Parkit Enterprise Inc. (“
Parkit” or the
“
Company”) (TSXV:PKT), is pleased to announce the
proposed purchase of a neighbouring industrial real estate asset
and that it has filed its articles of continuance to continue
Parkit out of the Province of British Columbia and into the
Province of Ontario under the provisions of the Business
Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “
Continuance”).
Industrial Real Estate
Acquisition Parkit has entered into an asset purchase
agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with a
private company (“Vendor”), pursuant to which
Parkit has agreed to acquire 720 Tapscott Rd, Toronto, Ontario (the
“Property”) for an aggregate purchase price of
$3,600,000, subject to customary adjustments (the “Proposed
Acquisition”). The Vendor is not a related party to Parkit
and the Proposed Acquisition constitutes an arm’s length
transaction for the purposes of the TSX Venture Exchange
(“TSXV”) policies. It is anticipated that the
Proposed Acquisition will be completed in Q3.
Property and Expansion720
Tapscott Rd complements Parkit's existing platform as it neighbours
two of the Company's properties, 5600 and 5610 Finch Ave East.
After closing the Proposed Acquisition, Parkit will own a
contiguous 14 acre parcel of land. The Company plans to augment its
expansion of 5610 Finch Ave East by adding an additional 60,000+
square feet of rentable industrial space on 5610 Finch Ave East and
720 Tapscott Rd. Upon completion, the total rentable industrial
space on these two properties will be at least 175,000 square
feet.
Post closing of the Proposed Acquisition and
completion of the planned expansions, Parkit will own over 300,000
square feet of industrial space on 14 acres of land on the combined
5600, 5610 Finch Ave East and 720 Tapscott Rd properties.
Steven Scott, Chairman, states, “The Tapscott Rd
acquisition is a continuation of our strategy to acquire
high-quality industrial properties in the Greater Toronto Area. The
property provides a valuable expansion opportunity and optionality
in the future.”
Purchase Price and Payment The
purchase of the Property for $3,600,000, subject to standard
adjustments, will be satisfied through the issuance of $100,000 of
common shares in the capital of the Company and $3,500,000 from
funds on hand. The common shares issued in connection with the
Proposed Acquisition will be subject to a hold period of four
months and one day following the date of issuance.
Conditions Precedent to the
AcquisitionsThe closing of the Proposed Acquisition is
subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to,
completion of satisfactory due diligence, satisfactory
environmental site assessment reports and acceptance of the
TSXV.
Continuance to OntarioThe
Continuance to Ontario became effective on July 9, 2021. The
Continuance was approved by the shareholders of Parkit at the
Annual and Special General Meeting of Shareholders held on April
29, 2021.
No action will be required by existing
shareholders with respect to the Continuance.
