Trading Expected to Commence on July 22, 2013 on the TSX Venture Exchange

REGINA, July 18, 2013 /CNW/ - Input Capital Corp. ("Input") (TSX Venture Exchange: INP), the world's first agricultural commodity streaming company, announces today that it has completed its going public transaction by way of a reverse takeover of WB II Acquisition Corp. ("WB II"), a capital pool company pursuant to the TSX Venture Exchange Corporate Finance Manual Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies.  The reverse takeover proceeded by way of a "three-cornered" amalgamation (the "Amalgamation") among Input, WB II and 101235315 Saskatchewan Ltd. Immediately prior to the Amalgamation, WB II changed its name to "Input Capital Corp." (the "New Input") and completed a consolidation of its share capital on a basis of one post-consolidation WB II common share for every 16 WB II common shares existing immediately before the consolidation (the "Consolidation").  As a result of the reverse takeover, Input shareholders hold approximately 97.8% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the New Input and WB II shareholders hold approximately 2.2% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the New Input.  Subject to applicable regulatory approvals, the New Input will be continued under The Business Corporations Act (Saskatchewan).

The Amalgamation completes the previously announced qualifying transaction of WB II in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Qualifying Transaction").

On July 18, 2013, the TSX Venture Exchange provided final approval of the listing of additional common shares of the New Input pursuant to the Qualifying Transaction. Additional details regarding the Qualifying Transaction can be found in the filing statement of WB II dated July 5, 2013, (the "Filing Statement") filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The New Input's common shares are expected to begin trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on July 22, 2013 under the symbol "INP".

"The growth of our assets and the acceptance of Input by western Canadian farmers since the Input's inception demonstrates that our unique business model is a welcome form of alternative financing to the agricultural sector," Doug Emsley, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Input Capital Corp. said.  "Input's public listing is a critical milestone in fulfilling our commitment to consolidating and building the Input's leadership position in the agriculture commodity streaming business," he added.

"A number of private investors have been supporting our growth and expansion since Input was founded in 2011.  With access to the public markets, we now have a more diversified financial platform on which to build the next stage of our growth," Emsley noted.

Input is the world's only agricultural commodity streaming company. Its primary focus is on serving the domestic market for canola production.  Input's strategy for continued growth is to capture greater market share by entering into canola streaming contracts with producers across Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Input's experienced management team, proprietary protections, deep in-house agricultural expertise and ability to quickly execute canola streaming contracts give it a strong competitive edge in the markets it serves.

Summary of Going Public Transaction

The reverse takeover completes WB II's previously announced Qualifying Transaction of WB II in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The amalgamated entity ("Amalco") was named "Input Capital Corp.". Pursuant to the amalgamation agreement (the "Amalgamation Agreement"), each outstanding Input common share was exchanged for one common share of WB II (on a post-Consolidation basis).  In consideration, WB II received one common share of Amalco for every WB II common share issued to Input shareholders. As a result, Amalco is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the New Input.  Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, an aggregate of 34,796,023 New Input common shares at a deemed price of $1.52 (on a post-Consolidation basis) were issued to Input shareholders and an aggregate of 3,129,602 options were issued to holders of Input options. An additional 350,000 options were issued to certain incoming directors and consultants of the New Input. Such options have an exercise price of $1.28 per New Input common share and an expiry date of November 30, 2017.

On July 16, 2013, the Ontario Ministry of Government Services issued a Certificate and Articles of Amendment of WB II giving effect to the previously announced change of WB II's name to "Input Capital Corp." and to the consolidation of WB II's share capital on a basis of one post-consolidation WB II common share for every 16 WB II common shares existing immediately before the Consolidation.  The Consolidation equalized the value of the WB II common shares with that of the Input common shares. On July 17, 2013, the Information Services Corporation of Saskatchewan issued a Certificate of Amalgamation giving effect to the Amalgamation.

An aggregate of 14,021,177 securities of the New Input held by certain of the Principals (as such term is defined by TSX Venture Exchange Corporate Finance Manual Policy 1.1 - Interpretation) of the New Input, as well as former Principals of WB II, will be subject to the escrow requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange.  The TSX Venture Exchange granted to each of David Laidley, David Brown, Dr. Lorne Hepworth and Patricia Warsaba, each Principals of the New Input, an exemption from the escrow requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange on the basis that each such Principal will hold less than 1% of the shares of the New Input on a fully diluted basis.
