/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES/
TORONTO, April 25, 2013 /CNW/ - Look Communications Inc. ("Look") (NEX: LOK.H) (NEX: LOK.K) is pleased to provide an update regarding its previously announced change of business transaction.
As previously announced on March 26, 2013, Look entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which Look has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Sunwave Gas & Power Inc. ("Sunwave"), a privately-held provider of innovative energy commodity products and services based in Toronto, for aggregate consideration of $1 million. It is anticipated that consideration for the transaction will be satisfied through the issuance of 3,382,974 multiple voting shares and 3,759,883 subordinate voting shares in the capital of Look, each valued at $0.14 per share (the "Acquisition"). Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, Look entered into subscription agreements (the "Subscription Agreements") with a group of sophisticated arm's length investors pursuant to which the investors will subscribe, on a private placement basis, for an aggregate of 30,446,767 multiple voting shares and 33,838,947 subordinate voting shares in the capital of Look at a price of $0.14 per share for aggregate subscription proceeds of $9,000,000 (the "Private Placement" and, together with the Acquisition, the "Transactions"). The multiple voting shares and subordinate voting shares intended to be issued pursuant to the Transactions will be issued in the same proportion as the number of multiple and subordinate voting shares currently outstanding.
As previously announced on April 10, 2013, Look has entered into an engagement letter with Brant Securities Limited ("Brant Securities") pursuant to which Brant Securities will, subject to completion of satisfactory due diligence, act as the Sponsor for the Transactions. An agreement to sponsor should not be construed as any assurance with respect to the merits of the transaction or the likelihood of completion.
The parties are currently working to complete the Transactions, including preparing an information circular to be delivered to shareholders in connection with the meeting to consider the Transaction, as well as pursuing the requisite approvals of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). Look intends to set a meeting date for the shareholders meeting to consider the Transactions once Look obtains conditional approval of the Transactions from the Exchange. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or the rules of the Exchange, Look does not intend to provide further updates regarding the Transactions.
In accordance with the policies of the Exchange, Look's multiple voting shares and subordinate voting shares were halted from trading upon announcement of the Transactions, and will remain halted until the completion of the Transactions or until the Transactions are abandoned.
All of the terms and conditions of the Transactions are set forth in the Purchase Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, copies of which will be available under Look's profile at www.sedar.com. Additional information regarding the Transactions and the businesses of Look and Sunwave, will be included in an information circular to be prepared by Look in accordance with the policies of the Exchange and applicable securities laws, a copy of which will also be available under Look's profile at www.sedar.com.
Look continues to vigorously pursue recovery of the approximately $20 million of sale awards paid in 2009 pursuant to the statement of claim issued by Look in July, 2011 and CBCA motion materials filed in August, 2011.
