Mississauga, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – December 9, 2021) – 1290457 B.C. Ltd. (“129BC” or the “Company“) announces that it has entered into a binding agreement (the “Agreement“) dated December 6, 2021, with Clear Intradermal Technologies, Inc. (“ClearIT“) to complete a business combination by way of a transaction that will constitute a reverse takeover of the Company by ClearIT (the “Transaction“).

Summary of the Transaction

The Transaction will be structured as an amalgamation, arrangement, takeover bid, share purchase or other similar form of transaction or a series of transactions that have a similar effect with the Company acquiring all of the shares of common stock in the capital of ClearIT (“ClearIT Shares“). The final structure of the Transaction will be determined by the parties following receipt of tax, corporate and securities law advice. The Transaction is an arm’s length transaction. The resulting issuer that will exist upon completion of the Transaction (the “Resulting Issuer“) will change its business to the current business of ClearIT. The Resulting Issuer intends to apply for the listing of Adjusted 129BC Shares (as defined below) on a recognized Canadian stock exchange (the “Exchange“), subject to compliance with the applicable listing requirements of the Exchange and receiving the Exchange’s approval.

Description of ClearIT and its Business

ClearIT is developing the ERASER™ System, a medical device, which employs a novel, patented and patent pending, non-thermal technology for the treatment of aesthetic and medical skin conditions. The ERASER™ System is initially being developed and clinically evaluated for the healthful, pain-free, single treatment removal of unwanted or regretted tattoos, a market that is underserved by standards of care. Future medical applications for the ERASER™ System beyond tattoo removal are also under consideration. The ERASER™ System, when cleared by the US FDA and other international regulatory agencies for use, may generate a significantly enhanced treatment opportunity for the dermatology market and investment opportunity for ClearIT shareholders.

Share Adjustment and Exchange of Securities

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company will effect a consolidation or split (the “Share Adjustment“) of its issued and outstanding common shares (the “129BC Shares“, and following the Share Adjustment, the “Adjusted 129BC Shares“) prior to completion of the Transaction (the “Closing“), that results in the shareholders of the Company receiving shares that have a value of US$2.0 million (the “Shell Value“) based on the Seed Financing Price (as defined below). The Share Adjustment is subject to increase if ClearIT issues ClearIT Shares at a price that is less than the Seed Financing Price, in which case the number of Adjusted 129BC Shares resulting from the Share Adjustment shall be increased to that number of Adjusted 129BC Shares equal to the Shell Value divided by such lesser price.

In accordance with the terms of the Transaction, the holders of the issued and outstanding ClearIT Shares will be issued one (1) Adjusted 129BC Share or an economically equivalent number of Multiple Voting Shares (as defined below) (in each case, being shares of the Resulting Issuer) in exchange for every one (1) ClearIT Share held immediately prior to the Closing.

129BC Shareholder Approvals

Prior to the Closing, 129BC intends to diligently seek requisite shareholder approval by written consent (the “129BC Shareholder Approval“) to approve, among other things, (i) a change of its name to such name as may be requested by ClearIT and approved by the Exchange (the “Name Change“); (ii) the Share Adjustment; (iii) the creation of a new class of multiple voting shares (the “Multiple Voting Shares“), if determined necessary; (iv) the election of nominees of ClearIT (the “Clear Nominees“) to the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer conditional upon the completion of the Transaction; (v) the Transaction or a component thereof (as may be required or as appropriate in lieu of one or more of the foregoing); and (vi) such other matters as ClearIT may reasonably request in connection with the Transaction.

ClearIT Financings

Seed Financing

As part of, and as a condition to the Closing, ClearIT will complete one or more private placements of ClearIT Shares to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to US$10,000,000 (the “Seed Financing“), and, as part of the Seed Financing, expects to close an initial tranche (the “Initial Seed Financing“) as soon as reasonably practical following the date hereof for gross proceeds of a minimum of US$2,500,000 at a price of US$0.7558 per share (the “Seed Financing Price“).

Subscription Receipt Financing

During the period commencing 120 days after the completion of the Initial Seed Financing, ClearIT directly or through a newly formed special purpose financing vehicle (“Finco“), will complete a brokered private placement (the “Subscription Receipt Financing” and, together with the Seed Financing, the “ClearIT Financings“) of subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts“) to be led by one or more appointed agents (the “Agents“) at a price per Subscription Receipt (the “Issue Price“) to be determined in the context of the market for targeted gross proceeds of a minimum of US$25,000,000. Each Subscription Receipt would be convertible, for no additional consideration, into one (1) common share of Finco (each a “Finco Share“), which Finco Shares shall be exchanged at no additional consideration for Adjusted 129BC Shares or Multiple Voting Shares (as applicable) by way of (a) an amalgamation among the Company and Finco; (b) a share exchange transaction between the Company and the holders of Finco Shares; or (c) an amalgamation transaction with similar effect. Subject to market conditions at the time of pricing the Subscription Receipt Financing, instead of Finco Shares, the Subscription Receipts may be convertible into units (“Finco Units“) comprised of Finco Shares and warrants (“Finco Warrants“) exercisable to acquire Finco Shares on the terms and conditions to be determined in the context of the market. In addition, compensation options (“Compensation Options“) to acquire either Finco Shares or Finco Units may be issued on the terms and conditions to be determined in the context of the market.

Closing Conditions

In addition to the completion of matters discussed herein, the completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of customary conditions, including: (a) receipt of all required consents or approvals, including Exchange listing approval; (ii) completion of the Transaction on or before June 30, 2022, or such other date as may be agreed upon by the parties; (iii) no prohibition at law existing for completion of the Transaction; (iv) escrow agreements being entered into pursuant to the policies of the Exchange; (v) approval of the Transaction and all matters related thereto require to be approved by the shareholders of 129BC and ClearIT; (vi) the representation and warranties of each of 129BC and ClearIT being true and correct as of the date of the Closing; and (vii) no material adverse change of each of 129BC and ClearIT.

Management and Board of the Resulting Issuer

Upon the Closing, all of 129BC’s current directors and executive officers will resign and the board of directors and executive officers of the Resulting Issuer will be comprised of the nominees of ClearIT.
