Gaming Nation Inc. to Be Acquired by Orange Capital

TORONTO, ON—(Marketwired – June 26, 2017) – Gaming Nation Inc. (“Gaming Nation” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: FAN), announced today that it has entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with OC Special Opportunities Fund, LP, a private investment fund, managed by Orange Capital Ventures GP, LLC (collectively, “Orange Capital'). Under the Arrangement Agreement, and with the unanimous support from Gaming Nation's board of directors (the “Board”), Orange Capital will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Gaming Nation, other than certain shares held by members of management and the Board, for CAD$0.95 in cash per share. The purchase price represents a 90% premium to the unaffected closing share price of CAD$0.50 on February 22, 2017, the day prior to the announcement of the Company's strategic review process. The price per share implies an aggregate fully‐diluted equity value for Gaming Nation of approximately CAD$44 million.

Peter Luukko, Chairman of the Board of Gaming Nation, said, “After a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives, and with the support from shareholders representing 45% of Gaming Nation's outstanding shares, we believe Orange Capital's offer is in the best interests of the Company. In addition to the significant premium, we believe there are other benefits to privatization and we look forward to working closely with Orange Capital to complete this transaction.”

“Gaming Nation represents an exciting investment opportunity for our investment partnership, and we look forward to working with Gaming Nation's management and employees,” said Daniel Lewis, Managing Partner of Orange Capital.

Transaction Highlights

  • The cash purchase price represents a 90% premium to the unaffected closing share price of CAD $0.50 on February 22, 2017, the day prior to the announcement of the strategic review process.
  • The Arrangement is not subject to a financing or due diligence condition.
  • At the request of Orange Capital, to reinforce Gaming Nation's senior management team's full commitment to the Company's long–term success, Gaming Nation's CEO, Scott Secord, together with certain members of Gaming Nation's senior management team and Board (Blair McGibbon, Richard Crowe, Peter Luukko and Patrick Burke) (collectively, the “Rollover Shareholders”) have agreed to exchange an aggregate of 2.3 million shares (representing the majority of their shareholdings) for units of Orange Capital or an affiliate thereof.
  • In addition, certain significant shareholders of Gaming Nation have entered into voting agreements with Orange Capital and have agreed to vote all of their shares (including shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants) in favour of the transaction. Together with the Rollover Shareholders, 20.8 million shares representing 45% of the fully diluted shares outstanding are subject to the voting agreements, including shares held by the Company's largest shareholder.
  • Gaming Nation's Board formed a special committee (the “Special Committee”) to negotiate and review the transaction. The Special Committee and the Board have unanimously recommended that the shareholders vote in favour of the transaction.
  • The Arrangement Agreement provides for a termination fee of CAD $2,000,000 payable by the Company if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances and a reverse termination fee of CAD $4,000,000 or CAD $2,500,000 payable by Orange Capital if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances. Orange Capital has placed CAD $4,000,000 into escrow with an escrow agent.

Transaction Details

The transaction will be implemented by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).

The transaction is also subject to the approval of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the TSX Venture Exchange, in addition to certain regulatory approvals and closing conditions customary for a transaction of this nature.

The Board's recommendation of the transaction is the result of the Special Committee's strategic review process that began in February 2017.

Yamaha Factory-Supported and bLU cRU ATV & SxS Racers Topping Podiums

KENNESAW, GA—(Marketwired – June 23, 2017) – Yamaha Motor Corp., USA, factory–supported and bLU cRU racers are dominating the 2017 season piloting Yamaha's pure–sport YXZ1000R Side–by–Side (SxS) and unrivaled YFZ450R ATV. Both built in the USA vehicles are frequenting the podium and topping point–standings in multiple major off–road racing series across the nation.

Yamaha continues to be the preeminent SxS manufacturer competing in The Off–Road Championship (TORC) series, currently sweeping the podium in the industry's only pure–sport SxS, the YXZ1000R, featuring a Yamaha–exclusive manual–transmission. Undefeated so far in the 2017 TORC series, Yamaha factory–supported racer CJ Greaves leads the Pro Stock UTV class with 76 points after going three–for–three in his #933 Monster Energy / Maxxis / Greaves Motorsports / Yamaha YXZ1000R. Additional Yamaha bLU cRU racers Kenny Masch and Zachary Martin round out the pack in second and third overall, respectively, each driving the YXZ1000R.

Following Yamaha's domination during the 2016 season, the Lucas Oil Regional Off–Road Racing Series' (LORORS) field of vehicles in both Southern California (So Cal) and Arizona has predominantly shifted, with the majority of racers in the Pro Production 1000 class now driving the unmatched YXZ1000R, offering a vehicle–to–driver direct–connection only available from Yamaha. In the So Cal series, bLU cRU racer Brandon Arthur stands second overall with 246 points, thanks to four of five podium finishes in his #906 Toyo Tires / MAVTV / Yamaha YXZ1000R. He also has back–to–back first place finishes in the LORORS of Arizona. Third overall in the So Cal Series is bLU cRU racer Keith Brooks with his #942 Chaparral Motorsports / Kartek Off–Road / Yamaha YXZ1000R. In five rounds, Brooks secured three podium finishes, including one so far in the top spot.

Leading the LORORS Arizona circuit for the 2017 season is 2016 LORORS AZ runner–up, Pro Stock UTV TORC champion and bLU cRU racer Corry Weller in her #948 Dragonfire Racing / Lucas Oil Racing TV / Yamaha YXZ1000R. So far, Weller landed on the podium in five of six Production 1000 UTV class races in Arizona – three of which were first place finishes.

In the World Off–Road Championship Series (WORCS), bLU cRU racer Nic Granlund captured back–to–back victories over the weekend, winning the SxS Pro Production and Pro Stock classes in round nine while driving his #68 STV Motorsports / Fox / DWT / Weller Racing / Yamaha YXZ1000R. Granlund is currently fourth in the SxS Pro Stock class standings with five podium finishes, and has three podium finishes in the Pro Production class.

For yet another year, Yamaha ATV racers continue to lead aboard the Proven Off–Road YFZ450R, the best–selling 450–class sport ATV in America*. Currently leading the AMA ATV MX National Championship series Pro class for the sixth year in a row is long–time ATV MX champion Chad Wienen with his #1 Wienen Motorsports / Yamaha YFZ450R. Wienen finished on the podium in all six rounds of the 2017 season so far, with four overall wins to date. He is also the only racer in the series to podium in every race, making it 56 consecutively since joining Yamaha, along with securing a total of 34 overall wins.

Furthering Yamaha as the best–selling Sport ATV brand in America** and dominating the Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) XC1 Pro ATV class for his third year in a row is reigning champion Walker Fowler onboard his Walker Fowler Racing / Maxxis / Moto–Xperts / Yamaha YFZ450R. In seven races, Fowler has earned 205 points, with a 56 point lead over the competition thanks to six first place wins, placing no lower than second throughout the series.

The Yamaha YXZ1000R and YFZ450R, along with every Yamaha SxS and full–size ATV, are proudly Assembled in the USA at Yamaha's state–of–the–art manufacturing facility in Newnan, Georgia, for worldwide distribution.

Yamaha's newly launched ATV / SxS bLU cRU Racing Support Program for 2017 offers a potential total payout of $100,000 in championship bonuses for ATV and SxS racers competing in select classes and series aboard Yamaha's 2016 or newer YXZ1000R and YFZ450R models.
