(the " Company " or " Billy Goat Brands ") (CSE: GOAT), an investment issuer focused on investing in high-potential companies operating in the food technology sector, is pleased to announce it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (the " LOI ") dated June 30, 2022 with Kojo Pet Performance Inc. (" Kojo ").
The LOI contemplates a Proposed Transaction, whereby the Company would acquire all issued and outstanding securities of Kojo by way of a share exchange agreement. Kojo is an innovative pet-food brand focused on producing and marketing plant and cell-based pet food offerings.
The Proposed Transaction
Pursuant to the proposed transaction, the Company will issue common share in its capital to the holders of common shares in the capital of Kojo (the " Consideration Shares ") at a deemed price per consideration share at a deemed price per Consideration Share equal to the minimum price allowed pursuant to the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange, representing aggregate consideration to be determined and mutually agreed upon by the parties with reference to a pending valuation of Kojo, expected to be in the range of $500,000 to $1,000,000.
Additional shares may be issuable to the shareholders of Kojo, subject to the fulfillment of certain performance milestones being completed within 36 months from the closing date of the Proposed Transaction (the " Milestone Payments ").
The Proposed Transaction will be completed pursuant to available prospectus exemptions in accordance with applicable securities legislation. The Company and Kojo have agreed to negotiate in good faith the terms of a definitive agreement with respect to the proposed transaction within 60 days from the LOI.
The Proposed Transaction is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including, as applicable, approval of the CSE, completion of due diligence reasonable or customary in a transaction of a similar nature, and entering into a definitive agreement, among other conditions. The proposed transaction would be an arm's-length transaction for the company and would not constitute a fundamental change or result in a change of control of the company, within the meaning of the policies of the CSE.
The Company also announces that Tony Harris has resigned as Chief Executive Officer and Director effective immediately. Billy Goat Brands would like to thank Mr. Harris for his many contributions to the company and wishes him well with his future endeavours.
