SelectCore Ltd. ("SelectCore" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SCG) is pleased to
announce that it has entered into a cooperation agreement with Radix Limited, a
company existing under the laws of St. Lucia ("Radix") in which Kevin Taylor, a
director of the Company, will have an equity interest, for the purpose of making
available to Radix the Company's expertise, technology, infrastructure and other
resources with a view to developing a market for the Company's stored-value card
and payment solutions in certain Caribbean, Central American and South American
countries (the "Territory"). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has granted
to Radix a license to use certain trademarks of the Company for the purpose of
developing new business in the Territory. The agreement is for an initial term
of five years and is renewable on a yearly basis thereafter.
The parties have already ascertained a pipeline of significant card program
opportunities in the Territory and will be in a position to publicly disclose
such opportunities as definitive agreements are executed.
"Given Kevin's extensive experience, contacts and market knowledge in the
region, we are excited about the current and future opportunities that will
drive significant growth for the Company" commented Keith McKenzie, CEO of
SelectCore.
The entering into of the cooperation agreement is considered a related party
transaction under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and Multilateral
Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions
("MI 61-101") and the transactions contemplated by the agreements may be
considered "connected transactions" within the meaning of MI 61-101. In that
regard, the Company is relying on the exemption from the formal valuation
requirement set out in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 and on the exemption from the
minority approval requirement set out in section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101, including
on the basis that the transactions contemplated by the agreements may be
"connected transactions". The cooperation agreement was approved by all of the
independent directors of the Company.
