Clarocity Corporation Completes Acquisition of Previously Announced Intellectual Property Assets
CALGARY, May 11, 2017 /CNW/ - Clarocity Corporation (TSXV:CLY) (the "Company" or "Clarocity") is pleased to announce that subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange, it has completed the previously announced acquisition of intellectual property assets owned by Ernie Durbin and Steve Ferguson (the "Vendors") for an aggregate price of USD $1,600,000 ("Purchase Price").
"We are excited to begin integrating these tools into our existing platform and products, which will ultimately provide a more concise and accurate valuation data point that creates a significant number of opportunities going forward," said Shane Copeland, CEO of Clarocity. "In the short term, this new tool allows us to provide unmatched accuracy in our appraisals with absolute transparency to our clients, giving us an edge over competitors and solidifying our place in the market place as an industry innovator and leader."
The Purchase Price was satisfied by: (a) issuing non-interest bearing promissory notes to the Vendors in the aggregate amount of USD $100,000, repayable by Clarocity on or before March 31, 2018; and (b) payment of approximately USD $1,500,000 by issuing to the Vendors an aggregate of 11,520,000 common shares in the capital of Clarocity ("Shares"), at a deemed price per Share of CAD $0.175; of which 7,680,000 of Shares remain subject to contractual escrow restrictions.
Mr. Ferguson is an arm's length party to the Company. However, as Mr. Durbin is an officer of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the acquisition constitutes a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on a determination that the securities of Clarocity are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and that neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the acquired assets, insofar as it involves interested parties, exceeds 25% of the market capitalization of the Company.
