NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
CALGARY, Alberta, Jan. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roosevelt Capital Group Inc. ("Roosevelt") (TSXV: ROSV), a capital pool company, and Cloud DX, Inc. ("Cloud DX"), a leading provider of virtual care and remote patient monitoring solutions, are pleased to announce further details concerning the concurrent brokered private placement and additional updates on Roosevelt's proposed arm's length qualifying transaction (the "Transaction"), which were previously announced on May 1, 2020 and October 16, 2020.
Brokered Private Placement
Cloud DX has engaged Haywood Securities Inc. ("Haywood") and Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. (together with Haywood, the "Co-Lead Agents"), as co-lead agents on behalf of a syndicate of agents including INFOR Financial Inc. and Mackie Research Capital Corporation (the "Agents"), to act as agents on a "commercially reasonable efforts" basis in connection with a private placement offering of up to 10,000,000 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.50 per Subscription Receipt (the "Offering Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $5,000,000 (the "Offering"). The Offering will be completed through 12632926 Canada Ltd., a newly-created affiliate of Cloud DX ("Cloud FinCo") formed for the purposes of participating in the Offering and the Transaction.
The Agents have been granted an option (the "Agents' Option") to offer for sale up to 1,500,000 additional Subscription Receipts, on the same terms and conditions. The Agents' Option will be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Offering.
Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to receive, without payment of any additional consideration or further action on the part of the holder, one unit of Cloud FinCo (a "Unit"). Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of Cloud FinCo (a "FinCo Share") and one-half of one transferable FinCo Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one FinCo Share (a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price equal to $0.65 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions and conversion of the Subscription Receipts in connection with the closing of the Transaction.
The Offering is being completed in conjunction with the Transaction, pursuant to which Roosevelt (the "Resulting Issuer") will acquire, directly and indirectly, all of the shares of Cloud DX in exchange for post-consolidation common shares of Roosevelt (the "Resulting Issuer Shares"). In connection with closing of the Transaction, all of the FinCo Shares and Warrants comprising the Units issued upon the conversion of the Subscription Receipts will be exchanged for Resulting Issuer Shares and transferable common share purchase warrants of the Resulting Issuer ("Resulting Issuer Warrants"), respectively, on a one for one basis in each case. The Resulting Issuer Warrants will have the same terms and conditions as the Warrants, including an exercise price of $0.65 per underlying Resulting Issuer Share, except they will entitle the holders thereof to purchase Resulting Issuer Shares in lieu of FinCo Shares.
Subscription funds received in connection with the Offering, less certain fees and expenses, will be held in escrow pending satisfaction of certain release conditions, such as the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the completion of the Transaction and the receipt of all required shareholder and regulatory approvals related to the Transaction (including, without limitation, conditional approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") of the Transaction and the listing of the Resulting Issuer Shares). In the event that the escrow release conditions are not satisfied on or prior to the date that is 120 days after the closing of the Offering, the escrowed subscription funds will be returned to subscribers in accordance with the terms of the subscription receipt agreement governing the Subscription Receipts.
Cloud FinCo has agreed pay the Agents a cash commission of 8.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering (50% of which commission will be paid on the closing of the Offering and the remaining 50% of which commission will be deposited in escrow). Further, Cloud FinCo will issue to the Agents non-transferable broker warrants (each a "Broker Warrant") equal to 8.0% of the aggregate number of Subscription Receipts sold under the Offering. Each Broker Warrant will be exercisable at the Offering Price for a period of 24 months following satisfaction of the escrow release conditions. Cash consideration will be reduced to 3.0% for President's List subscriptions, and the number of Broker Warrants issued to the Co-Lead Agents will be reduced to 3.0% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold to President's List subscribers.
The net proceeds from the Offering are intended to be used for expansion of U.S. sales and marketing, scale up of Canadian operations, and the costs required to complete the Transaction.
The securities to be issued under the Offering will be offered by way of private placement in (i) certain of the provinces of Canada, (ii) the United States and (iii) such other jurisdictions as may be determined by Cloud FinCo, in each case, pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws. The Units to be issued under the Offering will be subject to an indefinite hold period under applicable securities laws. Upon completion of the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer Shares will not be subject to any statutory hold periods under applicable securities laws. The listing of the Resulting Issuer Shares remains subject to approval by the Exchange.

Pursuant to the Arrangement:
- Cloud FinCo will purchase all of the issued and outstanding Cloud Shares, including Cloud Shares issued upon conversion of the Cloud Notes, in exchange for FinCo Shares on a basis of 22.3783 Finco Shares for each Cloud Share, following which Cloud DX will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cloud FinCo and all of the current shareholders of Cloud DX will become shareholders of Cloud FinCo on a proportionate ownership basis;
- Roosevelt, Cloud FinCo, and a newly formed Canadian subsidiary of Roosevelt ("Amalco") will complete a three-cornered amalgamation, pursuant to which Amalco and Cloud FinCo will amalgamate and exist as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Roosevelt, and each issued and outstanding FinCo Share will be exchanged for Resulting Issuer Shares on a one for one basis ("Exchange Ratio"). The Warrants will be exchanged for Resulting Issuer Warrants, having equivalent terms and conditions.
The Arrangement will be subject to various closing conditions, including receipt of court approval and Cloud FinCo shareholder approval.
In conjunction with the Arrangement, certain other securities of Cloud DX and Cloud FinCo, including the Broker Warrants issued in connection with the Offering, shall be exchanged for securities of the Resulting Issuer having equivalent terms and conditions.
