TORONTO, April 30, 2015 /CNW/ - GreenSpace Brands Inc. ("GreenSpace" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that, further to its press releases dated April 13, 2015, March 18, 2015 and November 28, 2014, it has completed its previously announced qualifying transaction (the "Qualifying Transaction") consisting of the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Life Choices Natural Food Corp. ("Life Choices") by way of three-cornered amalgamation pursuant to which a wholly owned subsidiary of GreenSpace amalgamated with Life Choices and each Life Choices shareholder received one common share in the capital of GreenSpace (a "Common Share") for every Life Choices common share ("Life Choices Share") held by them.  Final acceptance of the Qualifying Transaction will occur upon the issuance of a Final Exchange Bulletin by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").

Prior to the closing of the Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation filed articles of amendment to: (1) consolidate its outstanding share capital (the "Consolidation") on the basis of one post-Consolidation Common Share for every two pre-Consolidation Common Shares; and (2) change its name to "GreenSpace Brands Inc.".

Subject to final approval of the Exchange the Corporation's post-Consolidation Common Shares are expected to begin trading on the Exchange at the opening of the markets on Monday, May 4, 2015 under the symbol "JTR" (Join The Revolution).

Immediately prior to the closing of the Qualifying Transaction Life Choices completed a private placement (the "Private Placement")  of 3,897,059 Life Choices Shares at a price of $1.36 per Life Choices Share for gross proceeds of $5.3 million.  Canaccord Genuity Corp. ("Canaccord Genuity") received a cash commission equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the Private Placement, excluding president's list subscriptions totaling $399,976, on which a cash commission of 3.5% was paid.  Canaccord Genuity also received options granted by Life Choices to purchase Life Choices Shares (the "Agent's Options") equal to 7.0% of the number of Life Choices Shares issued in respect of the Private Placement, excluding 294,100 Life Choices Shares issued to President's List subscribers, for which Agent's Options equal to 3.5% were issued.  Each Agent's Option is exercisable at a price of $1.36 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.  In conjunction with the closing of the Qualifying Transaction, all Agent's Options and Life Choices Shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement were exchanged for securities exercisable for Common Shares on the same terms and conditions, the Corporation's year end will become the year end of Life Choices, March 31, and the Corporation's auditors will be MNP LLP.

Following completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation has 19,407,594 Common Shares issued and outstanding.  Assuming the conversion of all outstanding options, warrants and stock options, 19,801,274 Common Shares are outstanding on a fully diluted basis.

A total of 14 non-principal former shareholders of Life Choices who, upon closing of the Qualifying Transaction, now hold an aggregate of 3,061,449 Common Shares are subject to Exchange seed share resale restrictions that permit 20% of such shares to be released pursuant to either: (i) a four month hold with 20% released each month with the first release on closing of the Qualifying Transaction; or (ii) a one year hold with 20% released every 3 months with the first release on closing of the Qualifying Transaction.
