Background to the Transaction
交易背景
The Company entered into a binding agreement with respect to the Acquisition on October 16, 2024, as announced the same day. Each of AlphaStream and the AlphaStream affiliate, being Alpha 1 SPV Limited, is an arm's length party to the Company. No finder's fee has been paid or is payable by the Company in connection with the Acquisition. The consideration of US$28,000,000 is equivalent to C$37,889,039 based on the Bank of Canada exchange rate for converting US dollars into Canadian dollars of US$1=CDN$1.35318 on October 3, 2024. The shares issued to Alpha 1 SPV Limited Shares pursuant to the Acquisition will be subject to restrictions on transfer for a period of four months plus a day pursuant to Canadian securities laws and TSX Venture Exchange requirements.
公司於2024年10月16日就收購事項簽訂了有約束力的協議,並於同一天宣佈。 AlphaStream和AlphaStream附屬公司Alpha 1 SPV Limited均爲公司的獨立方。公司在與收購相關的交易中未支付或將支付任何中介費。考慮到2024年10月3日加拿大銀行將美元兌換加元的匯率爲1美元=1.35318加元,2800萬美元的考量相當於3889039加元。根據加拿大證券法和tsxv的要求,發放給Alpha 1 SPV Limited的股份將在四個月零一天的期限內受到轉讓限制。
The Portfolio Acquisition provides immediate cash flow with approximately US$6 million additional revenue forecast in 2025 by consolidating the Portfolio and expected pro forma 2025 revenue increase of ~25% to US$31 million1, driving a material step up in free cash flow with no increase in management costs. The calculation was made using 2025 broker consensus of US$25 million at the time of announcement of the Acquisition, adding an estimated US$6 million of revenue contribution from the increase in the Company's ownership interest in the Portfolio to 100%, which is in line with year-to-date asset performance. The purpose of providing this figure is to provide a pro forma picture of the Company's revenue now that the Acquisition has closed and the Company owns 100% of the entities that hold the Portfolio. The information may not be appropriate for other purposes and is subject to the risks identified below under "Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements".
資產組合收購帶來即時現金流,2025年預計通過整合資產組合而帶來約600萬美元的額外收入,預計2025年的預估淨收入增長約25%,達到3100萬美元,自由現金流大幅增加,而管理成本沒有增加。該計算是根據2025年收購公告時的經紀人共識2500萬美元進行的,新增的收入估計600萬美元來自公司持有資產組合100%的權益增加。這與今年以來資產表現一致。提供這個數字的目的是爲了提供公司當前營收的預估情況,因爲收購已經完成,公司現在擁有持有資產組合的實體100%。這些信息可能不適用於其他用途,並受到下文「關於前瞻性聲明的警示」下識別出的風險的約束。

Shares issued to La Mancha pursuant to its Anti-dilution Right will be subject to restrictions on transfer for a period of four months plus a day pursuant to Canadian securities laws and TSX Venture Exchange requirements and is subject to final approval (on a post-closing basis) of the TSX Venture Exchange.
