FAX Capital Corp. Announces Receipt of Final Court Approval for Going Private Transaction
June 29 2022 - 4:30PM
FAX Capital Corp. (TSX: FXC) (the “
Company”) is
pleased to announce that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice
(Commercial List) has issued a final order approving the previously
announced plan of arrangement (the “
Arrangement”)
involving, among other things, the acquisition, indirectly through
an acquisition company, by Fax Investments Inc. (“
Fax
Investments”) of all of the issued and outstanding
subordinate voting shares of the Company (“
Subordinate
Voting Shares”) not already owned by Fax Investments or
Blair Driscoll at a price of $5.18 per Subordinate Voting Share.
The Arrangement was approved by shareholders at
the annual general and special meeting of the Company’s
shareholders held on June 24, 2022. The Arrangement is expected to
be completed on or about July 4, 2022, subject to the satisfaction
or waiver of customary closing conditions. Further information
regarding the Arrangement is provided in the Company’s management
information circular dated May 25, 2022, which is available on the
Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Upon closing of the Arrangement, holders of
Subordinate Voting Shares will be entitled to receive $5.18 in cash
for each Subordinate Voting Share held. Registered holders of
Subordinate Voting Shares can submit their share certificates or
Direct Registration System statements (“DRS
Advices”) along with a duly completed letter of
transmittal in order to receive the cash consideration under the
Arrangement. A copy of the letter of transmittal has been filed
under the Company’s issuer profile at www.sedar.com. Registered
holders of Subordinate Voting Shares who properly complete, duly
execute and deliver the letter of transmittal, along with their
share certificates or DRS Advices, will receive the cash
consideration of $5.18 per share pursuant to the Arrangement.
Following the closing of the Arrangement, the
Subordinate Voting Shares are expected to be voluntarily de-listed
from the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Company expects that it
will cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian
securities laws.

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. FLS
contained or referred to in this press release include, but are not
limited to, statements regarding the completion of the Arrangement,
the timing of such completion and the timing of the voluntary
de-listing of the Subordinate Voting Shares from the Toronto Stock
Exchange. 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 satisfy, in a
timely manner, the conditions to the completion of the Arrangement
and other expectations and assumptions concerning the Arrangement.
The anticipated date indicated may change for a number of reasons.
Accordingly, investors and others are cautioned that undue reliance
should not be placed on any FLS.
Risks and uncertainties inherent in the nature
of the Arrangement and the process for de-listing the Subordinate
Voting Shares and ceasing to be a reporting issuer 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
satisfy the conditions to the completion of the Arrangement;
failure of the parties to 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 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 of
the parties to satisfy the conditions to the completion of the
Arrangement or to complete the Arrangement may result in the
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
