ARCpoint Inc. (the “
Company”), formerly RSI
International Systems Inc., is pleased to announce that it has
closed its previously announced business combination (the
“
Transaction”) with ARCpoint Group LLC
(“
ARCpoint”) in accordance with the business
combination agreement dated April 27, 2022, as amended (the
“
Business Combination Agreement”), among the
Company, ARCpoint, ARCpoint Finance Corp. (“
ARCpoint
Finco”), 1000151427 Ontario Inc. (“
RSI
Subco”) and all of the securityholders of ARCpoint,
resulting in the reverse takeover of the Company by the members of
ARCpoint. Trading in the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares
(“
SVS”) of the Company on the TSX Venture Exchange
(the “
Exchange”) is expected to resume at open of
markets on October 27, 2022 under the symbol “ARC”.
Prior to the completion of the Transaction, the
Company consolidated its common shares on a 2.4930814 to 1 basis,
continued its corporate existence from British Columbia to the
federal jurisdiction under Canada Business Corporations Act
(“CBCA”) under the new corporate name “ARCpoint
Inc.”, created Class A Subordinate Voting Shares
(“SVS”) and Class B Proportionate Voting Shares
(“PVS”), and reclassified its post-consolidation
common shares into SVS for the purpose of structuring the Company
as a “foreign private issuer” under applicable U.S. securities
laws. Furthermore, ARCpoint, the Company and certain holder of
ARCpoint’s convertible notes with aggregate principal amount of
US$2.5 million (the “Convertible Notes”) have
amended the Convertible Notes to postpone the conversion date of
the Convertible Notes from the closing date of the Transaction to
the maturity dates of the Convertible Notes (being September 7,
2024 and December 31, 2024, respectively) (the “Conversion
Postponement”) and to permit the Convertible Notes to be
convertible into SVS of the Company at the postponed conversion at
a conversion price of US0.312 per SVS. The parties have
subsequently amended the Business Combination Agreement to, among
other things, give effect to the Conversion Postponement.
Following these changes, the Company, RSI Subco
and ARCpoint Finco completed a three-cornered amalgamation (the
“Amalgamation”) pursuant to which RSI Subco
amalgamated with ARCpoint Finco. In connection with the
Amalgamation, each common share of RSI Pubco was exchanged for one
common share of the amalgamated entity, each common share of
ARCpoint Finco was exchanged for one SVS of the Company, and each
warrant of ARCpoint Finco was exchanged for one SVS purchase
warrant of the Company.
Following the Amalgamation, the Company acquired
25,000 ARCpoint Class A Common Units held by Felix Mirando for
US$2,500,000 by issuing an unsecured 1.88% interest bear promissory
note (the “Promissory Note”) with a maturity date
of April 26, 2031 (the “Leveraged Acquisition”).
Immediately after giving effect to the Leveraged Acquisition, the
remaining securities of ARCpoint were exchanged with the securities
of the Company as follows: (A) each Class A Common Unit of ARCpoint
was exchanged for one PVS, (B) each Class B Common Unit of ARCpoint
was exchanged for 500 SVS, and (C) each Class B Common Unit
purchase warrant of ARCpoint was exchanged for 500 SVS purchase
warrants of the Company.
In connection with the Transaction, ARCpoint
Finco has satisfied the escrow release conditions of the
subscription receipt private placement previously announced on June
29 and October 18, 2022 (the “Private Placement”).
The escrowed funds, net of the cash commission and expenses payable
to the finders and the service fees of the subscription receipt
agent, has been released to ARCpoint Finco.
Upon completion of the Transaction, the Company
has a total 27,300,744 SVS and 123,894 PVS issued and outstanding.
Each PVS is convertible into 500 SVS under limited circumstances.
Assuming full conversion of the PVS into the SVS, the Company will
have a total of 89,247,744 SVS issued and outstanding, with 16.56%
held by former shareholders of the Company, 78.03% held by the
former securityholders of ARCpoint and 5.42% held by the investors
of the Private Placement, on a non-diluted basis. In connection
with the Transaction, the Company has issued 561,554 replacement
options to the former option holders of the Company, 5,000,000
replacement warrants to the former warrantholder of ARCpoint,
2,416,868 replacement warrants to the former warrantholders of
ARCpoint Finco, and 45,351 replacement compensation warrants to the
former compensation warrantholders of ARCpoint Finco. In addition,
the Company has reserved 8,012,500 SVS for issuance upon conversion
of the Convertible Notes.
Following the closing of the Transaction, the
incumbent directors and officers of the Company tendered their
resignations (other than Adam Ho and David Keys who remain as
directors of the Company), and the board of directors of the
Company is now comprised of the following individuals: John
Constantine, Felix Mirando, Mark Orsmond, Adam Ho and David Keys.
In addition, John Constantine has been appointed as the President
and Chief Executive Officer, Jason Tong has been appointed as the
Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary, and Dano
Jukanovich has been appointed as the Chief Operating Officer of the
Company.
The new omnibus incentive plan (the
“Omnibus Plan”) and the new CBCA by-laws (the
“New By-Laws”) of the Company approved by the
Company’s shareholders at its annual and special meeting
shareholders held on June 28, 2022 (the “Meeting”)
have received approval by the new board of directors of the Company
upon closing of the Transaction and have come into effect upon such
approval. The Omnibus Plan replaced the Company's existing stock
option plan and includes a 10% “rolling” option plan permitting a
maximum of 10% of the aggregate number of SVS that are: (A) then
issued and outstanding and (B) convertible from the PVS that are
then issued and outstanding, as at the date of any option grant to
be reserved for option grants and a fixed plan permitting 8,924,774
SVS of the Company to be reserved for grant of restricted share
units (“RSU”), performance share units and
deferred share units. A copy of the Omnibus Plan and the New
By-Laws are available under the Company’s profile at
www.sedar.com.
Following the closing of the Transaction, the
board of directors of the Company has approved the granting of
320,000 options (“Options”) and 353,000 RSU to
certain directors, officers, employees and consultants of the
Company under the Omnibus Plan. Each Option vests immediately upon
grant and is exercisable to acquire one SVS at an exercise price of
$0.45 until October 21, 2027. Each RSU can be settled for one SVS
after such RSU vests on October 21, 2023.
Furthermore, effective upon the closing of the
Transaction, the appointment of Davidson & Company LLP as the
auditor of the Company, as approved by the shareholders of the
Company at the Meeting, has become effective, and MNP LLP has
ceased to be the auditor of the Company. To the Company’s
knowledge, there were no “reportable events” as defined in section
4.11 of the National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure
Obligations.
The Company received conditional approval for
the Transaction from the the Exchange on August 5, 2022 and has
delivered all documentation to the Exchange required to satisfy its
listing conditions. It is expected that the SVS will be listed on
the Exchange and the PVS will not be listed for trading on the
Exchange but may be converted into Exchange-listed SVS under
limited circumstances. Upon issuance of the final exchange bulletin
of the Exchange providing final acceptance of the Transaction, the
Company will recommence trading as a Tier 2 Life Science Issuer on
the Exchange. Trading in the SVS of the Company on the Exchange is
expected to resume at open of markets on October 27, 2022 under the
symbol “ARC”.
