VM HOTEL ACQUISITION CORP. PROVIDES UPDATE ON QUALIFYING ACQUISITION
/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/
TORONTO, April 6, 2023 /CNW/ - VM Hotel Acquisition Corp. (TSX: VMH.U) (TSX: VMH.WT.U) (the "Corporation" or "VMH") provided an update on the status of its proposed qualifying acquisition with The Pyure Company Inc. ("Pyure"). The outside date (the "Outside Date") for the completion of the proposed business combination with Pyure (the "Business Combination") has passed and the parties continue to diligently work on completing the required private placement and pursuing the closing of the Business Combination.
In connection with the expiry of the Outside Date, VMH and Pyure have entered into an amending agreement (the "Amendment") to amend the previously announced business combination agreement with Pyure ("Business Combination Agreement") to allow the parties to appropriately renegotiate its terms. Unless revised terms are successfully negotiated, the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated by either party at their discretion. There are no assurances that the Corporation will successfully negotiate appropriate amendments to the Business Combination Agreement or that the transactions under the Business Combination will be completed.
The Business Combination Agreement was amended to, among other things, allow Pyure to seek alternative financing arrangements with third parties that are not listed on a recognized stock exchange. In addition, the Amendment also provides that the parties will continue good faith negotiations to come to mutually agreeable amendments to the financial terms of the Business Combination Agreement in order to reduce the aggregate consideration payable to Pyure's shareholders under the agreement.
The Corporation will provide a further update on its qualifying acquisition when appropriate to do so.
