Yubba and Impact Housing Corporation Enter Into Letter of Intent to Complete Qualifying Transaction

TORONTO, Dec. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Yubba Capital Corp. (TSXV: YUB.P) (“Yubba”) and Impact Housing Corporation (“IHC”) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a letter of intent dated December 1, 2022 (the “LOI”), pursuant to which Yubba and IHC will complete a transaction that will result in a reverse take-over of Yubba by IHC (the “Proposed Transaction”). The Proposed Transaction, if completed, will constitute Yubba’s “Qualifying Transaction” (as such term is defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”)).

ABOUT IHC

IHC is a Panamanian based real estate developer, incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Panama on February 15, 2017, that provides affordable housing supported by a longstanding subsidized government program with multiple product offerings. The principal business of IHC is to build and develop affordable and high quality subsidized houses and in the Republic of Panama to support the middle class market. The vision of IHC is effectuated by a vertically integrated model which coordinates all services necessary to develop high-quality residential and commercial buildings; including but not limited to land acquisition, financing, architectural, engineering, off-site manufacturing, general contracting, property management, and administration. IHC is incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Panama.

CONCURRENT OFFERING

In conjunction with, and prior to the closing of the Proposed Transaction, IHC intends to complete a private placement offering of a minimum USD$6,000,000 of subscription receipts (the “Concurrent Offering”). Immediately prior to the completion of the Proposed Transaction, it is anticipated that each subscription receipt will be converted into (1) common share in the capital of IHC. The offering price (the “Offering Price”) for the Concurrent Financing shall be based on several factors, including general market conditions at the time of the Concurrent Financing.

A comprehensive news release with further particulars and full terms will be provided prior to the closing of the Concurrent Offering, in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.

SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION

The Proposed Transaction is expected to be structured as a plan of arrangement, three-cornered amalgamation, merger, a share exchange or other mechanism deemed to be most effective, as determined by the mutual agreement of IHC and Yubba upon receipt of tax, corporate and securities law advice. Pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, holders of common shares in the capital of IHC (the “IHC Shares”), including those investors in the Concurrent Offering, will receive one (1) common share in the capital of Yubba (each, a “Yubba Share”) for each IHC Share held.

In order to align the value of the Yubba Shares with the value per IHC Share at which the Proposed Transaction will be completed, it is anticipated that Yubba will complete either a share split or share consolidation (the “Share Capital Amendment”) on the basis of a ratio that results in the aggregate number of post-Share Capital Amendment Yubba Shares multiplied by the Offering Price being equal to C$1,100,000, subject to customary adjustments, details of which will be disclosed in a subsequent press release.

IHC does not have any convertible securities currently outstanding. Yubba has 300,000 options held by directors and officers of Yubba (the “Options”) and 177,600 broker warrants (the “Warrants”) outstanding to purchase Yubba Shares. Each Option and Warrant has an exercise price of C$0.10 and expires on August 26, 2026. As part of the Proposed Transaction, such convertible securities will be exchanged for convertible securities of the resulting issuer (the “Resulting Issuer”) on equivalent terms and conditions.

A comprehensive news release with further particulars relating to the Proposed Transaction, financial particulars, transaction structure, descriptions of the proposed management and directors of the Resulting Issuer, terms of any sponsorship, if applicable, among other particulars, will follow in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.

Completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including, but not limited to: (a) completion of satisfactory due diligence; (b) execution of a definitive agreement; (c) completion of the Concurrent Offering; (d) receipt of regulatory, corporate and third-party approvals; (e) acceptance of the Proposed Transaction as Yubba’s Qualifying Transaction by the TSXV; (f) receipt of approval for the listing of the common shares of the Resulting Issuer by the TSXV; and (g) shareholders of Yubba approving certain matters ancillary to the Proposed Transaction, including the Share Capital Amendment. There can, however, be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the filing statement, non-offering prospectus, or management information circular to be prepared in connection with the Proposed Transaction, any information released or received with respect to the Proposed Transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon.

Trading in securities of a capital pool company should be considered highly speculative. Shares of Yubba have been halted from trading on the TSXV, and trading is not expected to resume until closing of the Proposed Transaction.
