are expected to commence trading on May 29, 2017 under the symbol "IOM". The Corporation will be listed as a Tier 2 Life Science Issuer on the TSXV.
Preston Parsons, the new Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and the founder of Assure said of the announcement, "We are extremely excited to complete the qualifying transaction and begin trading. Since we began this process of going public, our company has matured substantially. We continue to execute upon our business model and are extremely pleased with our historical accomplishments. We are very encouraged about the future of Assure and look forward to sharing additional information with the market in the coming weeks."
The Qualifying Transaction was carried out pursuant to the terms of a share exchange agreement (the "Agreement") dated May 16, 2017 among Assure, the shareholders of Assure and the Corporation. Pursuant to the Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation changed its name to "Assure Holdings Corp", continued into the State of Nevada and consolidated its common shares on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation common shares for every three (3) pre-consolidation common shares. Immediately thereafter, (i) all of the issued and outstanding shares of Assure (the "Assure Shares") were transferred to the Corporation in exchange for Resulting Issuer Shares on the basis of one (1) Resulting Issuer Share for each Assure Share; and (ii) all of the issued and outstanding options and Broker Warrants (as hereinafter defined) of Assure were transferred to the Corporation in exchange for options and broker warrants of the Corporation on the same terms and conditions.
As previously announced on March 2, 2017, Assure completed a brokered financing (the "Brokered Financing") led by Leede Jones Gable Inc. (the "Agent") by issuing 6,392,060 subscription receipts (each a "Subscription Receipt" and together, the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of C$0.50 per Subscription Receipt (the "Issue Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of C$3,196,030 (the "Escrowed Funds"). As part of the Brokered Financing, Assure agreed to pay to the Agent a cash commission (the "Initial Commission") equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds raised by the Agent arising from the Brokered Financing, being an aggregate total of C$229,800. In addition, as part of the Brokered Financing, Assure issued 459,600 broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants") to the Agent and its respective selling group, representing that amount of Broker Warrants equal to 8% of the aggregate number of Subscription Receipts sold in the Brokered Financing. Each Broker Warrant is exercisable at the Issue Price and for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance thereof. As a result of the closing of the Qualifying Transaction, the Escrowed Funds less the Initial Commission and customary transactional expenses were released to the Corporation and each of the holders of the Subscription Receipts received equivalent number of Resulting Issuer Shares. As of the date hereof there are approximately 34,928,393 Resulting Issuer Shares issued and outstanding and 44,587,993 Resulting Issuer Shares on a fully-diluted basis.
