Vesta Capital Corp. ("Vesta" or the "Company"), (TSX VENTURE:VES.P) a capital
pool company, announced today that it has agreed to a non-brokered private
placement offering (the "Offering") of up to 2,500,000 common shares of the
Company (the "Common Shares") at a price of $0.20 per Common Share for gross
proceeds of up to Cdn.$500,0000. The Common Shares to be issued will carry a
four-month hold period under Canadian securities laws from the date of issuance.
Vesta will pay a finder's fee to PowerOne Capital Markets Limited ("PowerOne")
equal to 10 percent of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering.
Of the Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the Offering, an aggregate of
2,000,000 Common Shares (the "Pinetree Shares") will be taken up by Pinetree
Income Partnership ("Pinetree"), an arm's length party to the Corporation. As
the Pinetree Shares will constitute approximately 32% of the issued and
outstanding capital of the Corporation after the Offering is completed and
Pinetree will become a control person of the Company, the Pinetree Shares will
be subject to an escrow agreement (the "Escrow Agreement"). Pinetree is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Pinetree Capital Ltd. which owns 50% of the issued and
outstanding shares in the capital of PowerOne.
Under the Escrow Agreement, 10% of the Pinetree Shares will be released from
escrow on the issuance of the TSX Venture Exchange Bulletin which is issued
following closing of the Corporation's qualifying transaction (the "Initial
Release") and an additional 15% will be released on the dates 6 months, 12
months, 18 months, 24 months, 30 months and 36 months following the Initial
Release. Additional information regarding the terms and conditions of the Escrow
Agreement can be found in the Corporation's prospectus which is available for
viewing under the Corporation's profile on the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com).
Closing of the Offering is conditional on TSX Venture Exchange approval and
shareholder approval which the Corporation will obtain by way of written consent
from shareholders owning in the aggregate 50.1% of the current issued and
outstanding shares in the capital of the Corporation.
Proceeds from the Offering will be used for general working capital purposes.
