ENGINEERING.com Incorporated (TSX VENTURE:EGN), a digital media company that
informs, inspires and engages engineers, today announced its unaudited financial
results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013 and that it has approved,
subject to shareholder and regulatory approval, a proposal (the "Proposal") by
Frank Baldesarra ("Baldesarra"), a director and the Chief Executive Officer,
Secretary and Treasurer of the Corporation, to take ENGINEERING.com private by
way of a share consolidation.
Third Quarter 2013 Results
Revenue was $495,031 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and
$1,369,260 for the year-to-date, compared to revenue of $383,485 for the third
quarter and $1,437,075 for the first nine months of 2012.
Operating loss (EBITDA) measured as earnings before interest, taxes,
amortization and stock-based compensation, was ($7,760) for the third quarter of
2013 and ($33,744) for the year-to-date, compared with an operating loss of
($56,780) for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 and ($67,533) for
the first nine months of 2012.
The operating expenses in the latest quarter were $308,756 compared to $263,408
in the third quarter a year earlier and $894,401 for year-to-date, compared to
$857,577 for the first nine months of 2012.
The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2013, totaled ($11,239)
and $0.00 per Common Share and ($45,229) and $0.00 per Common Share for the
September 30, 2013 year-to-date. These results are compared to a net loss of
($63,634) and $0.00 per Common Share for the third quarter of 2012 and ($90,627)
and $0.00 per Common Share for the first nine months of 2012.
As at September 30, 2013, the Company had a cash balance of $223,560 compared to
a cash balance of $231,196 as at December 31, 2012.
Going Private Transaction
Under the Proposal, the going private transaction will be accomplished through
the consolidation of ENGINEERING.com's issued and outstanding Common Shares. The
Proposal contemplates the consolidation of the Common Shares on the basis of one
new common share for each 350,000 Common Shares now outstanding (the
"Consolidation). Those shareholders who would otherwise have been entitled to
receive fractional shares will instead be paid $0.03 in cash per Common Share
held by them prior to the consolidation (the "Consolidation Price"), and
Baldesarra, together with those shareholders of ENGINEERING.com who held at
least 350,000 Common Shares prior to the Consolidation, will be the only
shareholders of ENGINEERING.com following the Consolidation.
The Consolidation Price represents a 100% premium to the volume-weighted average
closing price of ENGINEERING.com's Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange for
the 30 trading days ended November 8, 2013, and a 126% premium to the
volume-weighted average closing price of ENGINEERING.com's Common Shares on the
TSX Venture Exchange for the 52 weeks ended November 8, 2013. The Consolidation
is subject to the approval of 2/3 of the Common Shares voted at
ENGINEERING.com's upcoming special meeting of shareholders scheduled to occur on
December 19, 2013 at 10:00 am at the Company's offices at 5285 Solar Drive in
Mississauga (the "Meeting") as well as the approval of a majority of the votes
cast by minority shareholders at the Meeting pursuant to the requirements of
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in
Special Transactions.
Baldesarra, who owns or controls approximately 52.3% of the outstanding Common
Shares, and his associates and affiliates, and members of management and the
directors of ENGINEERING.com, who collectively own or control 19.4% of the
outstanding Common Shares, have advised ENGINEERING.com that they intend to vote
all of their Common Shares in favour of the Consolidation.
The board of directors of ENGINEERING.com established an independent special
committee to review the Consolidation and the Proposal and engaged Industrial
Alliance Securities Inc. to provide a fairness opinion in relation to the
Consolidation Price (the "Fairness Opinion"). The special committee recommended
to ENGINEERING.com's board of directors that the Consolidation be approved. The
Fairness Opinion will be attached to ENGINEERING.com's management information
circular for the Meeting, which will be available under ENGINEERING.com's
profile at www.sedar.com.
Subject to the approval of the Consolidation at the Meeting and the acceptance
of the TSX Venture Exchange, ENGINEERING.com intends to file articles of
amendment to effect the Consolidation. Once the Consolidation is completed,
ENGINEERING.com intends to apply to have its Common Shares delisted from the TSX
Venture Exchange and intends to apply to cease to be a reporting issuer with the
applicable securities regulatory authorities.
ENGINEERING.com proposes to complete the going private transaction in order to
eliminate the financial burden of continuing as a reporting issuer.
ENGINEERING.com believes that the anticipated time, costs and regulatory
requirements that are entailed in meeting the legal obligations to public
shareholders cannot be justified in view of its present circumstances, including
very low trading volumes and a limited number of public shareholders.
