18.02.2020 | Accesswire
VANCOUVER, February 18, 2020 - Omni Commerce Corp. (TSXV:OMNI) (FRA:0MZA) ("Omni" or the "Company") announces that, further to its news release of February 12, 2020, it has reached an agreement to extend the outside closing date (the "Outside Date") to March 13, 2020 (the "Extension") under the previously announced transaction agreement (the "Transaction Agreement") with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Omni ("Omni Subco") and Dreamfields Brands, Inc. ("Dreamfields").
"The further amendments to the Transaction Agreement demonstrate goodwill on the part of both Omni and Dreamfields to conclude the transaction," stated Peter M. Clausi, Omni's Interim CEO. "The extension to the closing date will allow Dreamfields to deliver its audited financial statements, and Omni's management continues to believe that its ongoing due diligence will ensure that this transaction benefits Omni shareholders. Progress has been constructive, with all parties putting forth strong efforts to close as soon as possible. Special thanks are owed to senior management of Dreamfields for efforts in moving the transaction forward."
The amendments to the Transaction Agreement were effected by way of a third amending agreement to the Transaction Agreement dated as of February 7, 2020, with Omni Subco and Dreamfields. The Transaction Agreement has been amended to provide that Dreamfields will pay a break fee to Omni in the amount of USD $50,000 if Dreamfields terminates the Transaction Agreement prior to delivering the requisite financial statements to Omni. The break fee will become mutual after Dreamfields has delivered the requisite financial statements to Omni, such that the break fee will be payable by whichever party terminates the Transaction Agreement due to the closing of the transaction not having occurred on or before the Outside Date. All other terms of the Transaction Agreement remain in full force and effect.
