Calgary, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – June 14, 2021) – Timeless Capital Corp. (TSXV: TLC.P) (“Timeless” or the “Company“), a capital pool company as defined under TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV” or the “Exchange“), is pleased to announce it has entered into an arm’s length binding letter of intent dated June 9, 2021 (the “LOI“) with Brane Inc. (“Brane“), a private company incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), in respect of a proposed business combination that would result in the reverse take-over of Timeless by Brane to form the resulting issuer (the “Resulting Issuer“) who will continue on the business of Brane (the “Transaction“). Timeless intends that the Transaction will constitute its Qualifying Transaction, as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange.

About Brane

Founded in 2017, Brane is a blockchain innovation company, which provides digital asset custody services. Brane’s goal is to become the first made in Canada qualified custodian for digital assets, providing Canadian financial institutions and investors with a domestic alternative.

Summary of Proposed Transaction

The LOI was negotiated at arm’s length and is effective as of June 9, 2021. The terms and conditions outlined in the LOI are binding on the parties and the LOI is expected to be superseded by a definitive agreement (the “Definitive Agreement“) to be negotiated between the parties.

The Transaction will be structured based on the advice from legal, tax and professional advisors. Based on the information available to Timeless at the date hereof, Timeless proposes that, subject to TSXV and/or regulatory approval and certain conditions, it would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Brane (“Brane Shares“) in exchange for common share of Timeless (“Timeless Shares“), on the basis of one (1) Timeless Share for each Brane Share. For the purposes of the Transaction, the Timeless Shares will have a deemed value of $0.20 per Timeless Share on a pre-Consolidation basis. Immediately prior to the completion of the Transaction, Timeless will effect a share consolidation (the “Consolidation“), which will result in the Timeless Shares having a deemed value equal to the value of the Brane Shares, as determined by the pricing of the Concurrent Financing (as defined below), provided that in no event shall the Consolidation ratio exceed one (1) post-consolidation Timeless Share (“Post Consolidation Timeless Share“) for every five (5) pre-consolidation Timeless Shares. As a result of the Transaction, any outstanding convertible securities of Brane will be adjusted accordingly or replacement securities issued in the Resulting Issuer.

It is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer will continue the business of Brane under a new name which will include “Brane”, or such other name as the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer shall determine and as may be approved by the TSXV (the “Name Change“). Upon completion of the Transaction, all directors and officers of Timeless (elected or appointed prior to the completion of the Transaction) shall resign and each of the directors and officers of the Resulting Issuer shall be nominees of Brane.

Certain common shares of the Resulting Issuer to be issued pursuant to the Transaction are expected to be subject to restrictions on resale or escrow under the policies of the TSXV, including the securities to be issued to “Principals” (as defined under TSXV policies), which will be subject to the escrow requirements of the Exchange.

Completion of the Transaction will be subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, negotiation and execution of the Definitive Agreement, each of Timeless and Brane being satisfied with the results of its due diligence review of the other party, completion of the Concurrent Financing (as described below) for gross proceeds of not less than $5,000,000, receipt of Timeless and Brane board approval for the Transaction, receipt of Brane shareholder approval of the Transaction, receipt of Timeless shareholder approval for all necessary matters, including the Name Change and Consolidation, and Timeless and Brane obtaining all necessary consents, orders and regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Exchange, and other customary conditions.

Where applicable, the Transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

Further terms relating to the Concurrent Financing, including the pricing thereof, shall be disclosed in a future press release.

In addition, the LOI permits Brane to raise up to an addition $3,000,000 prior to completion of the Concurrent Financing and the Transaction.

Sponsorship

Timeless intends to make an application for exemption from the sponsorship requirements of the TSXV in connection with the Transaction, however there is no assurance that the TSXV will exempt Timeless from all or part of applicable sponsorship requirements.

Upon closing of the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer expects to list as a Tier 2 issuer on the Exchange.

The Transaction will not constitute a “Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction” (as such term is defined in the policies of the TSXV). Accordingly, it is not anticipated that the Transaction will be subject to the approval of the Timeless shareholders.
