(“Keek”), a private Ontario corporation, announced today that they have entered into an arm’s length letter of intent dated November 15, 2013 (the “LOI”). Keek is a private global social video company that enables its users to create up to a 36 second video message (a “keek”) and share it with the Keek community. Description of the Transaction The LOI contemplates Primary acquiring all of the outstanding shares of Keek in exchange for shares of Primary on a one-for-one basis. The transaction would be accounted for as reverse take-over of Primary by Keek under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). Primary’s core business would become the business of Keek and Primary would change its name to “Keek Inc.”. The LOI contemplates Primary and Keek entering into a definitive agreement prior to December 16, 2013, to complete an amalgamation, plan of arrangement, take-over bid, reorganization or similar transaction (the “Proposed Transaction”). The LOI may be terminated by either party in certain circumstances, including if the definitive agreement is not executed prior to December 23, 2013. In accordance with the Proposed Transaction, Primary is expected to issue approximately 175 million Primary shares (“Primary Shares”) in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Keek. As a result, there is expected to be approximately 322 million Primary Shares outstanding upon completion of the Proposed Transaction. The Keek shareholders will own approximately 54% of the outstanding Primary Shares (non-diluted) following completion of the Proposed Transaction. A number of conditions need to be met before Primary and Keek can complete the proposed transaction, including but not limited to: the completion of due diligence, entering into a definitive agreement to merge, the approval of the Exchange for the change of business, obtaining the necessary shareholder approvals of both Primary and Keek shareholders, as well as other applicable regulatory authorities. Primary has agreed to provide Keek with interim financing, subject to Exchange acceptance, as follows: (i) a $600,000 six month senior secured convertible debentures bearing interest at 12% per annum payable in arrears which will be advanced on November 19, 2013; (ii) an additional $1,000,000 debenture on the same terms, which will be advanced upon the signing of the definitive agreement; and (iii) an additional $1,000,000 debenture on the same terms, which would be advanced upon Primary’s receipt of the Exchange’s consent to mail its information circular to the Primary shareholders in connection with approvals sought for the Proposed Transaction. In addition to approximately $15 million of working capital that Primary will have at the time of closing, it is currently anticipated the parties intend to secure additional equity financing by way of a private placement, which will be completed concurrently with the completion of the Proposed Transaction. The proceeds from the equity raise are expected to be used for ongoing operations and continued growth to the Keek community of users. About Keek Inc.
