DLS DealNet Capital Corp

Dealnet Capital Corp. ("Dealnet" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: DLS) reminds shareholders to tender their Dealnet common shares (the “Common Shares”) by October 14, 2020 to the premium cash offer of $0.16 per Common Share (the “Offer”) from Simply Group Acquisition Corp. (“Simply Green”) which commenced on September 9, 2020 through the mailing of a take-over bid circular to Dealnet shareholders.

The Offer represents a premium of 33% to the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”) on August 21, 2020 (the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Offer), a premium of 52% to the 30-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) on the TSX-V for the period ending August 21, 2020 and a premium of 93% to the 90-day VWAP on the TSX-V for the period ending August 21, 2020.

“The Offer to acquire Dealnet represents full and fair value for Dealnet shareholders and offers a significant premium compared to the price the Common Shares were trading at just a few months ago. We are pleased with the initial expressions of support the Offer has received from shareholders,” said Harold Bridge, Chairman of Dealnet. “The musings regarding Dealnet’s value from a dissident shareholder fly in the face of overwhelming evidence including a fairness opinion from a reputable investment bank. Given that Dealnet’s Common Shares have not traded above the Offer price, the market supports our view that the Offer represents a full and fair premium. Notwithstanding the successful turnaround of the business, there is significant risk that the Common Shares could return to their historical low trading prices if the Offer is not supported.”

As detailed in Dealnet’s directors’ circular dated September 9, 2020, the Company conducted an extensive review of strategic alternatives involving 53 potential purchasers. The Company received three en-bloc bids. Simply Green’s bid was the highest at each step of the process and was increased three times to the Offer level announced on August 24, 2020.

The Company notes that a dissident shareholder continues to make a number of baseless, inaccurate and misleading assertions and ad hominem attacks regarding Dealnet and its leadership. The Company is focused on completing the transaction with Simply Green and will not be responding to this dissident at this time, but reserves the right to do so in the future.
