OPENSESAME PROVIDES UPDATE ON THE TERMS OF THE
SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPT OFFERING
Opensesame Acquisition Corp. has provided an update on its
proposed business combination with Vector Science and Therapeutics Inc.,
which is intended to be the company's qualifying transaction (as such term is defined in Policy 2.4
Capital Pool Companies of the TSX Venture Exchange Corporate Finance
Manual).
In connection with the transaction, Opensesame U.S. Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of
the company, is conducting an offering of subscription receipts at a price
of 10 cents per subscription receipt, for minimum aggregate proceeds of $2-million and maximum
aggregate proceeds of $3-million.
As previously announced on Oct. 6, 2025, pursuant to the terms of the transaction, the company will
acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Vector, which will constitute an arm's-length reverse
takeover transaction of the company.
Details of the transaction
Pursuant to an acquisition agreement to be entered among the company, Vector and Open U.S., the company will acquire all of the currently 11,585,538 issued and
outstanding shares of Class A common stock in the capital of Vector and
outstanding share purchase warrants to acquire 5,971,973 Vector shares from the
shareholders of Vector in exchange for the issuance of common shares of the company and warrants to acquire company shares. To effect the proposed
transaction, it is intended that Open U.S. will merge with and into Vector, with Vector being the surviving
entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the company. As part of the merger,
the holders of Vector shares will exchange their Vector shares and Vector warrants for company shares
and company warrants on the basis of 10 company shares and warrants for each one Vector share and
warrant. Following the completion of the transaction, it is intended that Vector (after giving effect to the
merger) will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the company and the company will continue the
business of Vector.
As part of the transaction, the company intends to change its name to Vector Science and Therapeutics
Corp., or such other name as determined by Vector and acceptable to applicable regulators. As used herein,
resulting issuer refers to the company following the completion of the transaction.
Details of the offering
The gross proceeds from the offering will be held in escrow pending, among other things, receipt of the
approval from the TSX-V for the listing of the common shares of the resulting issuer
(contemplated by this offering) on the TSX-V. Farris LLP will act as escrow agent in connection with the
offering. Upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions set out in the subscription agreement for
the offering on or before June 30, 2026 (as such deadline may be extended in accordance with the terms
and conditions of a subscription receipt escrow agreement to be entered into between Open U.S. and Farris
LLP), each subscription receipt will automatically convert into a unit of Open U.S. on a 1:1 basis
and the proceeds from the offering will be released from escrow to Open U.S. Each unit will consist of one
common share of Open U.S. and one common share purchase warrant, with each warrant exercisable into one additional Open U.S. share until
June 27, 2028, at a price of 25 cents per warrant share.
The subscription receipts will be subject to a statutory indefinite hold period in Canada. The securities of
the resulting issuer issued upon exchange of the Open U.S. shares and the warrants will not be subject to
any statutory hold or restricted period.
Subject to applicable securities laws and TSX-V approval, the company may pay a finder's fee or
commission, which may include cash and/or warrants to certain persons, subject to securities laws and
exchange approval. For certainty, no finder's fee will be payable in respect of subscription receipts sold
pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the U.S. Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D to a finder who is not
registered as a broker-dealer under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
applicable state securities laws, or unless such finder is exempt from such registration requirements.
Company shareholder approval
The transaction is not a non-arm's-length qualifying transaction (as defined in the Policy 2.4) and,
accordingly, the company is not required to obtain the approval of its shareholders for the transaction.
The merger will require approval of the shareholders of Vector.
Conditions precedent and TSX-V matters
Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, execution
of the acquisition agreement, completion by the parties of satisfactory due diligence, satisfaction by the
parties of all applicable filing and listing requirements pursuant to Policy 2.4, closing of the offering and
acceptance and receipt of all applicable regulatory, corporate and shareholder approvals, including the
approval of the TSX-V. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as proposed or at
all.
Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the filing statement to be submitted to the TSX-V and
filed under the company's profile at SEDAR+ in connection with the transaction, any information
released or received with respect to the transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be
relied upon. Trading in the securities of a capital pool company should be considered highly speculative.
