TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec. 15, 2016) - Mega View Digital Entertainment Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:MVD.H) announces that, on December 14, 2016 Quan Si Kwon ("Quan") and Philip Chong ("Chong"), each being a director of the Company, have entered into an agreement pursuant to which Quan sold to Chong and Chong purchased from Quan 562,799 issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Purchased Shares") at the price $0.05 per Purchased Share, totaling $28,139.95 in aggregate (the "Share Acquisition").
The Share Acquisition was exempt from the formal take-over bid requirements in applicable Canadian securities laws pursuant to the "private agreement exemption" set forth in Section 4.2 of National Instrument 62-104 - Take-Over Bids And Issuer Bids ("NI 62-104"). The exemption is available to Chong on the basis that: (i) the Purchased Shares are being acquired from not more than five persons or companies in the aggregate; (ii) the bid was not made generally to holders of common shares of the Company; and (iii) the value of the consideration to be paid for the Purchased Shares, including brokerage fees and commissions, is not greater than 115 per cent of the market price of the Purchased Shares at the date of the bid as determined in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
For the purposes of determination of availability of the private agreement exemption as set forth in Section 4.2 of NI 62-104, and in accordance with section 1.11 of NI 62-104, the market price was calculated as simple average of the closing price of securities of that class for each of the business days on which there was a closing price in the 20 business days preceding December 14, 2016, the date of Share Acquisition. So calculated, the market price was determined to be $0.0442, and 115 per cent of which is $0.0508.
The Purchased Shares are being acquired for investment purposes. Depending on market conditions and other relevant factors, Chong may acquire additional common shares of the Company either on the open market or through private acquisitions, including acquisitions from treasury of the Company, or sell Purchased Shares either on the open market or through private dispositions.
Prior to completion of Share Acquisition, Chong owned directly or indirectly2,079,247 common shares of the Company ("Shares") or approximately 38.95 of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares and Quan directly or indirectly owned 563,800 Shares, or approximately 10.5% of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares. Following the completion of the Share Acquisition, Chong will own 2,643,047 or approximately 49.4% of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares and Quan will indirectly control 1,000 Shares, or approximately 0.02% of the issued and outstanding Shares.
