FAX Capital Corp. (TSX: FXC) (the “
Company”) today
announced that as at May 31, 2022, the Company’s unaudited book
value per share was approximately $4.87 per subordinate voting
share and multiple voting share, an approximate 3.9% decrease from
March 31, 2022, driven primarily by unrealized losses on its
portfolio of investments.
The Company is providing this interim update on
book value per share so that the holders of subordinate voting
shares and multiple voting shares (together, the
“Shareholders”) have the most recent month-end
figure available prior to the Company’s upcoming annual general and
special meeting (the “Meeting”) of Shareholders to
be held virtually on June 24, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) at
http://meetnow.global/M9AW7A2.
The deadline for completed proxies to be
received by the Company’s transfer agent is Wednesday, June 22,
2022 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time). Meeting materials, including the
Company’s management information circular and form of proxy, are
available on the Company’s website at
www.faxcapitalcorp.com/annual-meetings and under the Company’s
profile at www.sedar.com. Shareholders are encouraged to review
these documents in detail for further information in respect of the
matters to be considered at the Meeting.
At the Meeting, Shareholders of record as of the
close of business on May 20, 2022 will be asked to consider, among
other things, the proposed acquisition, indirectly through an
acquisition company, by Fax Investments Inc. (“Fax
Investments”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Federated
Capital Corp., of all of the Company’s issued and outstanding
subordinate voting shares not already owned by Fax Investments or
Blair Driscoll, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (together,
the “Continuing Shareholders”), by way of a
statutory plan of arrangement under the Canada Business
Corporations Act (the “Arrangement”).
Pursuant to the Arrangement, each holder of
subordinate voting shares (other than the Continuing Shareholders)
will receive $5.18 in cash per subordinate voting share. The
Company has received conditional approval for the Arrangement from
the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”). Subject to
obtaining Shareholder approval at the Meeting and the approval of
the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the
“Court”), the Arrangement is expected to close
early in the third quarter of 2022.
The Company’s board of directors,
excluding interested directors, unanimously recommends that
Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of the Arrangement.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Use of
Non-IFRS Accounting Measures
This press release makes reference to the
following financial measure which is not recognized under
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and which does
not have a standard meaning prescribed by IFRS: “book value per
share”. The Company’s book value per share is a measure of the
performance of the Company as a whole. Book value per share is
measured by dividing shareholders’ equity of the Company by the
number of subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares
outstanding as at the date specified. The Company’s method of
determining this financial measure may differ from other companies’
methods and, accordingly, this amount may not be comparable to
measures used by other companies. This financial measure is not a
performance measure as defined under IFRS and should not be
considered either in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net
earnings prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Information
This press release contains forward-looking
information. Such forward-looking information or statements
(“FLS”) are provided for the purpose of providing
information about management's current expectations and plans
relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such
information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Any such FLS
may be identified by words such as “proposed”, “expects”,
“intends”, “may”, “will”, and similar expressions. FLS contained or
referred to in this press release include, but are not limited to,
statements regarding the proposed timing and various steps
contemplated in respect of the Arrangement, the holding of the
Meeting, and the anticipated timing for closing of the Arrangement.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in
such FLS are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on FLS
because the Company can give no assurance that such expectations
will prove to be correct.
FLS are based on a number of factors and
assumptions which have been used to develop such statements and
information, but which may prove to be incorrect, including:
assumptions as to the ability of the parties to receive, in a
timely manner and on satisfactory terms, the necessary Shareholder
and Court approvals; the ability of the parties to satisfy, in a
timely manner, the other conditions to the completion of the
proposed Arrangement; and other expectations and assumptions
concerning the proposed Arrangement. The anticipated dates
indicated may change for a number of reasons, including the
inability to receive, in a timely manner, the necessary Shareholder
approvals and Court approvals or the necessity to extend the time
limits for satisfying the other conditions to the completion of the
proposed Arrangement. Accordingly, investors and others are
cautioned that undue reliance should not be placed on any
forward-looking statements.
Risks and uncertainties inherent in the nature
of the proposed Arrangement that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those described in such FLS include, but are
not limited to, the failure of the parties to obtain the necessary
Shareholder and Court approvals or to otherwise satisfy the
conditions to the completion of the proposed Arrangement; failure
of the parties to obtain such approvals or satisfy such conditions
in a timely manner; the possibility of adverse reactions or changes
in business relationships resulting from the completion of the
Arrangement; the possibility of litigation relating to the
Arrangement; credit, market, currency, operational, liquidity and
funding risks generally and relating specifically to the
Arrangement; significant Arrangement costs or unknown liabilities;
the failure to realize the expected benefits of the proposed
Arrangement; and general economic conditions; as well as the
identified risk factors included in the Company’s public
disclosure, including the annual information form dated March 29,
2022, which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the
Company’s website at www.faxcapitalcorp.com. Failure to obtain the
necessary Shareholder and Court approvals, or the failure of the
parties to otherwise satisfy the conditions to the completion of
the Arrangement or to complete the Arrangement, may result in the
proposed Arrangement not being completed on the proposed terms, or
at all. In addition, if the Arrangement is not completed, and the
Company continues as an independent entity, there are risks that
the announcement of the Arrangement and the dedication of
substantial resources of the Company to the completion of the
Arrangement could have an impact on its business, operating results
and activities in general. The FLS in this press release reflect
the current expectations, assumptions, judgements and/or beliefs of
the Company based on information currently available to the
Company, and are subject to change without notice. Consequently,
the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on the FLS
contained in this press release.
Any FLS speaks only as of the date on which it
is made and, except as may be required by applicable securities
laws, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any
FLS, whether as a result of new information, future events or
results or otherwise. The FLS contained in this press release are
expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. For more
information on the Company, please review the Company's continuous
disclosure filings that are available at www.sedar.com.
