Terms of Proposed Transaction

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the existing security holders of ESG Holdings will receive replacement securities of Lida in exchange for their securities of ESG Holdings. The final form of the Proposed Transaction will be set forth in a definitive agreement to be entered into among the parties that will replace the LOI (the "Definitive Agreement").

It is expected that on the closing of the Proposed Transaction (the "Closing Date"), Lida will issue pro rata to the existing shareholders of ESG Holdings up to 16,100,000 common shares (the "Payment Shares") as consideration for 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of ESG Holdings at a deemed price of $0.25 per Payment Share.

Thus, the 16,100,000 Payment Shares are comprised of 8,100,000 Payment Shares to be issued to the currently existing shareholders of ESG Holdings and up to 8,000,000 Payment Shares to be issued to new investors in ESG Holdings.

An aggregate of 2,769,155 common shares of Lida are currently issued and outstanding and a further 471,925 common shares of Lida are reserved for issuance pursuant to share purchase warrants exercisable at $5.00 per share. Assuming the ESG Holdings private placement is fully subscribed, upon completion of the Proposed Transaction there will be 18,869,155 common shares issued and outstanding in the Resulting Issuer, of which former shareholders of ESG Holdings will hold 16,100,000 Resulting Issuer shares (85.32%) and current shareholders of Lida will hold 2,769,155 Resulting Issuer shares (14.68%).

On the Closing Date, Lida will issue to existing warrantholders of ESG Holdings (the "ESG Holdings Warrantholders"), 8,100,000 common share purchase warrants of Lida (the "Replacement Warrants") exercisable at a price of $0.10 per Replacement Warrant and will also award 750,000 RSU's to current holders of ESG Holdings RSU's, subject to and in accordance with the rules and policies of the CSE.

In addition, Lida will assume all rights and obligations of ESG Holdings under certain investment agreements that have been or will be entered into between ESG Holdings and various other entities prior to the Closing Date.

Completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, CSE approval, and shareholder approval if required pursuant to CSE, securities regulatory or corporate law requirements. In addition, completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to certain standard closing conditions, including the completion of due diligence investigations to the satisfaction of each of Lida and ESG Holdings, execution of the Definitive Agreement, and there being no material adverse change in the business of Lida or ESG Holdings prior to completion of the Proposed Transaction.

The parties also anticipate that in conjunction with and upon closing of the Proposed Transaction, the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer shall initially consist of three directors, all of whom will be nominated by ESG Holdings in consultation with Lida. It is currently anticipated that ESG Holdings will nominate the following Directors and Officers:

  • Anthony Zelen, Director
  • Steven Landry, Director
  • Meetul Patel, CFO
  • Young Bann, CEO

All other current directors and officers of Lida shall resign at or prior to the closing of the Proposed Transaction.
