Dealnet Capital Corp. ("Dealnet" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: DLS) would like to thank all of the shareholders who have already deposited their Dealnet common shares (the “Common Shares”) to the premium cash offer of $0.16 per Common Share (the “Offer”) from Simply Group Acquisition Corp. (“Simply Green”). For the remaining shareholders who wish to take advantage of the significant premium offered here, you must take action before the 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) deadline on October 14, 2020.

The Offer represents a premium of 33% to the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”) on August 21, 2020 (the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Offer), a premium of 52% to the 30-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) on the TSX-V for the period ending August 21, 2020 and a premium of 93% to the 90- day VWAP on the TSX-V for the period ending August 21, 2020.

Dealnet’s Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders accept the Offer and deposit their Common Shares under the Offer. Shareholders who do not take any action to deposit their Common Shares to the Offer will not receive the cash consideration for their Common Shares under the premium Offer.

How to Tender Common Shares to the Offer

Most Dealnet shareholders hold their shares at a bank, broker or other financial intermediary, which means you DO NOT hold a physical share certificate or DRS position. For these shareholders, depositing your shares to the offer is as simple as contacting your bank/broker’s corporate actions department and instructing them to tender your shares to the offer. If you need assistance in doing so, please call Kingsdale Advisors at toll free in North America at 1-866-851-3214 or call collect outside North America at 416-867-2272

These intermediaries likely have established deposit cut-off times that are prior to the Expiry Time. Shareholders must instruct their brokers or other intermediaries promptly if they wish to deposit their Common Shares.

Shareholders who are holding their shares directly and who wish to accept the Offer must complete and execute the letter of transmittal (printed on YELLOW paper) (the “Letter of Transmittal”) accompanying the takeover bid circular of Simply Green (the “Take-Over Bid Circular”) mailed to Dealnet shareholders in accordance with the instructions set forth therein and deposit the completed Letter of Transmittal, together with the certificates representing the Common Shares and all other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, to Kingsdale Advisors (the “Depositary and Information Agent”) prior to the Expiry Time of 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on October 14, 2020.

Alternatively, Shareholders who are holding their shares directly may:

  1. accept the Offer by following the procedures for book-based transfer of Common Shares described under Section 3 of the Offer, “Manner of Acceptance — Acceptance by Book-Entry Transfer” or
  2. accept the Offer where the certificates representing the Common Shares are not immediately available, or if the certificates and all of the required documents cannot be provided to the Depositary and Information Agent at or prior to the Expiry Time, by following the procedures for guaranteed delivery described under Section 3 of the Offer, “Manner of Acceptance — Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery” using the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (printed on PINK paper) accompanying the Offer and Take-over Bid Circular (or a manually executed facsimile thereof).
