ANEESH CAPITAL CORP. ENTERS INTO DEFINITIVE ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH TRIPLAY, INC., PARENT OF EMUSIC.COM INC., TO COMPLETE QUALIFYING TRANSACTION
Further to its letter of intent announced on Dec. 5, 2025, Aneesh Capital Corp. has entered into a definitive arrangement agreement dated June 11, 2026, with TriPlay Inc., the parent company of eMusic.com Inc., pursuant to a statutory plan of arrangement under Division 5 of Part 9 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The arrangement is intended to constitute Aneesh's qualifying transaction under Policy 2.4, Capital Pool Companies, of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Upon completion of the arrangement, holders of TriPlay common shares will exchange their shares for common shares of the resulting issuer, with TriPlay surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the resulting issuer and eMusic.com continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of TriPlay. The combined resulting issuer will carry forward eMusic's strategy as a publicly listed company on the TSX-V.
Transaction overview
Pursuant to the arrangement, holders of TriPlay common shares will receive common shares of Aneesh (following the completion of a share consolidation) in exchange for their TriPlay shares, based on an exchange ratio reflecting a deemed premoney valuation of $18-million (U.S.) for TriPlay and $750,000 (U.S.) for Aneesh (net of finders' fees and arrangement fees). Following closing, TriPlay will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of the resulting issuer, with eMusic.com continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of TriPlay. The arrangement is an arm's-length transaction.
Prior to or concurrently with closing, the parties intend to complete a financing of up to $2-million (U.S.), structured as equity, debt or subscription receipts, the proceeds of which are intended to satisfy the minimum listing requirements of the TSX-V for a Tier 2 technology issuer.
Management and board
Following completion of the arrangement, the resulting issuer will be led by eMusic's existing management team. The board of directors of the resulting issuer will be announced in a press release at a later date. All current directors and officers of Aneesh will resign effective upon closing. Concurrent with closing, Aneesh will change its name to a name to be determined by TriPlay.
eMusic has a long history of innovation in the digital music space," said Tamir Koch, chief executive officer of TriPlay and eMusic. "This transaction provides us with the capital and public currency to accelerate our growth, specifically with the launch of our new eMusic Royalties eXchange platform, which will modernize music financing and create additional value for rightsholders." Mr. Koch, who serves as CEO of TriPlay, would become executive chairman of the resulting issuer.
"We are very pleased to have reached this important milestone with TriPlay and eMusic," said Peeyush K. Varshney, chief executive officer of Aneesh Capital. "We look forward to working with the eMusic team toward a successful closing and the listing of the resulting issuer on the TSX-V."
