Vancouver, British Columbia – Hypercharge Networks Corp. (the “Company” or “Hypercharge”) is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated April 25, 2022, it has completed the acquisition of CoSource Information Technology Services Inc. (“CoSource”), a full-service digital agency specializing in digital strategy, marketing, and software product development (the “Acquisition”).
Pursuant to a share exchange agreement dated April 22, 2022 (the “Agreement”), the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of CoSource in exchange for: (i) 3,800,000 common shares of the Company (the “Consideration Shares”) and (ii) 1,500,000 performance warrants (the “Performance Warrants”), where each Performance Warrant will be exercisable into one common share of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) at a price of $0.02 per share upon the Company’s achievement of certain revenue-based milestones.
The Consideration Shares will be subject to voluntary resale restrictions, where 10% of the Consideration Shares will be released on the date the Common Shares are listed on a Canadian securities exchange, with the balance of the Consideration Shares being released in six (6) equal 15% installments every six (6) months thereafter.
Related Party Transactions
As part of the Acquisition, the Company has issued 2,090,000 Consideration Shares and 1,500,000 Performance Warrants to the Company’s director and CEO, David Bibby, who is a shareholder of CoSource and a vendor in the Acquisition. The Acquisition therefore constitutes a “related party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-10 – 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, specifically: (i) the valuation requirement of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in Section 5.5(b), as the Common Shares are not listed on a market specified in MI 61-101, and (ii) the minority shareholder approval requirement of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in Section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61- 101, as the fair market value of the Common Shares issued to insiders in connection with the Acquisition does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).
