Yubba Capital to acquire Ruckify in RTO as QT

2021-10-04 13:24 ET - News Release

Mr. Brian Morales reports

YUBBA AND RUCKIFY ENTER INTO BINDING LETTER OF INTENT TO COMPLETE QUALIFYING TRANSACTION

Yubba Capital Corp. and Ruckify Inc. have entered into a binding letter of intent dated Oct. 2, 2021, which outlines the terms and conditions pursuant to which Yubba and Ruckify will complete a transaction that will result in a reverse takeover of Yubba by Ruckify. The proposed transaction will be an arm's-length transaction and, if completed, will constitute Yubba's qualifying transaction (as such term is defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange).

Immediately prior to the closing of the proposed transaction, Ruckify intends to complete its proposed arm's-length acquisition of Fat Llama Inc. by way of a reverse triangular merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Ruckify with and into Fat Llama, pursuant to the terms of a merger agreement dated Sept. 14, 2021, between Ruckify, Ruckify Subco Inc. and Fat Llama. Fat Llama will be the surviving corporation following such merger and, as a result, will become a wholly owned operating subsidiary of Ruckify. Pursuant to the terms of the Fat Llama merger agreement: (i) each issued and outstanding share of common stock and preferred stock of Fat Llama (other than shares held by Fat Llama shareholders who demanded and perfected appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and not effectively withdrawn or forfeited prior to the closing of the Fat Llama acquisition) will be automatically cancelled and converted into 1.841 fully paid and non-assessable common shares in the capital of Ruckify; and (ii) each Fat Llama option outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Fat Llama acquisition will be automatically cancelled in exchange for an option to purchase 1.841 Ruckify shares for each share of Fat Llama common stock issuable pursuant to such Fat Llama option.

About Ruckify Inc.

Founded in Ottawa, Canada, in 2017, Ruckify's peer-to-peer rent anything marketplace provides a platform that enables Ruckify users to monetize their assets while, at the same time, leveraging the sharing economy to rent items and minimize what they own, avoiding investment in depreciating assets. Ruckify provides its users with the freedom to do what they want when they want without the restrictions of time, storage, price or availability. In doing so, Ruckify supports sustainability by providing people the means to optimize the use of thousands of items within their communities.

To accelerate its growth, Ruckify identified Fat Llama, the leading rent anything marketplace in the United Kingdom, as a strategic acquisition target. Ruckify expects that Fat Llama's advanced technology and proven business model will provide the foundation upon which it can more effectively operate its marketplace. Ruckify and Fat Llama expect that by working together as one, the merged entity can rapidly expand into new markets and become the global rent anything marketplace leader.

Proposed transaction summary

The proposed transaction is expected to be structured as a three-cornered amalgamation, whereby a wholly owned subsidiary of Yubba will amalgamate with Ruckify to form a newly amalgamated company (Amalco). Pursuant to the amalgamation, holders of Ruckify shares will receive one common share in the capital of Yubba for each Ruckify share held. In addition, pursuant to the amalgamation, each Ruckify stock option and each Ruckify warrant will be exchanged for a Yubba stock option or Yubba warrant, as applicable, on substantially the same terms and conditions, except that such securities will thereafter be exercisable to receive one Yubba share.

In order to align the value of the Yubba shares with the value per Ruckify share at which the proposed transaction will be completed, it is anticipated that Yubba will consolidate its common shares on the basis of one postconsolidation Yubba share for every 7.598 existing Yubba shares. Pursuant to the terms of the proposed transaction, Yubba shares are being valued at 19 cents per Yubba share, and the Ruckify shares shall have an implied value equal to the terms of the Ruckify subscription receipts issuable pursuant to the proposed private placement of Ruckify to be completed in connection with the proposed transaction.

As at the date of this news release, Yubba has 5.22 million common shares and 477,600 stock options, with each stock option exercisable to acquire one Yubba share (on a preconsolidation basis).

Upon completion of the proposed transaction, Yubba will be the parent and sole shareholder of Amalco and thus will indirectly carry on the business of Ruckify. As a result, Yubba intends to change its name to Fat Llama Corp., or such other name as is acceptable to the regulators. Further, it is proposed that the officers and directors of Ruckify will replace the existing officers and directors of Yubba. Biographical information regarding these individuals is provided herein.

The proposed transaction is subject to the parties successfully entering into a definitive agreement in respect of the proposed transaction on or before Nov. 30, 2021, or such other date as Ruckify and Yubba may mutually agree. The completion of the proposed transaction is also subject to a number of other conditions, including obtaining all necessary board, shareholder and regulatory approvals, including TSX-V approval.

In connection with the proposed transaction, Yubba will convene a meeting of its shareholders for the purpose of approving, among other matters: the consolidation; the name change; and the election of the directors to replace the current directors of Yubba immediately following the completion of the proposed transaction. Ruckify will convene a meeting of its shareholders for the purpose of approving the amalgamation and the proposed transaction. The proposed transaction has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of Ruckify and Yubba, and both boards of directors recommend that their respective shareholders vote in favour of the proposed transaction and related matters.

As at the date hereof, Ruckify has the following securities issued and outstanding: 13,972,219 Ruckify shares, options to acquire 1,066,405 Ruckify shares and warrants to acquire 185,336 Ruckify shares. As at the date hereof, Fat Llama has the following securities issued and outstanding: 21,116,364 Fat Llama shares and Fat Llama options to acquire 1,328,735 Fat Llama shares.

Upon completion of the proposed transaction and assuming the completion of the Fat Llama acquisition (including the exercise of certain Fat Llama options) and the consolidation, it is anticipated that there will be an aggregate of approximately 55,005,745 Yubba shares issued and outstanding, and additional securities convertible into or exercisable to acquire 6,689,460 Yubba shares. The breakdown of such postcompletion Yubba share ownership is as follows: former shareholders of Yubba will hold 687,022 Yubba shares, representing 1.2 per cent of the outstanding Yubba shares; former shareholders of Ruckify will hold 13,972,219 Yubba shares, representing 25.4 per cent of the outstanding Yubba shares; and former shareholders of Fat Llama will hold 40,346,504 Yubba shares, representing 73.3 per cent of the outstanding Yubba shares (on a non-diluted basis).

No finders' fees are payable in connection with the proposed transaction. A filing statement or joint management information circular of Ruckify and Yubba will be prepared and filed, in accordance with the policies of the TSX-V.
