(TSXV:WOOD.P) has entered into a letter of intent dated December
20, 2019 (the "
LOI") with Jack Nathan Medical Inc.
("
Jack Nathan") to effect an arm's length
transaction that will result in the reverse takeover of WVI by Jack

existing under the federal laws of Canada and controlled by George
Barakat, Jack Nathan's CEO; and, First Wellington Securities Inc.
("First Wellington"), an entity existing under the
province of Ontario and controlled by Mike Marchelletta, President
of Jack Nathan.
The Transaction
The parties to the Transaction are at arm's
length and, as to the knowledge of the Corporation, no insider,
promoter or control person of the Corporation has any material
equity ownership or interest in Jack Nathan prior to giving effect
to the Transaction. As the Transaction is not a "Non-Arm's Length
Qualifying Transaction" (as such term is defined in TSXV Policy 2.4
- Capital Pool Companies), approval of the Corporation's
shareholders will not be required pursuant to the policies of the
TSXV.
There are currently an aggregate of 7,876,000
common shares in the capital of WVI (each, a "WVI Common
Share") issued and outstanding, as well as 787,600 stock
options and 487,600 broker warrants, each of which is exercisable
to acquire one WVI Common Share at an exercise price of $0.10 per
share. On or immediately prior to completion of the Transaction, it
is anticipated that WVI will effect a consolidation on the basis of
three (3) "old" WVI Common Shares to one "new" WVI Common Share
(subject to adjustments in certain circumstances (the
"Consolidation") resulting in approximately
2,625,333 post-Consolidation WVI Common Shares.
In connection with the Transaction, all
outstanding stock options and warrants of WVI will, on a
post-Consolidation basis, remain in effect on substantially the
same terms and in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.
Upon completion of the Transaction, it is
anticipated that existing securityholders of Jack Nathan will be
issued 50,000,000 post-Consolidation WVI Common Shares (the
"Resulting Issuer Common Shares") and 10,000,000
restricted voting shares (the "Resulting Issuer Restricted
Shares"). The Resulting Issuer Restricted Shares will not
carry the right to vote, will rank pari passu with the Resulting
Issuer Common Shares with respect to the payment of dividends and
distribution of assets on liquidation, and will be convertible at
the option of the holder into Resulting Issuer Common Shares on a
one-for-one basis subject to satisfaction of the public
distribution listing requirements of the Exchange.
Concurrent Financing
In connection with and prior to closing of the
Transaction, Jack Nathan proposes to complete a private placement
financing with a syndicate of agents led by PI Financial Corp. and
Regent Capital Partners Inc., and including Canaccord Genuity Corp.
and Eight Capital (together, the "Agents") of
approximately 11,200,000 subscription receipts (the
"Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.50 per
Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately
$5.6 million (the "Concurrent Financing").
Each Subscription Receipt will automatically convert into one unit
(a "Unit") of Jack Nathan on the satisfaction or
waiver of all conditions precedent to the Transaction and certain
other ancillary conditions customary for transactions of this
nature (collectively, the "Release
Conditions"), without the payment of additional
consideration or the taking of further action on the part of
the subscriber. Each Unit will be comprised of one common
share in the capital of Jack Nathan and one-half of one
non-transferable common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant,
a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder
thereof to acquire one common share in the capital of Jack Nathan
(each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.75 per
Warrant Share for a period of two years following the closing date
of the Concurrent Financing. If, for any consecutive 10
trading days following completion of the Transaction, the
volume-weighted average price of the Resulting Issuer Common Shares
is equal to or greater than $1.00, the Resulting Issuer may
accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice to the
holders and, in such case, the Warrants will expire on the
thirtieth day after the date of such notice.
The gross proceeds of the Concurrent Financing
(less the Agents’ expenses and 50% of the Commission, as defined
below) will be held in escrow pending the satisfaction of the
Release Conditions. In the event the event the Transaction does not
occur on the date that is 120 days following the final closing date
of the Concurrent Financing, the gross proceeds shall be returned
to the purchasers pro rata without any deduction or interest, and
the Subscription Receipts shall be automatically cancelled.
Upon completion of the Transaction, each common
share and Warrant of Jack Nathan issued pursuant to the Concurrent
Financing will automatically be exchanged for one Resulting Issuer
Common Share and one warrant of the Resulting Issuer (such warrants
to have the same terms as the Warrants) resulting in an effective
issue price of $0.50 per Resulting Issuer Common Share.
In connection with the Concurrent Financing, the
Agents will be entitled to a cash commission (the
"Commission") equal to 7% of the aggregate gross
proceeds raised in connection with the Concurrent Financing other
than Subscription Receipts sold to those persons set out on the
president’s list (the "President’s List"), which
shall be no greater than $2,500,000 of Subscription Receipts, and
3.5% of the gross proceeds realized in respect of the sale of
Subscription Receipts to persons identified on the President's
List. In addition, the Agents shall be issued non-transferrable
compensation options (each, a "Compensation
Option") exercisable for that number of common shares in
the capital of Jack Nathan equal to 7% of the number of
Subscription Receipts issued pursuant to the Concurrent Financing,
other than Subscription Receipts sold to those persons set out on
the President’s List, and 3.5% of the number of Subscription
Receipts sold to persons on the President's List, with each
Compensation Option exercisable into a common share at a price of
$0.50 per share for a period of 24 months from the closing date of
the Concurrent Financing. In connection with the Concurrent
Financing, the Agents will be entitled to a corporate finance fee
of $50,000, which shall be paid in cash and/or common shares in the
capital of Jack Nathan (the "Corporate Finance Fee
Shares") as agreed to by the Agents and Jack Nathan at a
deemed price equal to $0.50 per Corporate Finance Fee Share. In
connection with the closing of the Transaction, the Compensation
Options and Corporate Finance Fee Shares will be exchanged for like
securities of the Resulting Issuer.
The net proceeds of the Concurrent Financing,
after giving effect to the Transaction, are expected to be used by
the Resulting Issuer for corporate and general working capital
purposes.
