FAX Capital Corp. (TSX: FXC) (the “
Company”) is
pleased to announce that, pursuant to the previously announced plan
of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the
“
Arrangement”), Fax Investments Inc. (“
Fax
Investments”), acting through a wholly-owned acquisition
company, has indirectly acquired all of the issued and outstanding
subordinate voting shares of the Company (“
Subordinate
Voting Shares”), other than the Subordinate Voting Shares
already owned by Fax Investments or Blair Driscoll, effective today
for a price of $5.18 in cash per Subordinate Voting Share. A
detailed description of the Arrangement, which was approved by the
Company’s shareholders at its annual general and special meeting on
June 24, 2022, is set out 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.
Consideration for the purchased Subordinate
Voting Shares will be sent to former holders of Subordinate Voting
Shares as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof (or,
in the case of registered shareholders, as soon as reasonably
practicable after a properly completed and signed letter of
transmittal is received by the depositary together with the share
certificates and/or direct registration system advices
(“DRS Advices”) representing Subordinate Voting
Shares formerly held by them).
Registered holders of Subordinate Voting Shares
can submit their share certificates or DRS Advices along with a
duly completed letter of transmittal in order to receive the cash
consideration under the Arrangement. The letter of transmittal has

Shareholders of the Company who hold their Subordinate Voting
Shares through a broker are not required to submit a letter of
transmittal. Such shareholders should receive the cash
consideration through their brokerage account and should contact
their broker with any questions.
As a result of the transaction, the Subordinate
Voting Shares will be voluntarily de-listed from the Toronto Stock
Exchange. In addition, Fax Investments intends to cause the Company
to submit an application to cease to be a reporting issuer under
applicable Canadian securities law and to otherwise terminate the
Company’s public reporting requirements.

reporting requirements; failure of the Company to obtain such
approvals 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;
