VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rebel Capital Inc. (“Rebel” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV: RBL.P), a capital pool company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”), today announced that DLC Pittsburgh Data Center 1 LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rebel, had entered into an second amendment agreement (“Second Amendment”) to the definitive purchase and sale agreement dated July 11, 2019 for the proposed acquisition of a property (the “Property”) located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania containing a 91,790 square foot data center with a three-storey connected 43,800 square foot office property on an approximately 7.65 acre site (the “Proposed Transaction”).

As previously noted in the Corporation’s press releases dated July 11, 2019 and August 26, 2019, the Proposed Transaction is intended to constitute Rebel’s “Qualifying Transaction” in accordance with TSXV Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies. 

The Second Amendment extends the deadline for satisfaction of the conditions precedent following the property due diligence period from September 30, 2019 to October 30, 2019.

The closing date for the Proposed Transaction remains unchanged and will be no earlier than January 2, 2020 and no later than January 10, 2020.

It is intended that, in connection with the closing of the Proposed Transaction, Springhurst Capital Holdings Inc. (“SCHI”) will amalgamate with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rebel (“Rebel Subco”) (the “Amalgamation”). The Amalgamation will be structured as a three-cornered amalgamation. Pursuant to the Amalgamation, the common shares of SCHI will be exchanged for common shares in the capital of Rebel based on an exchange ratio to be agreed upon by Rebel and SCHI and in accordance with the terms of the amalgamation agreement to be entered into by SCHI, Rebel and Rebel Subco.

The extension provided for in the Second Amendment will allow SCHI to continue advancing its previously announced $35 million “best efforts” brokered private placement of subscription receipts (the “Concurrent Financing”), which is being co-led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. The net proceeds of the Concurrent Financing will be used primarily to fund the purchase price for the Property, as well as to pay the expenses of the Concurrent Financing and for general working capital purposes.
