• FRX Polymers, Inc. is a private company that was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and that manufactures environmentally sustainable flame-retardant products
• FRX Polymers, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, FRX Polymer (Canada) Inc. (“Finco”), intends to complete a brokered private placement financing for gross proceeds of a minimum of CAD$13 million
• G2G expects to hold an annual general and special meeting of shareholders on or about December 1, 2021 to approve all matters related to the Qualifying Transaction

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – November 2, 2021) – Good2GoRTO Corp. (“G2G” or the “Corporation“) (TSXV: GOTO.P) and FRX Polymers, Inc. (“FRX“) are pleased provide an update to their previously announced non-binding letter of intent dated August 3, 2021 to complete a going-public transaction for FRX (the “Proposed Transaction“), by way of entering into a Business Combination Agreement (as defined below) setting out the terms of the amalgamation and the merger that will constitute G2G’s “Qualifying Transaction” (the “Qualifying Transaction”) under Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies (the “CPC Policy“) of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“).

Pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, amongst other steps, it is contemplated that a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of G2G will merge with FRX, and a wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary of G2G will amalgamate with Finco, and the security holders of FRX and Finco will become security holders of G2G. G2G will issue common shares to the security holders of FRX and Finco (“Resulting Issuer Shares“). In this press release, G2G, as it will exist after the completion of the Proposed Transaction, is referred to as the “Resulting Issuer“. It is the parties’ intention that the Resulting Issuer will be listed on the TSXV following the closing of the Proposed Transaction. G2G intends to change its name to “FRX Innovations Inc.”, or such other name designated by FRX and that is acceptable to the regulatory authorities.

The Proposed Transaction will be an “Arm’s Length Transaction” (as defined in the policies of the TSXV).

FRX is the reverse takeover acquirer in the transaction and the shareholders of FRX and Finco and the subscribers for Subscription Receipts (as defined below) will have aggregate ownership of 97.5% of the Resulting Issuer.

In connection with the Proposed Transaction, G2G entered into a finder’s fee agreement dated August 10, 2021 with Triforce Ventures S.A. and Mancala Mercantile Ltd., company controlled by James Cassina, a shareholder and director of G2G (together, the “Finders“). In consideration for their services, subject to G2G disinterested shareholder approval and TSXV approval, G2G will issue to the Finders at closing of the Proposed Transaction 763,063 units of the Resulting Issuer (“Resulting Issuer Units“). Each of the Resulting Issuer Units will be comprised of one Resulting Issuer Share and one-half of one Resulting Issuer Share purchase warrant. Each whole Resulting Issuer Share purchase warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Resulting Issuer Share at an exercise price of CAD$1.15, for a period of two (2) years following the closing date of the Proposed Transaction. Triforce Ventures S.A. is an arm’s length party from G2G and Mancala Mercantile Ltd. (“Mancala“) is a non-arm’s length party from G2G. The Resulting Issuer Units to be received by Mancala constitutes a “related party transaction” as such term is defined by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“) under applicable securities laws. However, the Corporation is exempt from the MI 61-101 valuation and minority approval requirements for this transaction because the Corporation was not listed on a stock exchange specified in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 and the fair market value of the Resulting Issuer Units to be issued to Mancala will not exceed $2,500,000. Pursuant to TSXV policy, approval of the Resulting Issuer Units to be issued to Mancala is subject to disinterested shareholder approval at its upcoming shareholders’ meeting to be held on December 1, 2021.

Investors in the Private Placement (as defined below) will hold 13,000,000 Resulting Issuer Shares representing approximately 13.0% of the outstanding Resulting issuer Shares and the Finders will hold 763,063 Resulting Issuer Shares representing approximately 0.7% of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares.

The parties also anticipate that in conjunction with and upon closing of the Proposed Transaction, the Resulting Issuer’s board of directors will consist of no fewer than seven (7) directors, with six (6) directors (the “New Directors“), nominated by FRX and one (1) director nominated by G2G. The executive officers of the Resulting Issuer will be appointed by FRX and are expected to include Marc Lebel and Mark Lotz.

G2G expects to hold an annual general and special meeting of its shareholders on or about December 1, 2021, to put forth and nominate the New Directors, in addition to approve certain related matters in connection with the Proposed Transaction, including the consolidation of its shares and the issuance of the Resulting Issuer Units to the Finders. Following the Proposed Transaction and the Private Placement, each of Citic Capital, Evonik Venture Capital GmbH, and Triton Holdings LLC and will indirectly or directly own more than 10% of voting rights attached to shares of the Resulting Issuer. Other than as described herein, no party not acting at arm`s length with G2G has an interest in the Proposed Transaction.
