Prestige Telecom Inc. ("Prestige" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PR) of Montreal, Quebec, announces that it has amended some of the terms of its previously announced acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Radian Communication Services (Canada) Limited ("Radian"), as well as certain United States assets of an affiliate of Radian (the "Acquisition"). After completion of the Acquisition, Prestige will provide outsourced telecommunications infrastructure services to wireless, wireline, cable television networks and OEM companies across Canada. Prestige will be well-positioned to capitalize on the announced capital expenditure plans for new wireless networks and network build-outs of Canada's incumbents and new entrants following the Advanced Wireless Services spectrum auction. Under the revised terms of the Radian purchase agreement, the purchase price of Radian will be approximately $20.3 million, plus assumed debt of approximately $0.6 million, subject to adjustments. The consideration paid to the owners of Radian will consist of: - Cash of $7.7 million; - Approximately $6.3 million in common shares of Prestige (the "Common Shares") at a deemed issue price of $0.25 per share; and - Approximately $6.3 million in the form of convertible notes bearing interest at 10% per annum if paid in cash or 12% per annum if interest is paid in kind ("PIK") in the form of additional PIK convertible notes (the "Convertible Notes"), which Convertible Notes will be convertible at a price of $0.31 per share for a period of three years. Financing for the Acquisition will be as follows: - The Company is in negotiations to establish a bank credit facility (the "Credit Facility") in the anticipated authorized amount of $17.0 million with a major Canadian financial institution, subject to satisfactory completion of any outstanding due diligence, and satisfaction of all outstanding conditions precedent; - Prestige intends to complete a concurrent private placement offering of up to 28,000,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.25 per share for gross proceeds of up to $7.0 million (the "Private Placement Financing"); - Prestige intends to complete a concurrent private placement of up to $4.5 million principal amount of convertible notes with the same terms as the Convertible Notes being issued pursuant to the Acquisition (the "Convertible Note Financing"); and - Prestige intends to complete a brokered private placement of a minimum of 4,000,000 and a maximum of 12,000,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.25 per share for gross proceeds of a minimum of $1 million and a maximum of $3 million (the "Brokered Private Placement Financing"). The Common Shares issued pursuant to the Brokered Private Placement Financing are eligible and meet the criteria set under the Quebec SMB Growth Stock Plan (ACCRO), which program allows eligible institutions to claim a 100% deduction on their Quebec taxes for any ACCRO eligible shares they purchase, and all or a portion thereof may be sold to such eligible institutions. Prestige intends to use the gross proceeds of the Credit Facility, the Private Placement Financing, the Convertible Note Financing and the Brokered Private Placement Financing, to fund the cash portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition, to repay Prestige's current bank credit facility, to pay the costs of the Acquisition, and for working capital purposes. "We are very pleased to proceed with the acquisition of Radian, creating a $100 million telecommunications infrastructure services company with a national footprint and with wireless, wireline and cable TV network expertise," said Pierre Yves Methot, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Prestige. "In the past few months, following the AWS spectrum auction in Canada, telecommunications companies have acted quickly to announce plans to utilize their new spectrum, with incumbents announcing plans to upgrade their wireless networks and new entrants announcing plans for network build outs. We are now well-positioned to take advantage of the rapid expansion and upgrading of our customers' networks, as well as the growing trend to increased outsourcing of infrastructure services by these telecommunications companies." Blackmont Capital Inc. ("Blackmont" or the "Agent") was retained by Prestige to act as financial advisor in connection with the Acquisition of Radian and Prestige has engaged Blackmont, to act as agent of Prestige on a commercially reasonable efforts basis for the Brokered Private Placement Financing and the Private Placement Financing. In connection with the Brokered Private Placement Financing, the Agent will be paid a cash commission of 8%, will be reimbursed for its expenses, and will be issued agent's compensation options to purchase up to 8% of the Common Shares issued under the Brokered Private Placement Financing. In connection with the Private Placement Financing, the Agent will be paid a cash advisory fee of 4.5%. The Acquisition of Radian is expected to close concurrent with the closing of the Private Placement Financing, Convertible Note Financing, Credit Facility and Brokered Private Placement Financing, and is also subject to the receipt of required regulatory and other approvals; the entering into of non-competition agreements with certain of the Radian vendors; the entering into of a qualification rights agreement among Prestige, Radian's shareholder and other parties; and the receipt of all necessary third party consents. The Company is in negotiations with an arm's length private entity based in Montreal, Quebec (the "Major Investor"), pursuant to which, in the event such transactions are completed, the Major Investor would acquire 18,000,000 Common Shares pursuant to the Private Placement Financing and $4,500,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes pursuant to the Convertible Note Financing. Upon completion of the Acquisition, Private Placement Financing, Convertible Note Financing, Credit Facility and Brokered Private Placement Financing, a nominee of the Major Investor will join the Board of Directors of Prestige and Brian W. McFadden will resign as a Director to make room on the Board for the nominee.
