Kelowna, B.C. - TheNewswire – March 29, 2021. Panorama Capital Corp. (“Panorama” or the “Company”) (TSXV:PANO.P), a capital pool company pursuant to Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”), is pleased to announce that due to changes by the Exchange to its Capital Pool Company program and changes to the Exchange's Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies, which become effective as at January 1, 2021 (the "Updated CPC Policy"), the Company intends to implement certain amendments to align its policies with the Updated CPC Policy.
Pursuant to the Updated CPC Policy, in order for the Company to align certain of its policies with the Updated CPC Policy it is required to obtain the approval of disinterested shareholders of the Company. As a result, the Company will be seeking such approval at its upcoming annual general and special meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on May 3, 2021 (the "Meeting"), for the following matters: (i) to amend the Company's Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan") to, among other things, become a "10% rolling" plan prior to the Company completing a Qualifying Transaction ("QT"); (ii) to remove the consequences of failing to complete a QT within 24 months of the Company's date of listing on the Exchange (the "Listing Date"); and (iii) to amend the escrow release conditions and certain other provisions of the Company's escrow agreement dated February 5, 2019 among the Company, TSX Trust Company and certain shareholders of the Company (the "Escrow Agreement"). These proposed amendments are described in further detail below.
Amendments to the Option Plan
The amendments to the Option Plan, will (i) allow the total number of common shares of the Company (the "Shares") reserved for issuance as options not to exceed 10% of the Shares issued and outstanding as at the date of grant, rather than at the closing date of the initial public offering ("IPO"), for options issued prior to the QT; (ii) allow the number of Shares reserved for issuance as options to any individual director or senior officer not to exceed 5% of the Shares outstanding as at the date of grant, rather than at the closing date of the IPO, for options issued prior to the QT; (iii) allow the number of Shares reserved for issuance as option to Consultants, as defined in the Option Plan, not to exceed 2% of the Shares outstanding as at the date of grant, rather than at the closing date of the IPO, for options issued prior to the QT; and (iv) require, prior to the granting of options, the optionee to first deposit the options, and the Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of such options, into escrow as described in the Escrow Agreement.
Removal of the Consequences of Failing to Complete a QT within 24
Months of the Listing Date
Under the Exchange's former Policy 2.4
– Capital Pool
Companies (as at June 14, 2010) (the
"Former
Policy") there are certain consequences if
a QT was not completed
within 24 months of the Listing Date. These consequences included a potential for Shares to be
delisted or suspended, or, subject to the approval of the majority of
the Company's shareholders, transferring Shares to list on the NEX and
cancelling certain seed shares. The Updated CPC Policy has removed
these consequences assuming disinterested shareholder approval is obtained. The Company
intends to ask disinterested shareholders to approve the removal of
such consequences at the Meeting, as it believes that it will afford
the Company greater flexibility to complete a QT
that is beneficial to all interested parties and
will also allow the Company to better withstand market volatility.
Amendments to the Escrow Agreement
The Company intends to ask disinterested shareholders to approve the
Company making certain amendments to the Escrow Agreement, including
allowing the Company's escrowed securities to be subject to an 18
month escrow release schedule as detailed in the Updated CPC Policy,
rather than the current 36 month escrow release schedule in the Former
Policy. In addition, the Company wishes to amend the Escrow Agreement
such that all options granted prior to the date the Exchange issues a
final bulletin for the QT ("Final QT
Exchange Bulletin") and all Shares that
were issued upon exercise of such options prior to the date of the
Final QT Exchange Bulletin will be released from escrow on the date of
the Final QT Exchange Bulletin, other than options that (a) were
granted prior to the initial public offering with an exercise price
that is less than the issue price of the Shares issued in the initial
public offering and (b) any Shares that were issued pursuant to the
exercise of such options, which will be released from escrow in
accordance with the 18 month escrow release schedule as detailed in
the Updated CPC Policy.
