Inscape announces entering into an agreement for the sale of surplus real estate
February 03 2022 - 5:00PM
Inscape Corporation (“
Inscape” or the
“
Company”) (TSX: INQ), is pleased to announce that
the Company has entered into an agreement (the
“
Agreement”) accepted on February 2, 2022 (the
“
Acceptance
Date”) for the sale of surplus
property (the “
Proposed Transaction”) at 70 Toll
Road, East Gwillimbury, Ontario (the “
Property”)
to a third-party purchaser (the “
Purchaser”). The
purchase price is CDN$1,500,000.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Purchaser has
forty-five (45) days from the Acceptance Date to conduct due
diligence and other inspections and tests relating to the Property
as it deems necessary. If the Purchaser, in its sole, absolute, and
arbitrary discretion, is 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 will
become null and void and be terminated (the
“Property Condition
Precedent”).
The Purchaser has provided a deposit of
CDN$50,000 (the “Deposit”) to be credited toward
the purchase price on closing of the Proposed Transaction. The
Purchaser will provide a second deposit in the amount of CDN$75,000
(the “Second Deposit”) in the event it waives the
Property Condition Precedent, which is also 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, both the Deposit and the Second 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.
If all of the required closing conditions are
satisfied or fulfilled, the Proposed Transaction is expected to
close on May 31, 2022 (the “Closing”). 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.
“This transaction completes our efforts to
divest surplus real estate assets and redeploy the proceeds derived
in a prudent manner consistent with the best interests of all of
our stakeholders. The pending completion of this transaction is
completely aligned with our strategic plan and is yet another
milestone 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.
