TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwire) — 12/12/11 — Wireless Age Communications Inc. (“the Company”) (PINKSHEETS: WLSA) is pleased to announce that it has entered into agreements to spin off the recently acquired OC Communications Group Inc. (“OCCGI”) and to sell its Toronto-based direct sales Joint-Venture (“JV”) for the sale and finance of home energy products and a License for the brand and business practices to GameCorp Ltd, a company listed on the Canadian National Stock Exchange (CNSX: GGG) and on the OTC Pink Sheets (PINKSHEETS: GAIMF).
“We believe these businesses have tremendous growth potential, and are well positioned to be the platform in a larger consolidation of BPO and home energy finance businesses,” said Mr. John G. Simmonds, President and CEO. “Strategically, WLSA is positioned to benefit as a significant shareholder of this business and as part of the transaction WLSA has also significantly reduced its liabilities,” Mr. Simmonds added. “This will provide WLSA the opportunity to expand its platform in home energy services, and to strengthen its core focus on growing the Enwise Homes Services Inc. and Enwise Building Science Inc. subsidiaries without the dilution of a consolidation strategy.”
The terms of the OCCGI sale agreement includes the receipt of one million shares of GameCorp, and transferring a vendor-take-back loan of $1.65 million secured by the common shares of OCCGI and owing to the previous shareholders of OCCGI. There are an additional two million common shares of GameCorp being issued on a conditional basis (the “Conditional Shares”) and earned by WLSA upon the OCCGI Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) for 2012, exceeding $1 million. The Conditional Shares will be placed in escrow and if the EBITDA does not exceed $1 million for the 2012 calendar year, then the Conditional Shares will be cancelled and returned to GameCorp-s treasury.
The terms of the JV include the sale of all of the assets, including accounts receivable of approximately $500,000 and the transfer of third party Promissory Notes also totaling $500,000. The third party Promissory Notes have an adjustment that provides for the amount transferred by WLSA to be reduced dollar-for-dollar if the related accounts receivable collected by GameCorp is less than $500,000. The License was sold to GameCorp for an additional one million common shares of GameCorp and an earn-out royalty equal to ten percent (10%) of EBITDA greater than one million Canadian dollar and capped at a cumulative amount of five million Canadian dollars.
Closing of the transactions described herein will occur immediately upon receipt of any required regulatory approval. While Mr. John Simmonds is a relative of the President and CEO of GameCorp, the transaction was completed on an arms-length basis and approved by the Board of Directors of WLSA.
