Zoomd Technologies Ltd. Announces Completion of Qualifying Transaction


NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zoomd Technologies Ltd. (formerly Dataminers Capital Corp.) (the "Company") (TSXV: DMC.H) is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced Qualifying Transaction (the "Transaction") with Zoomd Ltd. ("Zoomd") as well as the conversion of the subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") of Zoomd FinanceCo Ltd. ("FinCo") issued in connection with the previously announced a brokered and non-brokered private placement offering of CDN$8,385,990 (the "Offering"). The Company also announces the completion of a non-brokered private placement of common shares of FinCo for additional gross proceeds of CDN$880,000 (the "Share Offering"). The syndicate of agents (the "Agents") for the brokered portion of the Offering was co-led by Haywood Securities Inc. and Eight Capital and included Paradigm Capital Inc.

The Transaction, which constitutes the Company's "Qualifying Transaction" (as such term is defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") Corporate Finance Manual), was completed by way of a merger pursuant to which Dotima, a wholly owned Israeli subsidiary of the Company, merged with Zoomd to form a newly merged company ("Amalco"), which now holds Zoomd's assets as a wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary of the Company. Amalco shall operate under the name "Zoomd Ltd.".

In connection with the Transaction, Zoomd and the Company have satisfied the escrow release conditions of the Offering. The escrowed funds, net of the outstanding cash commission and expenses payable to the Agents (equal to approximately CDN$6,214,655.89) has been released to and as directed by the Company.

In connection with the Transaction, the Company: (a) consolidated its issued and outstanding common shares on a 2.5 old common shares to 1 new common share basis (the "Consolidation"); (b) changed its name to "Zoomd Technologies Ltd."; and (c) appointed Brightman Almagor Zohar & Co., Certified Public Accountants, Firm Member of Deloitte Touch Tohmatsu Limited as the new auditors of the Company.

Pursuant to the Transaction, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Zoomd and issued one common share of the Company (each, a "Resulting Issuer Share") to Zoomd's shareholders in exchange for each common share of Zoomd so acquired (aggregate of 81,655,219 common shares).

Immediately prior to the completion of the Transaction, Zoomd had 81,655,219 shares issued and outstanding including 1,927,053 shares issued to holders of 2,824,749 warrants of Zoomd, 1,711,957 of which were exercised on a cashless basis. Following the exercises, Zoomd has no warrants remaining outstanding.

Upon completion of the Transaction and as an integral part thereof, all the 81,655,219 issued shares to the former shareholders of Zoomd are being held by Altshuler Shaham Trusts Ltd., a designated trustee (the "Trustee") as required under the tax pre-ruling granted (the "Tax Ruling") by the Israeli Tax Authorities (the "ITA") to Zoomd and its shareholders. The purpose of this trust arrangement is to comply with the terms of the Tax Ruling which enables each shareholder to postpone the tax event as a result of the exchange of shares upon the completion of the Transaction to a later date, and therefore the shares are held in trust with the Trustee in order to ensure the future tax payments to the ITA. The voting rights of the shares held in trust will remain in the control of the shareholders, and the Trustee will disseminate the information from the Company to such shareholders. In the event a shareholder desires to dispose any of its shares, it must inform the Trustee in writing of such desire and the Trustee will perform the sale of such shares through a broker, and allocate the proceeds of such sale between the ITA and such shareholder, based on the tax status of such shareholder.

Upon completion of the Transaction (after giving effect to the conversion of the Subscription Receipts and the Share Offering), the Company has 93,230,209 shares issued and outstanding, with approximately 87.58% held by former Zoomd shareholders and approximately 0.56% held by former Dataminers shareholders, on an undiluted basis.

The Company has received conditional approval for the Transaction from the TSXV and its common shares are expected to commence trading on the TSXV under the ticker symbol "ZOMD" at the commencement of trading on Tuesday, September 3, 2019.

Following closing of the Transaction, the incumbent directors and officers of the Company (other than Darryl Cardey in his capacity as a director) tendered their resignations and the board of directors of the Company is now comprised of the following individuals: Amit Bohensky (Chairman of the Board), Amnon Argaman, Alex Jurovitsky, Josef Mendelbaum and Darryl Cardey. In addition, (a) Ofer Eitan has been appointed as the Chief Executive Officer; and (b) Tsvika Adler has been appointed as the Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary.

Full details of the Transaction and certain other matters are set out in the filing statement of the Company dated June 30, 2019 (the "Filing Statement"). A copy of the Filing Statement can be found under the Company's SEDAR profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Pursuant to the Transaction, each common share of FinCo that was issued on conversion of the Subscription Receipts has been exchanged for one Resulting Issuer Share.

In addition, FinCo completed a non-brokered private placement of common shares for aggregate gross proceeds of CDN$880,000.  Pursuant to the Transaction, each common share of FinCo issued pursuant to the share offering has been exchanged for one Resulting Issuer Share.
