MARKHAM, ON, Jan. 2, 2014 /CNW/ - Brian Schachter, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Nightingale Informatix Corporation (TSX-V: NGH) ("Nightingale" or the "Corporation") announced today that he has acquired 10,000,000 common shares of the Corporation (the "Common Shares") following the conversion of an unsecured convertible note in the principal amount of $2,500,000 (the "Note"). The issuance of the Note was first announced by the Corporation on November 21, 2013 and was completed on November 27, 2013. The Common Shares issued pursuant to the conversion of the Note were priced at $0.25 per Common Share.
As the conversion of the Note would result in Mr. Schachter becoming a "control person", as that term is defined under the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), the TSXV required that shareholders of Nightingale approve the issuance of Common Shares in accordance with Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. A special meeting was held on December 31, 2013 at which shareholder approval of the issuance was obtained. Votes attached to all Common Shares held by Mr. Schachter, as well as his affiliates and associates, were excluded from participating at the special meeting. The Corporation announced the results of the special meeting in a press release dated December 31, 2013.
Mr. Schachter converted the Note immediately after the special meeting and 10,000,000 Common Shares were issued to him. As result, Mr. Schachter's holdings of Common Shares increased from 15,069,447, or approximately 19.8% of all issued and outstanding Common Shares prior to the issuance of the Note, to 28,069,447, or approximately 29.6%. Prior to the special meeting, Mr. Schachter acquired an additional 3,000,000 Common Shares through the conversion of previously purchased debentures.
The issuance of Common Shares to Mr. Schacter pursuant to the conversion of the Note remains subject to final approval of the TSXV.
