Quinto Resources and Next Level Health Sciences enter into a reverse takeover transaction
April 30 2021 - 7:00AM
Quinto Resources Inc. (“
Quinto”) (TSXV: QIT) and
Next Level Health Sciences Inc. (“
Next Level”)
have entered into a definitive agreement for the purpose of
completing a reverse takeover transaction (the
“
Transaction”).
Next Level is a Canadian-based food science and
technology company. The company is focused on developing licensable
technologies to enhance the delivery of bioactives to the
bloodstream and on driving near-term revenue through the
development and supply of non-regulated functional mushrooms and
novel food products that provide health and wellness support. To
achieve its objectives, Next Level relies on an experienced team of
professionals focused on research and development, intellectual
property, treatment and delivery protocols, and functional
superfoods and beverages within the Global Psychedelics Market.
Transaction
Pursuant to the Transaction between Quinto and
Next Level, all the issued and outstanding shares of Next Level
will be exchanged for approximately 68,000,000 post-consolidated
common shares in the capital of Quinto, based on a ratio of 1.40
shares of Quinto for every share of Next Level, and assuming
completion of the financings of Next Level noted below.
Founder & CEO of Next Level Health Science
Inc., David Weinkauf states, “We are happy to complete this
agreement with Quinto as part of our 2021 commitment to the
shareholders of Next Level Health Sciences Inc. that have supported
us on our vision to be a global front runner in the emerging
functional & psychedelic food science & technology
market.”
Prior to the closing of the Transaction, Quinto
will complete a consolidation (the
“Consolidation”) of its common shares on the basis
of 10 pre-consolidated common shares for one post consolidated
common share. Quinto will obtain the approval for the Consolidation
from its board of directors in accordance with its Articles and
will also seek approval for the Consolidation from its
shareholders, subject to receiving TSX Venture Exchange
(“TSXV”) approval to proceed in this manner. The
directors and officers of Quinto will agree to support and vote in
favour of or otherwise approve of the Consolidation resolution,
including executing the written consent resolution referenced above
such that they vote all their shares in favour of the
resolution.
Next Level will conduct two non-brokered
financings for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately up to
$1,000,000 to close prior to the closing of the Transaction and the
Consolidation.
Additionally, on or about the closing of the
Transaction, Quinto will complete a non-brokered financing for
gross proceeds of not less than $3,000,000 on terms and conditions
to be determined and priced within the context of the market as a
well as a share for debt settlement.
Board of Directors
It is the intention of the parties to establish
and maintain a board of directors of the resulting issuer (the
“Resulting Issuer”) that has a mix of appropriate skill sets and is
compliant with all regulatory and corporate governance
requirements. Upon completion of the Transaction, the board of
directors of the Resulting Issuer will consist of five directors,
three of which will be designated by Next Level and two by Quinto,
with at least two independent directors on the board of the
Resulting Issuer.
Quinto expects to retain the services of Haywood
Securities Inc. to act as sponsor in connection with the
Transaction, but the terms and conditions of the sponsorship have
not yet been determined. An agreement to sponsor should not be
construed as any assurance with respect to the merits of the
Transaction or the likelihood of completion.
The Transaction was negotiated at arm's length
and is subject to the completion of a due diligence review by both
parties, the signing of a definitive agreement, completion of the
two non-brokered financings, and regulatory approval. Since Quinto
is a Canadian public company with its common shares listed on the
TSXV, the Transaction will constitute a change of business for
Quinto under the rules of the TSXV. As a result, Quinto will
require the approval of its shareholders to complete the
Transaction and will call a shareholder meeting, subject to TSXV
approval.
Trading in the common shares of Quinto will
remain halted as a result of this announcement and until the
resumption of trading is approved by the TSXV.
