CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Sept. 9, 2015) - STORAGEVAULT CANADA INC. ("StorageVault") (TSX VENTURE:SVI) in relation to the resolution of the shareholders of StorageVault for the amendment to its series 1 preferred shares (the "Preferred Shares") which was approved at its Annual General Meeting held on July 27, 2015 (the "Meeting"), StorageVault has received TSX Venture Exchange approval for the amendment and has filed the amendment to its Preferred Shares. The amendment included extending the period for providing notice of conversion of the Preferred Shares to no later than June 30, 2016. For further information on the amendment to the Preferred Shares, please see StorageVault's Information Circular for the Meeting which is available on www.SEDAR.com.
In addition, StorageVault is pleased to announce that it has received notices of conversion of all of the Preferred Shares from the two holders of the Preferred Shares (Apex Investment Limited Partnership and Saskworks Venture Fund Inc., collectively, the "Holders"). The Holders exercised their option to convert all such Preferred Shares into common shares of StorageVault ("Common Shares") at a price of $0.30 per Common Share conditional upon the closing of the Second Tranche (as described below). The Preferred Shares will convert into an aggregate of approximately 15,181,820 Common Shares on the last business day before the closing of the Second Tranche.
Update on Second Tranche
StorageVault is also announcing that, further to its press releases dated December 5, 2014, March 5, 2015, April 22, 2015 and April 29, 2015, the closing of the second tranche (the "Second Tranche") of the acquisition of certain self-storage assets and business of Access Self Storage Inc. ("Access") (collectively, the "Purchased Assets") is expected to occur on October 1, 2015, but may occur on an earlier or later date upon the agreement of the parties. In relation to the Second Tranche, StorageVault and Access have executed an amending agreement where the parties have agreed to swap out a Quebec property and two Ontario Properties in return for a larger Ontario property that is of equivalent value. The parties have agreed to the swap of properties in order to improve operational efficiencies for StorageVault when compared to the originally contemplated properties. The substitution of the properties in the Second Tranche will not change the original purchase price as set out in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement contains a mechanism which adjusts the purchase price up or down depending on the appraisals of the properties being purchased. The substitution of the properties is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
Completion of the Second Tranche is subject to typical closing conditions for transactions of this nature, including, but not limited to, satisfactory due diligence, board of director approval, creditor approval and Acquisition Committee Approval. There can be no assurance that the Second Tranche will be completed as proposed or at all. The TSX Venture Exchange has in no way passed upon the merits of the Second Tranche and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this news release.
