NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH US NEWSWIRE SERVICES
Enterprise Group, Inc. (TSX:E) ("Enterprise" or the "Company") announces that,
further to the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") in connection
with the Company's proposed brokered private placement announced on April 25,
2013 (the "Offering"), the Company will be seeking written consent from a
majority of its shareholders to the terms of the Offering prior to closing.
A syndicate of agents led by M Partners Inc. and including, Lightwater Partners
Ltd. and Beacon Securities Limited (together the "Agents") will act as agents in
respect of the Offering of up to 12,500,000 common shares of the Company (the
"Common Shares"), subject to a 15% over-allotment option (up to an additional
1,875,000 Common Shares), for gross proceeds of up to $6,000,000 or up to
$6,900,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full. Each Common Share
will be issued at a price of $0.48. All securities issued in connection with the
Offering will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from
closing.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for capital expenditures related
to Artic Therm International Ltd., acquisition and integration costs associated
with the transaction announced February 28, 2013 in the event of completion of
that transaction, and for general working capital purposes.
The closing of the Offering is subject to receipt by the Company of all
requisite regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX.
On closing, the Agents will receive a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross
proceeds of the Offering. In addition, the Company will issue to the Agents, on
closing, such number of warrants (the "Broker Warrants") as is equal to 6% of
the number of Common Shares sold pursuant to the Offering. Each Broker Warrant
will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share ("Broker Share") at
a price of $0.49 per share at any time prior to the date that is 12 months from
closing.
The TSX requires shareholder approval for the Offering as the number of Common
Shares and Broker Shares issuable pursuant to the Offering when aggregated with
those Common Shares issuable pursuant to a proposed offering of convertible
debentures by the Company as previously announced on March 26, 2013, is greater
than 25% of the number of Common Shares which will be outstanding, on a
non-diluted basis, prior to the date of closing of the Offering. The number of
Common Shares and Broker Shares (assuming the exercise, in full, of the
over-allotment option and the Broker Warrants) issuable pursuant to the Offering
represents up to 23% of the present number of listed Common Shares, which, when
added to the number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to the proposed offering
of convertible debentures of the Company, in the event of conversion of such
debentures at a price of $0.50 per Common Share during the proposed two year
term thereof, represents up to 42% of the present number of listed Common Shares
on a non-diluted basis.
The Offering will not materially affect control of the Company and no new
persons or entities will become holders of 10% of the outstanding Common Shares
as a result of the Offering. No insiders of the Company will participate in the
Offering.
