Inscape announces entering into an agreement for the sale and leaseback of the Holland Landing Facility
December 08 2021 - 5:21PM
Inscape Corporation (“
Inscape” or the
“
Company”) (TSX: INQ), is pleased to announce that
the Company has entered into an agreement (the
“
Agreement”) dated November 8, 2021 (the
“
Effective Date”) for the sale and leaseback (the
“
Proposed Transaction”) of the Holland Landing
Facility at 67 Toll Road, East Gwillimbury, Ontario (the
“
Property”) to a third-party purchaser (the
“
Purchaser”). The purchase price is
CDN$32,750,000.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Purchaser, had
thirty (30) days from the Effective Date to conduct physical and
other inspections and tests, studies and investigations relating to
the Property as it deemed necessary. If the Purchaser, in its sole,
absolute, and arbitrary discretion, was not satisfied with the
condition of the Property and its investigation and studies of the
Property and the economic feasibility of the Property, then the
Agreement would become null and void and be terminated (the
“Property Condition
Precedent”).
On December 8, 2021, the Purchaser confirmed
that the Property Condition Precedent was satisfied, and the
Agreement remained in effect. The Purchaser has provided a deposit
of CDN$1,500,000 (the “Deposit”) to be credited
toward the purchase price on closing of the Proposed Transaction.
In the event the Agreement is terminated by reason of the default
of the Purchaser, the Deposit, together with all interest, will be
retained by the Company as liquidated damages in full satisfaction
of all other rights and remedies the Company may have against the
Purchaser in respect of or arising from the Agreement.
On Closing, the Parties will enter into a lease
(the “Lease”) whereby the Company will lease back
the Property from the Purchaser for a term of ten (10) years, with
two (2) extension options of five (5) years each, substantially on
terms and conditions agreed to by the parties.
If all of the remaining closing conditions are
satisfied or fulfilled, the Proposed Transaction is expected to
close on or before January 24, 2022 (the
“Closing”). The Proposed Transaction is not
conditional on financing. There can be no assurance that the
conditions precedent will be met and that the Proposed Transaction
will be completed as proposed or at all.
“The pending completion of this transaction is
consistent with our strategic plan and is another material step in
our efforts to improve operations and the financial profile of
Inscape,” commented Eric Ehgoetz, CEO.

Cautionary Note regarding Forward Looking
Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking
statements” and “forward-looking information” within the meaning of
applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking
information includes, but is not limited to, the closing of the
Proposed Transaction and the terms and condition of the Lease and
forward-looking statements include but are not limited to the
impact of the Proposed Transaction on the Company’s strategic plan,
operations and financial profile. Generally, forward-looking
information can be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology such as “plans”, “expects”, “estimates”, “intends”,
“anticipates” “contemplates”, “projects” or “believes” or
variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions,
events or results “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “might”, or
“will be taken”, “occur”, or “be achieved” or the negative such as
“does not believe” or other variations thereof or comparable
terminology. Forward-looking information is based on the reasonable
assumptions, estimates, analysis, and opinions of management made
at the date that such statements are made. Forward-looking
information is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of
activity, performance, or achievements of the Company to be
materially different from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking information, including those risk factors
identified in the Company’s annual information form and
management’s discussion and analysis. Forward-looking information
is based on the reasonable assumptions, estimates, analysis, and
opinions of management made in light of its experience and its
perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments,
as well as other factors that management believes to be relevant
and reasonable in the circumstances at the date that such
statements are made, but which may prove to be incorrect.
Management cautions readers that the assumptions relative to the
future events, several of which are beyond Management’s control,
could prove to be incorrect, given that they are subject to certain
risk and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ
materially from those projected. Although the Company believes that
the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking
information are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on
forward-looking information because the Company can give no
assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Factors
which could cause results or events to differ from current
expectations include, among other things: (i) the satisfaction of
the conditions precedent; (ii) the terms and conditions of the
Lease; (iii) completion of the Proposed Transaction by the parties;
and (iv) the impact of the Proposed Transaction on the Company’s
strategic plan, operations, and financial profile. There can be no
assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as
actual results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such information. The Company does not undertake to
update any forward-looking information, except in accordance with
applicable securities laws. The reader is cautioned not to place
undue reliance on forward looking information.
