Further to its bulletin dated Aug. 28, 2024, the Toronto Stock Exchange reports that FG Acquisition Corp. and its sponsors, FGAC Investors LLC and CG Investors VII Inc., entered into a qualifying transaction agreement on May 3, 2024, with Strong Global
Entertainment Inc. and Strong/MDI Screen Systems
Inc. (MDI). Pursuant to the transaction, FG Acquisition acquired all of the equity interest of MDI and changed its name to Saltire Capital Ltd.
According to the TSX, the Class A restricted voting shares of FG Acquisition, unless previously redeemed,
converted on a one-to-one basis into common
shares of Saltire. Saltire became the successor to FG Acquisition under
the warrant agreement (as defined below), and each
outstanding FG Acquisition warrant continues and remains
outstanding as a warrant, and entitles the holder to
acquire, for payment of the exercise price, one
common share of Saltire.
The qualifying transaction closed on Sept. 25, 2024, and constituted Saltire's
qualifying acquisition under Part X of the TSX
company manual.
The TSX reports that Saltire common shares and warrants will be listed and posted for trading on the TSX at the open on Sept. 30, 2024. There will be 5,259,068 common shares and 10.1 million warrants issued and outstanding, with 11.6 million common shares reserved for issuance. The common shares will trade under the symbol SLT.U, in U.S. dollars and with Cusip No. 795927 10 2, and the warrants will trade under the symbol SLT.WT.U, in U.S. dollars and with Cusip No. 795927 11 0. The Class A shares and warrants of FG Acquisition will be halted at the open on Sept. 30, 2024, and delisted at the close on the same day.
According to the TSX, Saltire is a long-term capital partner that intends
to invest in equity, debt and/or hybrid securities of
private companies.
It is intended that investments made by Saltire in
portfolio companies will consist of meaningful and
influential stakes in carefully selected private
companies that the manager believes are undervalued, and target assets and businesses with high
barriers to entry, predictable revenue streams and
cash flows, and defensive characteristics, with a view
to significantly improve the fundamental value of such
portfolio companies over the long term.
The payment of cash dividends will be
dependent upon Saltire's revenues and earnings, if
any, capital requirements, and general financial
condition, and will be at the discretion of Saltire's board at that time. Saltire's transfer agent and registrar is TSX Trust Company at its principal office in Toronto, and its fiscal year-end is Dec. 31. The designated market-maker is Integral Wealth Securities Ltd.
As a result of the completion of the qualifying
transaction, each Saltire warrant will be exercisable
for one common share commencing 65 days
following closing of the qualifying transaction. Each Saltire warrant will be exercisable for one common share at $11.50 (U.S.) per share. The warrants will expire at 5 p.m. Toronto time on
Sept. 25, 2029 (the day that is five years following
closing of the qualifying transaction) or may expire
earlier if the expiry date is accelerated.
Saltire may accelerate the expiry date of
the outstanding warrants by providing 30 days of
notice if, and only if, the closing price of the
Saltire common shares equals or exceeds $18 (U.S.) per
common share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading
days within a 30-trading day period, in which case
the expiry date shall be the date that is 30 days
following the date on which such notice is
provided.
The TSX notes that the warrants are governed by the terms of the
warrant agreement dated April 5, 2022, between
FG Acquisition and TSX Trust Company, as supplemented by
the supplemental warrant agreement dated Aug. 10, 2023. The
warrant agreement provides for appropriate
adjustments to the rights of warrantholders in the
event of stock splits or combinations, stock dividends,
extraordinary dividends, reorganizations, and
recapitalizations.
