Life Sciences Announces Change of Business and Close of TSX Venture Exchange Compliance Review

02/11/2009 9:52pm

Marketwired Canada


LIFE SCIENCES INSTITUTE INC. (TSX VENTURE:LSN) (the "Corporation" or "Life
Sciences"), announces that the Compliance and Disclosure Department of the TSX
Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") has completed its Compliance Review of the
Corporation's affairs. The Corporation further announces that it will be seeking
the ratification of the acquisition of certain oil and gas assets, along with
the disposition of its current educational assets which is intended to
constitute a change of business ("COB") in accordance with the policies of the
Exchange ("Exchange Policies"). Along with the COB, the Corporation will be
proposing a new management team to take over following completion of the COB, in
addition Life Sciences intends prior to the completion of COB to close both a
brokered offering by way of a Short Form Offering Document ("SFOD") and a
non-brokered private placement and effect a share consolidation on a 3 to1
basis.


The Corporation's common shares ("Common Shares") are currently suspended from
trading. The Exchange has informed the Corporation that reinstatement to trading
of the Corporation's Common Shares will not occur until such time as all of the
outstanding Exchange requirements ("Exchange Requirements") have been satisfied.
To date, the Corporation has not satisfied these Exchange Requirements,
therefore the Corporation's Common Shares will remain suspended and there is no
assurance when reinstatement to trading of the Corporation's Common Shares will
occur, if at all.


Results of the Compliance Review

On May 6, 2009 the Compliance and Disclosure Department of the Exchange, in
response to the Corporation's request to have its Common Shares reinstated for
trading on the Exchange, commenced a review of the Corporation's compliance with
Exchange Policies and requirements (the "Compliance Review"). On August 31,
2009, after numerous exchanges between the Corporation and the Exchange, the
Exchange concluded its review of the Corporation's affairs determining that the
following contraventions of Exchange Policies had occurred:


1. Failure to File Closing Documents with the Exchange for two Private Placements

Background

On October 20, 2005, the Exchange issued conditional approval for the issuance
of an aggregate of 11,640,000 Common Shares by way of private placements. On
November 10, 2005 and August 23, 2007 the Corporation proceeded to close two
private placements representing a total aggregate issuance of 9,283,188 Common
Shares (the "Impugned Private Placements"). The Corporation did not file the
specified closing documents as set out in the Exchange's conditional approval
letters within the prescribed timeframe and therefore such Impugned Private
Placements were closed without the required Exchange approval. As a result the
Corporation failed to comply with the following Exchange Policies:


a. Section 1.14 of Exchange Policy 4.1 requires that the specified closing
documents be submitted within 15 days of receipt the Exchange's conditional
approval letter or the approval would be revoked.


b. As a result of the Corporation's above infraction, the issuance of the
9,283,188 Common Shares was completed without the receipt of final Exchange
approval and therefore the 9,283,188 Common Shares were issued in contravention
of section 2.4 of Form 2D Listing Agreement which requires the Corporation not
to issue any securities without prior approval of the Exchange.


2. Acquisition of Assets without Prior Exchange Approval

Background

As provided in greater detail below, the Corporation entered into three separate
agreements dated August 17, 2005, August 24, 2005 and June 10, 2005
(collectively the "Transaction Agreements"), wherein Life Sciences agreed to
purchase certain oil and gas assets (the "Target Assets"). The Corporation made
application for Exchange approval for two of the acquisitions of the Target
Assets. However, the Corporation failed to make an application for Exchange
approval for the third acquisition of Target Assets. Furthermore, the Exchange
has not, as of the date herein, issued final approval for any the acquisitions
of the Target Assets. Notwithstanding the lack of Exchange approval and the fact
that only a portion of the consideration for the Target Assets had been paid
pursuant to the Transaction Agreements, as set out in greater detail below, the
Corporation proceeded to perform a portion of its obligations under the
Transaction Agreements and proceeded to take possession of the Target Assets
from an accounting perspective. As such, the Target Assets were acquired without
Exchange approval. Therefore the Corporation contravened the following Exchange
Policies:


a. Section 5.5 of Exchange Policy 5.3 states that the Corporation must not close
any asset purchase transaction until it has received final Exchange approval.
The Corporation proceeded to perform a portion of its obligations under the
Transaction Agreements and proceeded to take possession of the Target Assets (as
per the Corporation's balance sheet) without receiving final Exchange approval.
Therefore, the Exchange has taken the position that the Corporation acted in
contravention of the spirit and intent of section 5.5 of Exchange Policy 5.3.


b. The Corporation also did not make an application for Exchange approval of one
of the acquisitions of Target Assets nor did the Corporation issue a news
release regarding such acquisition. Therefore, the Corporation contravened
section 5.2 of Exchange Policy 5.3 which requires that as soon as an agreement
is reached, the Corporation must complete the Exchange filing and issue a news
release disclosing the agreement.


3. Change in Share Capital without Exchange Approval

Background

On December 10, 2004 the Corporation held an annual and special meeting of its
shareholders, wherein, among other things the Corporation approved a
consolidation of its Common Shares on a 6:1 basis (the "6:1 Consolidation"). On
August 22, 2005 the Corporation made application to the Exchange for approval
for the 6:1 Consolidation, the Exchange never granted approval of this 6:1
Consolidation. Despite shareholder approval for the 6:1 Consolidation the
directors and officers of the Corporation did not elect to enact the 6:1
Consolidation at that time. It was not until February 13, 2008 that the 6:1
Consolidation was effected at Alberta Corporate Registries (the "Registry"). It
is the Corporation's position that such action was taken in error and as such
the Corporation has made an application to the Registry to reverse the 6:1
Consolidation, which application remains pending. There is no assurance that the
application will be granted. Notwithstanding the fact that the 6:1 Consolidation
was effected in error, the Exchange finds the Corporation violated Exchange
Policy by proceeding to effect the 6:1 Consolidation without having received
Exchange approval. Therefore the Corporation contravened the following Exchange
Policies:


a. Section 7.1 of Exchange Policy 5.8 states that consolidations are "subject to
both Exchange acceptance and shareholder approval". Notwithstanding the fact
that shareholder approval for such consolidation has been received, the
Corporation is in contravention of this requirement as the Exchange has never
issued final approval for such consolidation.


4. Failure to Hold an Annual General Meeting

Background

The Corporation has not held an annual general meeting of its shareholders since
December 10, 2004 and as such is violation of the Exchange Policies governing
issuer's meeting requirement. Specifically the Corporation contravened Section
3.1 of the Exchange Policy 3.2, which requires that an issuer must hold an
annual general meeting every 15 months.


In response to the Compliance Review the Corporation has established a
compliance and disclosure policy and a compliance and disclosure committee of
the Board or Directors to oversee the Corporation's compliance with such
policies and the Corporation's activities in this regard. Additionally, on the
management level the Corporation has appointed Mr. Robert C. Thomas as the
Corporation's compliance officer ("Compliance Officer") to be charged with
ensuring the Corporation's compliance with Exchange Requirements going forward.
Following the completion of the COB, Mr. Leonard Van Betuw will be appointed the
Compliance Officer for the Corporation.


Additional Information

A. Cease Trade Orders

On or about August 1, 2003 the Alberta Securities Commission ("ASC") and the
British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC") issued Cease Trade Orders
("CTOs") relative to Life Sciences for failure to file its annual financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 within the prescribe period of
time. The annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 were
filed on November 26, 2004 and the CTOs was revoked on or about July 4, 2005.


On or about May 19, 2006 the ASC and the BCSC issued CTOs relative to Life
Sciences for failure to file its annual financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2005 within the prescribe period of time. The annual financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 were filed, all relevant
continuous disclosure requirements and all associated fees to the ASC and the
BCSC were paid up to date and on or about January 12, 2007 the CTOs were
revoked.


On May 7, 2007 the ASC and the BCSC issued CTOs relative to Life Sciences for
failure to file annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006
within the prescribe period of time. On or about July 24, 2007 the CTOs were
revoked following the Corporation having met all the relevant continuous
disclosure requirements, having paid all associated fees to the ASC and having
filed the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006.


Any and all delays by the Corporation in filing its financial statements and or
responding to the above noted CTOs were the direct result of the financial
hardship of the Corporation during this period. The Corporation is not currently
subject to any CTOs.


B. Suspension of Common Shares from trading on the TSX Venture Exchange

On June 3, 2003, the Exchange suspended the Corporations shares from trading for
among other things failure to comply with disclosure requirements. The
Corporation has completed the Compliance Review in an effort to have such
suspension lifted.


Change of Business

Life Sciences is pleased to announce that pursuant to the Transaction
Agreements, Life Sciences has agreed to purchase the Target Assets, following
which the Corporation will become a "resource issuer" pursuant to the policies
of the TSX Venture Exchange. As stated above, although only a portion of the
consideration for the Target Assets has been paid pursuant to the Transaction
Agreements, all of the Target Assets have been, from an accounting perspective,
acquired and appear as assets starting on the December 31, 2007 audited
financial statements of Life Sciences. As such, the ratification of the
acquisition of the Target Assets, which are non-arm's length transactions, will
require the ratification of a majority of the minority of Life Sciences
shareholders.


Concurrently with, or immediately following, the completion of the ratification
of the acquisition of Target Assets, Life Sciences will dispose of the assets
and liabilities relating to the educational business currently carried on by
Life Sciences (the "Education Assets") to the current management of Life
Sciences at a price of $985,058, with the purchase price being paid entirely by
way of the assumption of all indebtedness and liabilities of Life Sciences
relating to the Education Assets.


Life Sciences intends that the acquisition of the Target Assets and the
disposition of the Educational Assets will constitute a COB in accordance with
the policies of the Exchange for which Life Sciences has made application to the
Exchange for approval. Following the receipt of shareholder approval and
ratification, completion of the COB, which includes the successful completion of
both the Brokered Offering and Non-Brokered Private Placement, as hereafter
defined, and the necessary regulatory and Exchange approvals, the Corporation
will be reclassified as a resources issuer under the name "Quattro Exploration
and Production Inc." and, assuming satisfactory completion of the Compliance
Review, the Common Shares will be listed for trading on the Exchange. The
acquisition of the Target Assets and the disposition of the Educational Assets
are non-arm's length transactions, and therefore subject to the approval of a
majority of the minority of Life Sciences shareholders. The closing of the COB
will result in a change of management and the board of directors of the
Corporation. The Corporation intends to amend its articles in conjunction with
the COB to effect a consolidation of the Common Shares on a 3:1 basis (the
"Share Consolidation"), such consolidation will require shareholder approval and
will occur after the close of the Non-Brokered Private Placement, the Brokered
Offering and the COB.


Description of the Target Assets and the Transaction Agreements being Ratified

The report, dated effective August 1, 2008, was prepared by Chapman Petroleum
Engineering Ltd., a firm of professional geologists and petroleum engineers
which is completely independent of Life Sciences Institute Inc. The estimate of
Prospective Resources has been prepared in accordance with NI 51-101 and COGE
Handbook standards. The report has been prepared by and/or supervised by a
"Qualified Reserves Evaluator and Auditor".


Prospective resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given
date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by
application of future development projects. Prospective resources have both an
associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. Prospective
resources are further subdivided in accordance with the level of certainty
associated with recoverable estimates assuming their discovery and development
and may be subclassified based on project maturity.


There is no certainty that any portion of the resources will be discovered. If
discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce
any portion of the resources. No reserves have been attributed to his property.


The Corporation is scheduled to complete a 3D/3C seismic survey comprising of 32
sq. miles in the fourth quarter of 2009, at a cost of $750,000, and upon
completion of the analysis will be finalizing the location of two exploratory
wells scheduled to be drilled in the first quarter of 2010, at a cost of
$1,400,000.


B. Nova Scotia Target Assets

The Corporation intends to review the priority data owned by the Corporation
over the next 12 months. The Corporation will be incorporating activities in the
Maritimes region of the past 5 years by way of a geological field study of
surface contacts and geophysical data to refine the targets previously
identified by the seismic data. The budgeted expenditures on the Nova Scotia
Target Assets are being limited to $5000 in 2010, due to the prospects being
weighted towards natural gas and the current pricing of same.


C. Seismic Target Assets

The seismic data base owned in North Central Alberta provides the Corporation a
position to evaluate lands that currently scheduled to expire in 2009 and 2010
and the Corporation is confident that by applying current processing and
interpretation techniques it will be positioned to identify previously
unidentifiable gas prospects. The budgeted expenditures relative to the Seismic
Target Assets are being limited to $5000 in 2010, due to the prospects being
weighted towards natural gas and the current pricing of same.


Offerings

The Corporation is also pleased to announce that it has engaged Wolverton to act
as agent, on a commercially reasonable efforts basis, in connection with an
offering by way of a SFOD for up to 20,000,000 units (each a "Brokered Unit") at
a price of approximately $0.10 per Brokered Unit (the "Issue Price") for gross
proceeds to Life Sciences of up to $2,000,000 (the "Brokered Offering"). The
Brokered Offering is contingent upon the Corporation filing with the Exchange
and the acceptance by the Exchange of among other things a SFOD and upon filing
an Annual Information Form prepared by the Corporation in accordance with
applicable securities regulatory requirements. Each Brokered Unit being
comprised of one Common Share of Life Sciences and one half of one
non-transferable Common Share purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to
acquire, for every whole warrant, one additional Common Share of Life Sciences
at a price of $0.12, for a period of 24 months from the date of the closing of
the Brokered Offering and additional one half of one non-transferable Common
Share purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire, for every whole
warrant, one additional Common Share of Life Sciences at a price of $0.18, for a
period of 36 months from the date of the closing of the Brokered Offering.
Wolverton will be paid a corporate finance fee of $27,000 plus GST, a commission
equal to 8% of the amount raised pursuant to the Brokered Offering, plus
expenses, and Wolverton will also receive an option to acquire Common Shares in
an amount which equals up to 8% of the number of Brokered Units sold pursuant
the Brokered Offering ("Broker's Warrants"), at the Issue Price, exercisable for
36 months from the close of the Offering.


The Corporation is further pleased to announce that it has arranged a
non-brokered private placement (the "Non-Brokered Private Placement") of up to
10,000,000 units (each a "Non-Brokered Unit") at a price of $0.05 per
Non-Brokered Unit for gross proceeds to Life Sciences of up to $500,000 which it
intends to close prior to the Brokered Offering and the COB. Each Non-Brokered
Unit consists of one Common Share of Life Sciences and one non-transferable
Common Share purchase warrant (a "Non-Brokered Warrant"). Each Non-Brokered
Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one additional Common Share of
Life Sciences at a price of $0.067, for a period of 24 months from the date of
the closing of the Non-Brokered Private Placement. The Corporation has agreed to
pay Wolverton a commission equal to 4% of the amount raised by Wolverton
pursuant to the Non-Brokered Private Placement.


The Corporation intends to use the proceeds relative to both the Brokered
Offering and the Non-Brokered Private Placement (the "Offering Proceeds") to
initially cover certain general administrative expenses and certain expenses
relative to maintaining the Target Assets. In addition, the Corporation intends
to use the Offering Proceeds to run a 3D/3C seismic survey over the land which
comprises the Saskatchewan Target Assets. Following analysis of the survey,
three exploration wells are forecast to be drilled to evaluate the oil target
formations and three additional shallow wells to evaluate the shallow gas
targets. Depending on results of the exploratory work, up to 20 oil wells and 20
gas wells may be drilled to develop these prospects.


There are currently 21,565,746 Common Shares of Life Sciences issued and
outstanding. Following the completion of the ratification of acquisition of the
Target Assets, the COB, the maximum offering pursuant to the Non-Brokered
Private Placement and the Brokered Offering and the Share Consolidation there
will be 17,630,249 Common Shares of Quattro Exploration and Production Inc.
issued and outstanding. It is expected that at such time Mr. Leonard Van Betuw,
will be a Control Person of Quattro as such terms is defined TSX Venture
Exchange Policy 1.1.


Proposed Management

Life Sciences' current management will continue as officers and directors of the
Corporation until the completion of the COB. At the meeting of Shareholders of
Life Sciences the following individuals will be presented for election as the
new board of directors of Life Sciences to carry the Corporation forward
following completion of the COB:


Leonard Van Betuw - President, Chief Executive Officer, Corporate Secretary and
Director. Leonard Van Betuw co founded Kinetex in 1998. On graduating with a BSc
in Geophysics from the University of Saskatchewan in 1987, he began his career
as a field service technician with Veritas Geophysical, currently known as
