WINNIPEG, Manitoba, June 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dynamic Technologies Group Inc. (NEX: DTG.H, OTC:ERILF) (“Dynamic”, “DTGI” or “Company”), with reference to the Company’s prior news release dated June 13, 2023, announces that on June 23, 2023 the Company obtained, from the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta (the “Court”) under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) (the “CCAA”), an order for an approval and reverse vesting order and a sale approval and vesting order (collectively, the “Court Order”) to implement the previously announced Transaction (defined below) involving Dynamic and its subsidiaries, Dynamic Attractions Ltd., Dynamic Entertainment Group Ltd., Dynamic Structures Ltd. and Dynamic Attractions Inc. (“Subsidiaries”). The Court Order is the sole authorization required by Dynamic and its Subsidiaries to proceed with the Transaction.
The Transaction
Dynamic and its Subsidiaries intend to complete a transaction (the “Transaction”) as soon as practicable, pursuant to which, among other things: (i) a Canadian subsidiary of Promising Expert Limited (the “Purchaser”) will acquire: (i) one (1) new Class “A” Common Share in the capital of Dynamic (the “DTGI Share”) for a subscription price of $1.00, and all other issued and outstanding equity securities in the capital of Dynamic other than the DTGI Share will be cancelled, resulting in the Purchaser owning 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Dynamic upon completion of the Transaction; (ii) all of the issued and outstanding equity securities in the capital of Dynamic Structures Ltd. (“DSL”), other than the equity securities of DSL held by persons other than Dynamic will be cancelled for no consideration, resulting in the Purchaser owning 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of DSL upon completion of the Transaction; (iii) all of the issued and outstanding equity securities in the capital of Dynamic Attractions Ltd.; and (iv) all of the issued and outstanding equity securities in the capital of Dynamic Entertainment Group Ltd.
Pursuant to the Court Order, excluded liabilities and excluded assets of Dynamic and its Subsidiaries will be vested out of Dynamic and its Subsidiaries and will be assumed and taken up by another entity referred to as a residual company (“ResidualCo”). All claims against Dynamic and its Subsidiaries that are not satisfied through the Transaction will be claims against ResidualCo and will have the same priority against any of the excluded assets that are transferred into ResidualCo.
No action is required for the existing holders of the equity securities of Dynamic or DSL for the completion of the Transaction. As described above, all of the issued and outstanding equity securities in the capital of Dynamic, other than the DTGI Share, and all of the issued and outstanding equity securities in the capital of DSL held by persons other than Dynamic will be disposed of by the holders and cancelled for no consideration, which may result in tax filing obligations for certain holders that are non-residents of Canada.
