Principal Shareholders, Directors and Officers

There is currently one common share of SociaLabra (the "SociaLabra Shares") issued and outstanding, which is held in trust on behalf of the following principal shareholders:

Stewart Davis of Brampton, Ontario;

Ken Killin of Toronto, Ontario;

JT Associates Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of Ontario whose principal shareholder is Josef Zankowicz, of Toronto, Ontario;

John Lennie of Toronto, Ontario;

Ryan Pinto of Toronto, Ontario; and

Jeffrey Chong of Toronto, Ontario.

The current directors and officers of SociaLabra are as follows:

Stewart Davis, Chairman, of Brampton, Ontario;

Josef Zankowicz, Chief Executive Officer, of Toronto, Ontario;

Ken Killin, Director, of Toronto, Ontario; and

John Lennie, Director, of Toronto, Ontario.

The Transaction

Subject to regulatory approval, JMC and SociaLabra will enter into an agreement pursuant to which JMC will acquire all of the outstanding SociaLabra Shares in exchange for JMC Shares. The number of JMC Shares issuable to the shareholders of SociaLabra will be equal to the higher of: (i) a valuation of $10 million; and (ii) the post-money valuation of SociaLabra based on its last financing prior to the date of completion of the Transaction, up to a maximum valuation of $12 million.

As a result of the issuance of the JMC Shares, on the closing of the Transaction: (i) SociaLabra will become a wholly owned subsidiary of JMC; and (ii) the SociaLabra Shareholders will become shareholders of JMC. For greater clarity, assuming the issuance of JMC Shares to the SociaLabra shareholders is based on a valuation of $10 million, the current shareholders of JMC shall retain an interest of approximately 6.4% in JMC following the completion of the Transaction.

Proposed Concurrent Financing

Concurrently with, or immediately prior to, the closing of the Transaction, a private placement (the "Private Placement") will be completed by SociaLabra with gross proceeds intended to be between $2.5 million and $5 million to accredited investors and other exempt purchasers under Canadian securities laws. The terms of the Private Placement will be announced as soon as finalized and will be disclosed in the filing statement to be prepared by JMC in respect of the Transaction. The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to assist in SociaLabra growth strategy through acquisition or otherwise, as well as working capital.

Conditions of Closing

The Transaction is conditional upon, among other things:

  1. receiving all necessary regulatory and third party approvals and authorizations;
  2. within 60 days of the date of the LOI, SociaLabra shall complete a financing, through its own efforts and expense, of minimum gross proceeds of $400,000;
  3. the absence of any material adverse change in the business, financial condition, prospects, assets or operations, as applicable, of SociaLabra and JMC;
  4. approval of the Transaction by the board of directors of SociaLabra and JMC;
  5. conditional acceptance of the Transaction by the Exchange (including acceptance for filing of a definitive agreement giving effect to the Transaction (the "Definitive Agreement") and the filing statement completed pursuant to the policies of the Exchange), subject only to conditions customary of a transaction of this nature; provided, however, that if the Transaction is rejected by the Exchange as the qualifying transaction of JMC, (i) all recourse or rights of appeal to complete the Transaction as contemplated hereby will have been exhausted, and (ii) the party wishing to terminate the Definitive Agreement on this basis will have first used commercially reasonable efforts to renegotiate the terms of the Transaction objectionable to the Exchange on terms acceptable to the parties to the Definitive Agreement, acting reasonably;
  6. approval of a name change of JMC by the shareholders of JMC at a special meeting to "SociaLabra Inc." or such other name as may be acceptable to SociaLabra and the Exchange;
  7. the maintenance of JMC's current listing on the Exchange;
  8. accuracy of the parties' respective representations and warranties in the Definitive Agreement as at Closing;
  9. the availability of prospectus and registration exemptions for the Transaction under applicable securities law;
  10. completion of due diligence satisfactory to each party; and
  11. completion of a sponsorship report satisfactory to the Exchange (or waiver by the Exchange of that requirement).

Halt on Trading

Trading in the JMC Shares will remain halted pending the review of the proposed Transaction by the Exchange. There can be no assurance that trading in the JMC Shares will resume prior to the completion of the proposed Transaction.

Arm's Length Transaction

The proposed Transaction constitutes an arm's length transaction in accordance with the policies of the Exchange, and as such, it is not anticipated to require approval by the shareholders of JMC.

Sponsor

The proposed Transaction is subject to the sponsorship requirements of the Exchange. JMC intends to apply for an exemption from the sponsorship requirements of the Exchange on the basis that the Private Placement will be a brokered private placement. In the event that an exemption is not available, a sponsor will be identified at a later date and will be announced in a subsequent press release of JMC. An agreement to sponsor should not be construed as an assurance with respect to the merits of the proposed Transaction or the likelihood of its completion.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors and Management of SociaLabra upon completion of the Transaction will be announced by SociaLabra and JMC at a future date once these positions have been confirmed.

Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, Exchange acceptance and if applicable pursuant to Exchange Requirements, majority of the minority shareholder approval. Where applicable, the transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. 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 management information circular or filing statement to be prepared 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.
