September 15, 2021 7:39 PM EDT | Source: GOLO Mobile Inc.

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - September 15, 2021) - GOLO Mobile Inc. doing business as Usewalter (TSXV: WLTR) ("Usewalter" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to the press release issued on August 27, 2021, the Company has entered into a binding share purchase and sale agreement dated September 15, 2021 (the "Agreement") with an arm's length party, N. Harris Computer Corporation (the "Purchaser") pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of GOLO Inc. and Walter Innovations Inc., two wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the "Subsidiaries") which sale includes the Company's software platform, customer relationships and the Usewalter brand (the "Transaction").

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Purchaser will pay an aggregate cash purchase price of $500,000 for the Subsidiaries, subject to certain adjustments, and will assume the Company's premises lease obligations of approximately $400,000.

Benefits of the Transaction

The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception, and in the current environment, the Company does not believe that it has the ability to successfully market its SaaS-based smart building technology or raise the additional capital required to develop its business on acceptable terms. The Transaction is expected to provide the Company's shareholders with greater value for the assets of the Company than would otherwise have been obtained in connection with the voluntary dissolution and winding up of the Company (the "Dissolution") announced on August 10, 2021.

In the event that the Transaction is completed according to the terms of the Agreement, the Company will not have any active business operations or material assets other than cash. The Company expects to be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and to proceed with the Dissolution following the completion of the Transaction. The Company intends to distribute the net proceeds of the Transaction and the Company's remaining cash (after payment of Transaction costs, Dissolution costs and payment of all liabilities and obligations of the Company) to shareholders of Usewalter ("Shareholders") in one or more installments. The Corporation will provide shareholders with further updates with respect to the proposed distributions upon completion of the Transaction.

Completion of the Transaction, Shareholder Meeting and Dissolution

The Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions for a transaction of this nature, including: (i) the receipt of resignations and releases from certain officers and directors of the Subsidiaries; (ii) minimum customer revenue billing; (iii) the receipt of the approval of the TSXV; and (iv) the approval of the Transaction by not less than 66 2/3% of votes cast by Shareholders in person or by proxy at a special meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting"). At the Meeting, Shareholders will also vote to approve the Dissolution and proposed delisting (the "Delisting") of the Usewalter shares from the TSXV. The Dissolution must also be approved by not less than 66 2/3% of the votes cast by Shareholders in person or by proxy. In addition, approvals must be received by a majority of the votes cast by the Shareholders, excluding those votes cast by persons who are to be excluded pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, as adopted by Policy 5.9 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions of the TSXV. Approval of the Delisting must be received by a majority of the votes cast by the Shareholders, excluding those votes cast by persons whose votes are to be excluded pursuant to Policy 2.9 - Trading Halts, Suspensions and Delisting of the TSXV. The Meeting will be held on October 19, 2021 in Montreal, and it is expected that the closing of the Transaction will occur shortly thereafter. The outside date under the Agreement to satisfy all conditions and close the Transaction is November 15, 2021.

Details of the Transaction and the Dissolution process will be set out in greater detail in the proxy materials, comprised of the notice of meeting, management information circular (the "Circular") and instrument of proxy which will be mailed out on or about September 27, 2021. Shareholders of the Company are encouraged to read the Circular as well as the Agreement. Copies of the Circular and the Agreement will be available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The board of directors of Usewalter (the "Board") has unanimously determined that the Transaction is in the best interests of the Company and fair to Shareholders, and the Board recommends that the Shareholders vote in favour of the Transaction at the Meeting. Shareholders holding approximately 64.7% of the outstanding Usewalter shares have signed voting support agreements in support of the Transaction.
