TORONTO, April 22, 2019 /CNW/ – Canaccord Genuity Growth Corp. (NEO: CGGC.UN) (“CGGC” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that at its special meeting (the “Meeting“) of shareholders of the Company (“Shareholders“) held today, Shareholders have approved CGGC’s proposed qualifying transaction (the “Transaction“) pursuant to which Columbia Care LLC (“Columbia Care“) will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Approximately 97.42% of the votes cast by holders of Class A restricted voting shares and Class B shares (together, the “Shares“) were in favour of the Transaction and approximately 91.73% and 91.73% of the votes cast were in favour of the continuance of CGGC from Ontario to British Columbia and the Company’s proposed long term incentive plan and certain one time Transaction-related equity based awards, in each case, as further described in CGGC’s management information circular dated March 21, 2019.
CGGC is also pleased to announce that only 1,000 Class A Restricted Voting Shares were submitted for redemption with respect to the Transaction.
The Transaction is expected to close (the “Closing“) on April 26, 2019, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions as set out in the transaction agreement entered into between CGGC and Columbia Care dated November 21, 2018, as amended on February 20, 2019. In connection with the Closing, it is expected that trading of the Class A Restricted Voting Units (CGGC.UN) on the Neo Exchange Inc. (the “NEO Exchange“) will be halted at close of business on April 25, 2019. Subject to the completion of the Transaction and final approval of the NEO Exchange, it is expected that the common shares and warrants to be issued pursuant to the Transaction will commence trading on the NEO Exchange on April 29, 2019 under the symbols “CCHW” and “CCHW.WT”, respectively.
As part of the Transaction, the Company will be renamed “Columbia Care Inc.” (“New Columbia Care“) and the common shares of New Columbia Care will be consolidated on the basis of one post-consolidation common share of New Columbia Care (each a “Common Share“) for three pre-consolidation shares. As a result, the Company’s warrants (the “Warrants“) will be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the warrant agency agreement so that following Closing each Warrant will be exercisable for one-third of one Common Share.
