Mr. Terry Pullen reports

GREENBANK COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF ADDITIONAL STAMINIER SHARES

Following a request from the shareholders of Staminier Ltd., GreenBank Capital Inc. has agreed to acquire an additional 29.5 per cent of the issued ordinary share capital of Staminier, in what constitutes a significant step toward full GreenBank ownership of Staminier.

Summary:

  • The company is pleased to announce that it has now completed the acquisition of 29.1 per cent out of the expected 29.5 per cent, in consideration of the issuance to the vendors (who are the shareholders of Staminier) of 31,848,428 common shares of GreenBank (in lieu of the special shares that had originally been announced as being the intended consideration).
  • The 31,848,428 GreenBank common shares are subject to the statutory hold period of four months and one day.
  • Note that these common shares are being issued in lieu of the special shares which were referred to in the release of Aug. 3, 2022, as being the intended consideration.
  • Following the acquisition of this additional 29.1 per cent of Staminier's share capital, GreenBank now holds 48.1 per cent of the ordinary share capital of Staminier.

Further information

Of the 31,848,428 GreenBank common shares, 4,810,522 issued as consideration are to be issued shortly by the transfer agent, directly to the vendors with the balance of 27,087,906 GreenBank common shares at or around the same time being placed and held in escrow until the conditions for release from escrow have been met. It is hoped that GreenBank will very shortly be in a position to complete the acquisition of the remaining 0.4 per cent of the 29.5 per cent announced on Aug. 3, at which point a further 18,758 common shares will be issued directly to the vendors in question and a further 105,426 placed into the same escrow. The conditions for release of the GreenBank shares from escrow have been drafted with the aim of ensuring that, until such time as the company has published a prospectus, the vendors do not collectively hold more than 45 per cent of the voting rights of GreenBank.

In addition, GreenBank has agreed to extend the current put option of which the Staminier shareholders have the benefit until March 31, 2023, subject to the option not being exercisable without the consent of GreenBank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or at any time when such exercise will result in GreenBank or any persons acting in concert (as defined in The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers published by the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (as amended from time to time)) together acquiring an interest in the shares of Staminier giving control of Staminier (within the meaning of Section 1124 of the United Kingdom Corporation Tax Act 2010), at a time whilst the future fund is a lender under the convertible loan agreement dated March 31, 2021.

Terry Pullen, chief executive officer, said: "We are pleased to have significantly increased our stake in Staminier and feel that the close working relationship between the two companies is already providing substantial enhanced financial value. We are very excited indeed about our prospects as we shift gear in terms of corporate action, profitability and market awareness."
