WINNIPEG, MBOct. 26, 2021 /CNW/ – Anacott Acquisition Corporation (TSXV: AAC.P) (the “Company” or “Anacott“) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Letter of Intent dated October 25, 2021 with Botanical Holdings PLC (“Botanical Holdings“), to enable Botanical Holdings to complete a going-public transaction in Canada (the “Proposed Transaction“).

 

ABOUT BOTANICAL HOLDINGS

Botanical Holdings is a dynamic investment holding company which is focused on the legal medical cannabis chain. Botanical Holdings has secured a number of unique investment opportunities in the rapidly growing global cannabis market. Botanical Holdings aims to create a diversified and risk adjusted portfolio of companies that spans the cross-section and value chain of the medical cannabis market. Botanical Holdings currently has holdings in Eurocan, a producer of high-quality medical cannabis products and extracts, with operations in Portugal and Lesotho; Southern African Hemp, a hemp cultivation site in Zimbabwe; and Unearthed, a producer of consumer CBD products, including a line of high-quality CBD extracts.

 

TERMS OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION

For the purposes of the Proposed Transaction, the deemed value of the currently outstanding common shares of Anacott (“Anacott Shares“) will be $800,000. Pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, it is currently intended that: (i) the outstanding Anacott Shares will be consolidated on the basis of a ratio that results in the aggregate number of post-consolidation Anacott Shares multiplied by $0.35, being the issue price of the Subscription Receipts offered in the Concurrent Offering (each as defined below), being equal to $800,000, subject to rounding (the “Consolidation“); and (ii) the holders of shares of Botanical Holdings (“Botanical Holdings Shares“) will receive one (1) post-Consolidation Anacott Share in exchange for each outstanding Botanical Holdings Share. Following the completion of the Proposed Transaction, the securityholders of Botanical Holdings (including those investors under the Concurrent Offering) will hold a significant majority of the outstanding common shares of Anacott.

 

In conjunction with, and prior to the closing of the Proposed Transaction, Anacott intends to complete a private placement of approximately $7,000,000 of subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts“) at an anticipated price of $0.35 per subscription receipt (the “Concurrent Offering“). It is anticipated that each Subscription Receipt will be automatically exchanged for one Anacott Share upon the satisfaction of specified escrow release conditions, which will include, among other things, the completion or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Proposed Transaction and the conditional approval for listing of the common shares of the resulting issuer (the “Resulting Issuer“) on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“).

 

Anacott intends that the Proposed Transaction will constitute its “Qualifying Transaction” under Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies of the TSXV. The Proposed Transaction will be an arm’s length transaction. A comprehensive news release with further particulars relating to the Proposed Transaction, financial particulars, transaction structure, descriptions of the proposed management and directors of the Resulting Issuer, terms of any sponsorship, if applicable, among other particulars, will follow in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.

 

Completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including, but not limited to: (a) completion of satisfactory due diligence; (b) execution of a definitive agreement; (c) receipt of regulatory approvals; (d) acceptance of the Proposed Transaction as Anacott’s Qualifying Transaction by the TSXV; (e) receipt of approval for the listing of the common shares of the Resulting Issuer by the TSXV; (f) the completion of the Concurrent Offering; (g) the delivery of the financial statements of both Anacott and Botanical Holdings; (h) the shareholders of Anacott approving certain matters ancillary to the Proposed Transaction, including the Consolidation, the appointment of Botanical Holdings’ director nominees, and a change in name of Anacott to “Botanical Holdings Corp.” or “Botanical Holdings Inc.”, all subject to the completion of the Proposed Transaction; (g) the delivery of letters of resignation and reciprocal releases from such directors and officers of Anacott as mutually agreed conditional upon the completion of the Proposed Transaction; (h) Anacott will have cash on hand of not less than CDN $75,000; and (i) other condition precedents customary for a transaction such as the Proposed Transaction. There can, however, be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

 

In connection with the Proposed Transaction, Anacott has entered into a finder’s fee agreement (the “Finder’s Fee Agreement“) with an arm’s length party (the “Finder“) for the Finder’s introduction of Anacott to Botanical Holdings. Pursuant to the terms of the Finder’s Fee Agreement, the parties have agreed to pay the Finder a fee equal to the lesser of 10% of the post-Consolidation Anacott Shares issuable to the shareholders of Botanical Holdings, or the maximum finder’s fee payable under the policies of the TSXV.

 

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the filing statement to be prepared in connection with the Proposed Transaction, any information released or received with respect to the Proposed Transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon.

 

Trading in securities of a capital pool company should be considered highly speculative. Shares of Anacott have been halted from trading on the TSXV, and trading is not expected to resume until closing of the Proposed Transaction.
