Inovent provides qualifying transaction update
VANCOUVER, Sept. 3, 2014 /CNW/ - David H. Brett, CEO, Inovent Capital Inc. (TSX Venture – IVQ.P, "Inovent") wishes to provide an update in respect of its proposed qualifying transaction with Canada Jetlines Ltd. ("Jetlines") as announced on July 2, 2014. Inovent is pleased to announce that Jetlines has completed its previously announced bridge financing, raising gross proceeds of $896,194.
Inovent and Jetlines have previously entered into a letter of intent ("LOI") pursuant to which the parties have agreed to negotiate the terms of a business combination transaction (the "Proposed Transaction"). Inovent is a TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") capital pool company. Jetlines is a start-up airline aiming to become Canada's first ultra-low cost carrier.
In addition, Inovent wishes to provide the following further updates in respect of the Proposed Transaction:
- The exclusivity period and the periods for completing definitive transaction documents and due diligence have been extended from August 29, 2014 to September 12, 2014;
- Inovent, having received TSXV acceptance, has advanced to Jetlines a secured refundable deposit of $120,000;
- Jetlines has engaged Euro Pacific Canada as its exclusive advisor for the Proposed Transaction;
- Mr. William Lee has resigned as a director of Jetlines; and
- The TSXV has agreed to waive its sponsorship requirement in respect of the Proposed Transaction.
Completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, TSXV acceptance and if applicable pursuant to TSXV requirements, majority of the minority shareholder approval. Where applicable, the Proposed Transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.
Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the management information circular or filing statement to be prepared in connection with the Proposed Transaction, any information released or received with respect to the Proposed Transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in the securities of a capital pool company should be considered highly speculative.
The TSX Venture Exchange Inc. has in no way passed upon the merits of the proposed transaction and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press release.
