TORONTO, June 8, 2020 /CNW/ - The Real Brokerage Inc.
(formerly, ADL Ventures Inc.) (TSXV: AVI.P) ("TRB" or
the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has closed
its previously announced Qualifying Transaction, as such term is
defined under Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies (the
"Policy") of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"
or "TSXV"), consisting of the acquisition of all of the
issued and outstanding securities of Real Technology Broker Ltd.
("Real"), a private company incorporated under the laws of
Israel.
Real, is a technology driven national real estate brokerage
platform primarily operating in the
United States through a network of approximately 1,100
agents. Real has a unique operational model providing teams and
agents freedom, flexibility, success tools, long term security and
a sense of community to build their reputations and professional
assets with the help of a leading edge digital platform built from
the ground up for their success.
The Qualifying Transaction
As previously announced on March 12,
2020, the Company entered into a definitive Securities
Exchange Agreement dated March 5,
2020 (the "SEA"). In connection with the Qualifying
Transaction, TRB common shares (each a "TRB Share") were
issued to holders of shares of Real on the basis of 1.0083 ADL
Shares for every one common share of Real (the "Exchange
Ratio"), giving effect to a deemed value of $0.25 per TRB Share. Outstanding stock options of
Real were rolled over or exchanged at closing for stock options of
the Company at the Exchange Ratio (the "Transaction").
On completion of the Transaction, the shareholders of Real hold
approximately 92% of the issued and outstanding shares of TRB and
previous shareholders of TRB own approximately 8.0% of the issued
and outstanding shares of TRB on a non-diluted basis not including
shares issuable on the ADL Private Placement (as defined below).
Conditional approval from the TSXV with respect to the Qualifying
Transaction was obtained on May 13,
2020. TRB filed a filing statement dated May 26, 2020 in connection with the transaction
and is available under TRB's profile at www.sedar.com.
Final acceptance of the Qualifying Transaction will occur upon
the issuance of the Final Exchange Bulletin (the "Exchange
Bulletin") by the TSXV. Subject to final acceptance by the
TSXV, TRB will no longer be a capital pool company and will be
classified as Tier 1 pursuant to the TSXV policies and its common
shares ("TRB Shares") are expected to commence trading on
the TSXV during the week of June 8,
2020 under the ticker symbol "REAX". TRB will issue a news
release once the TSXV issues the Exchange Bulletin and will then
advise of the expected listing date. TRB will continue on the
business of Real.

Concurrently with the completion of the Transaction, the Company
completed a private placement financing of approximately
US$1,600,000 in subscription receipts
(the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of US$0.0765 per Subscription Receipt (the
"Private Placement"). The Subscription Receipts
automatically exercised into TRB Shares upon completion of the
Qualifying Transaction. The TRB Shares are subject to a six month
hold period from the date of closing of the Private Placement
comprised of a 4 month regulatory hold period plus an additional
two month hold period based on contractual lock-up commitments of
the subscribers.

Pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement among TRB,

shareholders of TRB, TRB Shares will be placed in escrow, to be
released in tranches over 18 months after the issuance of the
