Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – October 14, 2021) – Good2GoRTO Corp. (TSXV: GRTO.P) (the “Corporation“) and FRX Polymers, Inc. (“FRX“), are pleased to announce further details concerning the concurrent brokered private placement and additional updates on the Corporation’s proposed arm’s length qualifying transaction (the “Transaction“), which were previously announced on August 3, 2021 following execution by the parties of a non-binding letter of intent with regard to the Transaction on August 3, 2021.

Concurrent Brokered Private Placement

On October 5, 2021, FRX and Finco (as defined below) engaged Echelon Wealth Partners Inc., as lead agent (the “Lead Agent“), on behalf of a syndicate of agents including Eight Capital and Haywood Securities Inc. (collectively with the Lead Agent, the “Agents“), to act as agents on a “best efforts” basis in connection with a private placement offering of a minimum of 13,000,000 subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts“) of FRX Polymer (Canada) Inc. (“Finco“), a wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary of FRX formed for the purposes of conducting the Offering and the Transaction, at a price of CAD$1.00 per Subscription Receipt (the “Issue Price“) for aggregate gross proceeds of a minimum of CAD$13,000,000 (the “Offering“).

The Agents have been granted an option (the “Agents’ Option“) to increase the size of the Offering by up to 15%. The Agents’ Option will be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Offering (the “Closing Date“).

Each Subscription Receipt will be sold at the Issue Price and will be automatically exchanged, for no additional consideration, into one unit of Finco (a “Unit“), on the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined below). Each Unit will be comprised of one common share in the capital of Finco (a “Common Share“) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant“). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of CAD$1.30 at any time prior to the first anniversary from the date of issuance.

The Offering is being completed in conjunction with the Transaction, pursuant to which the Common Shares (including the Common Shares issued upon exercise of the Subscription Receipts and the Warrants) and Warrants and other securities of Finco, and the securities of FRX, will be exchanged for common shares or another class of shares, warrants (“Resulting Issuer Shares” and “Resulting Issuer Warrants“, respectively), and other securities of the issuer resulting from the Transaction (the “Resulting Issuer“), which exchange will be made and subject to: (i) compliance with Canadian securities laws; (ii) the Resulting Issuer Shares being listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange“); and (iii) the Resulting Issuer being a “foreign private issuer” as such term is defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act (as defined below).

In connection with the Offering, Finco will pay the Agents a cash fee of 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering (the “Agents’ Fee“). One-half of the Agents’ Fee will be payable on the Closing Date and the remaining one-half will be payable upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions. The Agents will also be entitled to compensation warrants from Finco (the “Compensation Warrants“) equal to 7.0% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold pursuant to the Offering, issuable on the Closing Date. The Agents have granted Finco a president’s list (the “President’s List“) whereby Finco will pay a reduced commission of 3.0% cash and 3.0% Compensation Warrants on gross proceeds of up to CAD$3,000,000, in respect of subscriptions made by purchasers identified as President’s List purchasers.

Provided the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied, pursuant to the Transaction, each Compensation Warrant will be exchanged for one compensation warrant of the Resulting Issuer (each a “Resulting Issuer Compensation Warrant“) upon the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions. Each Resulting Issuer Compensation Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for that number of Resulting Issuer Shares equal to the number of Resulting Issuer Shares issued in exchange for each Common Share pursuant to the Transaction at a price equal to the Issue Price for a period of 24 months from the date of the completion of the Transaction. If the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied at or prior to the Escrow Deadline (as defined below), the Compensation Warrants shall be immediately cancelled.

The gross proceeds of the offering, less 50% of the Agents’ Fee and all of the Agents’ expenses incurred up to the Closing Date, (the “Escrowed Funds“) will be held in escrow pending satisfaction of certain release conditions (the “Escrow Release Conditions“), such as the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the completion of the Transaction and the receipt of all required shareholder and regulatory approvals related to the Transaction (including, without limitation, conditional approval of the Exchange of the Transaction and the listing of the Resulting Issuer Shares). In the event that the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied on or prior to 5:00 PM on the date that is 120 days after the Closing Date (the “Escrow Deadline“), the Escrowed Funds will be returned to the subscribers in accordance with the terms of the subscription receipt agreement governing the Subscription Receipts.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for sales, marketing, capital expenditures, costs associated with the Transaction, and general working capital purposes.

The Subscription Receipts will be offered for sale to purchasers in: (i) all of the Provinces of Canada as agreed upon between Finco and the Lead Agent, pursuant to available private placement exemptions; (ii) the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to available exemptions from the registration requirements under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act“); and (iii) offshore jurisdictions agreed upon between Finco and the Lead Agent pursuant to available prospectus or registration exemptions in accordance with applicable laws. The Common Shares to be issued under the Offering will be subject to an indefinite hold period under applicable securities laws. Upon completion of the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer Shares will not be subject to any statutory hold periods under applicable securities laws. The listing of the Resulting Issuer Shares remains subject to approval by the Exchange.
