Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 25, 2021) – Lords & Company Worldwide Holdings Inc. (CSE: LRDS) (OTCQB: PACRF) (FSE: 4XM) (formally Pac Roots Cannabis Corp.) ("Lords" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the signing of a letter of intent with LORDS OF GASTOWN MOTORCYCLE COMPANY INC ., a company existing under the laws of British Columbia ("Gastown") pursuant to which the Company proposes to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of Gastown in consideration of the issuance of common shares of the Company for a value to be determined based on a third-party valuation.
Gastown is a well-established Cannabis Motorcycle lifestyle cannabis and apparel brand with a tremendous following and acumen that spawned from the vision of Tyler Hazelwood, founder, and director of Lords of Gastown. The acquisition is subject to the completion of the aforementioned independent valuation report, due diligence, completion of audited financials, execution of definitive agreements on or before January 31, 2022, and regulatory approval is expected to be completed prior to year-end. The Company will provide further updates regarding the transaction and its terms upon the execution of a definitive agreement.
Lords also announces that in order to better finance the Company, the Board of Directors have approved and authorized a consolidation of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares on a two old shares for one new share (2:1) basis (the "Consolidation"), consolidating its 87,027,899 currently outstanding shares to 45,513,950 shares.
The Consolidation is subject to the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange. The post-Consolidation common shares of the Company will have a new CUSIP and ISIN number.
The Company will not be issuing fractional shares as a result of the Consolidation. Instead, all fractional shares equal or greater to one‐half will be rounded to the next whole share. The Company's outstanding stock options will be adjusted upon completion of the Consolidation.
A letter of transmittal will be sent to the registered shareholders providing instructions to surrender the share certificates evidencing their pre‐consolidated common shares for replacement certificates representing the number of post‐consolidated common shares they are entitled to as a result of the Consolidation. Until surrendered, each certificate representing the pre‐consolidated common shares will be deemed to represent the number of post‐consolidated common shares of the Company that the holder thereof is entitled to as a result of the Consolidation.
The Company's previously announced private placement of units (see press release dated November 9, 2021), will proceed on a pre-Consolidation basis, provided that if the Consolidation is completed in advance of the placement, the units will be adjusted for the Consolidation.
