Nextech AR To Spin Out Real-World Augmented Reality Spatial Mapping Platform ARitize Maps

In connection with the Transaction, PC 1 will also seek shareholder approval for (i) a change of name of PC 1 to such name that is determined by Nextech (the “Name Change”); (ii) the election of three (3) individuals to the board of directors of PC 1 chosen by Nextech; (iii) approval of a new fixed 20% stock option plan (the “New Option Plan”); and (v) if required by the TSXV, the approval of the Transaction. It is the parties’ intention that upon closing of the Transaction, the board of PC 1 shall be reconstituted in a manner that complies with the requirements of the TSXV and applicable securities laws.

Concurrent Financing

As a condition to the completion of the Transaction, ARWAY or a special purpose finance vehicle will complete a brokered private placement of a minimum of 6,000,000 subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts”) at a price of C$0.25 per Subscription Receipt to raise aggregate gross proceeds of a minimum of C$1,500,000 (the “Private Placement”). Each Subscription Receipt will automatically convert upon the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Transaction and certain other ancillary conditions (the “Release Conditions”) into units (“Units”) at no additional cost to, and without further action by, the holder of such Subscription Receipt, with each Unit ultimately being comprised of one (1) PC 1 Post-Consolidation Share and one share purchase warrant (each such share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant being exercisable to acquire one (1) additional PC 1 Post-Consolidation Share at an exercise price of C$0.50 for a period of three years from the date of issuance. In connection with the Private Placement, Nextech proposes to engage a syndicate of investment dealers to effect the Private Placement on economic terms to be determined in the sole discretion of Nextech. The gross proceeds from the Private Placement will be held in escrow pending the satisfaction of the Release Conditions, whereupon the Units underlying the Subscription Receipts will be issued to the purchasers and the gross proceeds of the Private Placement will be paid to PC 1. In the event the Transaction does not occur by a scheduled deadline, the Subscription Receipts will be terminated. Each Subscription Receipt will terminate on the earlier of: (i) the failure to satisfy the Release Conditions prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on a scheduled date to be determined (the “Release Deadline”); or (ii) public announcement by PC 1 or Nextech prior to the Release Deadline, that (A) it does not intend to satisfy any of the Release Conditions or (B) the Release Conditions are incapable of being satisfied by the Release Deadline. On termination of the Subscription Receipts, the gross proceeds of the Private Placement shall be returned to the purchasers pro rata without any deduction or interest and the Subscription Receipts shall be automatically cancelled.

It is intended that the proceeds raised pursuant to the Private Placement will be used for further development and promotion of the ARitize Maps app and for general corporate purposes. The Private Placement is anticipated to close prior to July 31, 2022.

Details of the Proposed Transaction

The deemed price for each PC 1 Post-Consolidation Share to be issued in consideration for the Transaction shall be C$0.25, or such other price as permitted by applicable regulatory authorities, including the TSXV. It is expected that following completion of the Transaction but prior to giving effect to the Private Placement, the current holders of PC 1 Shares will hold approximately 33.3% of the outstanding PC 1 Post-Consolidation Shares, the holders of the Distributed Shares will hold approximately 6.6% of the outstanding PC 1 Post-Consolidation Shares (subject to increase at the discretion of Nextech), the holders of the Services Shares will hold approximately 6.6% of the outstanding PC 1 Post-Consolidation Shares (subject to increase at the discretion of Nextech) and Nextech will hold approximately 53.3% of the outstanding PC 1 Post-Consolidation Shares (in each case, assuming the completion of the Consolidation and without giving effect to the exercise of any outstanding convertible securities of PC 1).
