("Mii.TV") dated July 29, 2024 with respect to the sale of the assets of the Company's 'Peeks Social' web and app based platform ("Peaks Asset") to Mii.TV (the "Transaction").

2024年8月19日安大略省多倫多——(新聞稿 - Newsfile Corp.)——Personas Social Incorporated(下稱「公司」)(TSXV:PRSN)很高興宣佈,公司已於2024年7月29日與Mii.TV Inc.(「Mii.TV」)簽訂了一份意向書(下稱「LOI」),就將公司的「Peeks Social」網絡和應用平台(下稱「Peaks Asset」)的資產出售給Mii.TV(下稱「交易」)達成了協議。

The Transaction will be considered a related party transaction pursuant to TSX Venture Exchange Policies and applicable securities laws as Mr. Mark Itwaru is a major shareholder and a director and officer of the Company and of Mii.TV, and the sale of the Peeks Asset is being considered a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

如果交易完成,公司將計劃將其資源投入開發其新的、重新推出的Keek Social網絡和應用平台,該平台提供用戶通過短視頻和長視頻分享生活並與他人聯繫。這筆交易將被認爲是與TSX Venture Exchange政策和適用證券法相關的方關交易, 因爲公司的大股東、董事和高管Mark Itwaru同時也是Mii.TV的董事和高級管理人員,而Peeks Asset的出售被認爲是公司所有或實質上所有資產的出售。

If the Transaction is consummated, the Company plans to devote its resources to the development of its new and re-launched Keek Social web and app-based platform. Keek Social offers users the chance to share their lives and connect with others through both short-form and long-form videos.

交易的條款

Details of the Proposed Transaction

公司將Peeks Asset的100%出售給Mii.TV,售價爲4,540,000美元(下稱「購買價格」)。該交易的結構是,購買價格的50%將在交割時支付(2,270,000美元)(下稱「交割金額」),其中包括將由Mii.TV承擔的Peeks Asset應付賬款1056280美元和代表Peeks Asset客戶欠款的1,美%,其餘金額53,000美元將在交割時以現金支付。購買價格剩餘的50%將在交割後36個月內支付,其中16.6%(756,666億美元)將在交割日或交割日之前的第一週年紀念日前支付,16.6%(756,666億美元)的購買價格將在交割日或交割日之前的第二週年紀念日前支付,剩餘的16.8%(756,668億美元)的購買價格將在交割交易36個月內支付(這些金額稱爲「剩餘購買價格支付」),但遵循以下協議:在向Mii.TV支付Peeks Asset出售款以後,如果由於第三方事項、決策或裁決,監管、銀行或其他原因,Peeks Asset無限期停止運營(由公司和Mii.TV書面協議同意),Mii.TV僅需要根據Peaks Asset停止運營後的日期和時間比例支付剩餘購買價格付款; 要特別注意的是,如果在Peaks Asset的業務中出現了由公司和Mii.TV口頭協議的中斷,剩餘購買價格的付款仍將被視爲應付且必須支付。

The Company will sell 100% of the Peeks Asset to Mii.TV for a purchase price of $4,540,000 ("Purchase Price"). The Transaction is structured whereby 50% of the Purchase Price will be paid on closing ($2,270,000) ("Closing Amount") and this Closing Amount will be made up of $1,056,280 which consists of accounts payable of the Peeks Asset that will be assumed by Mii.TV and the sum of $1,, representing debt deposits owed to customer of the Peeks Assets, and the remaining amount of $53,000 will be paid in cash on closing. The remaining 50% of the Purchase Price will be paid over the course of the next 36 months from the date of closing with 16.6% ($756,666) of the Purchase Price being paid on or before the first anniversary of the closing of the Transaction, 16.6% ($756,666) of the Purchase Price to be paid on or before the second anniversary of the closing of the Transaction and the remaining 16.8% ($756,668) of the Purchase Price to be paid within 36 months from the date of closing of the Transaction (collectively, these amounts are the "Remaining Purchase Price Payments"), subject to the following adjustment that have been agreed to by the parties - following the closing of the sale of the Peeks Asset from the Company to Mii.TV, if the Peeks Asset ceases to operate, indefinitely as agreed to by the Company and Mii.TV in writing, due to third party matters, decisions or rulings, regulatory, banking or otherwise, Mii.TV shall only be required to pay a pro-rata amount of the Remaining Purchase Price Payments based on the date and time of when the Peaks Asset ceased to operate following closing of the Transaction, and for greater certainty, if there are interruption(s) in the business of the Peaks Asset, as agreed to by the Company and Mii.TV in writing, the Remaining Purchase Price Payments will still be owed, due and payable.

交易還需要滿足盡職調查、董事會批准和監管部門批准等習慣性的交易條款,該交易還需要TSX Venture Exchange(下稱「TSXV」)的批准,公司和Mii.TV計劃達成一份確切的購買和銷售Peeks Asset的協議。

The Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions such as due diligence, board approvals, regulatory approvals and is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and the Company and Mii.TV plan to enter into a definitive agreement for the purchase and sale of the Peeks Asset.

由於Mark Itwaru是公司的重要股東、董事和高管以及Mii.TV的董事和高管,Peeks Asset的出售被認爲是公司所有或實質上所有資產的出售,這意味着交易將是《61-101多元化融資工具和少數股東保護規則》(「MI 61-101」)中的「關聯方交易」。在不受到豁免的情況下,公司必須在獲得少數股東批准之前獲得對此交易的正式評估,Peeks Asset的出售將在下文中更詳細地加以描述。如果需要的話,公司可以在交易完成之前或完成後提交重大變更報告,該交易不會導致公司創建任何內部人士或控制人。

The Transaction is a "related party transaction" for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") by virtue of the fact that Mark Itwaru, the Chairman and CEO of the Company controls and is also a director and officer of Mii.TV, thereby necessitating that the Company obtain a formal valuation for, and minority approval of, the Transaction in the absence of exemptions from such requirements, and the sale of the Peeks Asset is being considered a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, which will be more fully described in the Information Circular (defined below). The Company may file a material change report prior to or upon completion of the Transaction, if and as required, and the Transaction does not result in any new insider or control person being created for the Company as no new securities are being issued.

就Peeks Asset的出售交易而言,這是一項「關聯交易」,因爲其被視爲公司的所有或實質上所有資產的出售,所以董事會成立了獨立的專門委員會(「特別委員會」)來探索和協商交易。該委員會由William Lavin先生和James Westlake先生組成,他們都是公司的獨立董事,Mark Itwaru因其對Mii.TV的利益而退出談判並將在該項交易的董事會投票中棄權。

The Company will comply with internal controls, regulatory requirements, TSXV Policies regarding the Transaction as it is considered a 'related party transaction' pursuant to TSXV Policies and securities laws and the sale of the Peeks Asset is being considered a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, which will be more fully described in the Company Information Circular (defined below). There are no finder's fee or commissions being provided in connection with the Transaction.

由於Peeks Asset的出售被視爲公司所有或實質上所有資產的出售,因此公司將遵守內部控制、監管要求、TSXV政策和證券法,以便實現與該交易相關的「交易方交易」。公司信息通告中將進一步描述這一點。此次交易未提供任何Finder的費用或佣金。

Special Committee of Directors

董事特別委員會

As the Transaction is deemed to be a related party transaction and is being considered a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") established an independent special committee of directors (the "Special Committee") to explore and negotiate the Transaction. The Committee is comprised of Messrs. William Lavin and James Westlake, each of whom were independent directors of the Company. Mr. Itwaru has recused himself from the negotiations and will abstain from voting as a director on the Transaction as a result of his interests in Mii.TV.

由於該交易被視爲關聯交易,並考慮到該交易被視爲公司所有或實質上所有資產的出售,公司的董事會成立了一個由獨立董事William Lavin和James Westlake組成的獨立特別委員會來探討和協商此項交易。由於Mark Itwaru是Mii.TV的董事和高管,公司要滿足MI 61-101的要求,因此需要獲得Transaction的正式評估和最少有些數額的少數股東批准。 Peeks Asset的出售也被視爲公司所有或實質上所有資產的出售,這在信息通告中將有詳細描述。
