North Sur Resources Inc. (“North Sur” or the “Corporation“) (TSX VENTURE:NST) is pleased to announce that further to the Corporation’s press release dated December 31, 2015 regarding an arm’s length agreement to acquire, by way of three-cornered amalgamation (the “Transaction“) with Integrated Commerce Technology Holdco, Ltd. (“ICT Holdco“), certain intellectual property and know-how relating to a reverse ATM stand-alone “coupon based” machine that is used for cash, debit and credit card transactions (including secure auditable cash payment systems to the state legalized cannabis industry) and such other rights and assets (the “Assets“) that relate to such technology, the Corporation has received conditional acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange“) with respect to the Transaction and has filed its management information circular for the annual and special meeting of its shareholders to be held on March 3, 2016.

Pursuant to the Transaction, ICT Holdco shareholders, other than subscription receipt holders (see “Private Placement” below), will be issued an aggregate of 24,283,330 post-Consolidation common shares of North Sur as ‘Resulting Issuer’ (“North Sur Shares“) at a deemed price of $0.30 per share, for a deemed aggregate value of $7,284,999 in exchange for shares of ICT Holdco held thereby. The Transaction is expected to constitute a Change of Business and Reverse Takeover of North Sur pursuant to the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange“) Policy 5.2 – Changes of Business and Reverse Takeovers, and upon completion thereof North Sur will be a Tier 2 Technology Issuer.

In connection with and as a condition of the Transaction, North Sur will consolidate its shares on a 6:1 basis (the “Consolidation“). There are currently 23,390,000 North Sur Shares and options for 420,000 North Sur Shares outstanding which will result in approximately 3,898,333 post-Consolidation North Sur Shares and options for 70,000 post-Consolidation North Sur Shares.

Private Placement

It is a condition to the closing of the Transaction that a concurrent financing be completed for a minimum of $2,000,000 and a maximum of $5,000,000. The non-brokered financing shall consist of an offering of: (a) North Sur Shares at $0.055 per share ($0.33 on a post-consolidation basis); and (b) ICT Holdco subscription receipts at $0.35 per subscription receipt. Such North Sur Shares will be subject to a four (4) month statutory restricted resale period from the date of issuance. Shares of the Resulting Issuer issued pursuant to the conversion of ICT Holdco subscription receipts and exchange of underlying ICT Holdco shares in connection with the Transaction will not be subject to a restricted resale period from issuance.

Assuming that the concurrent financing consists solely of subscription receipts, a minimum of 5,714,285 subscription receipts and a maximum of 14,285,714 subscription receipts will be issued at a price of $0.35 per subscription receipt. Each subscription receipt shall evidence the right to receive one (1) share of ICT Holdco upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, which shall automatically convert, without payment of any additional consideration and without further action on the part of a subscriber, into one (1) North Sur Share (as ‘Resulting Issuer’) on the closing of the Transaction.

Assuming that the concurrent financing consists solely of North Sur Shares, a minimum of 6,060,606 Common Shares and a maximum of 15,151,515 Common Shares will be issued at a price of $0.33 per share on a post-Consolidation basis.

Finder’s fees of up to 7% of the gross proceeds of the concurrent financing may be paid to eligible parties.

The net proceeds from the concurrent financing, as well as, the existing cash resources of North Sur will be used by the Resulting Issuer to fund the operations of the Resulting Issuer.
