Pro-Trans Ventures Inc. ("Pro-Trans") and SPVC Capital Corporation ("SPVC") (TSX VENTURE:SPV.P) are pleased to announce that SPVC intends to purchase up to 1,900,000 common shares in the capital of Pro-Trans (the "Common Shares") at $0.15 per Common Share for total proceeds of up to $285,000 representing substantially all of SPVC's assets. Pro-Trans announces its intention to acquire through a wholly owned subsidiary (the "Subsidiary"), comprised in the first part of the acquisition of a total of ten highway tractors, used in the transportation of semi-trailers (the "Units"), for an aggregate purchase price of $1,200,000 and to lease the Units (the "Acquisition") to a commercial trucking company. Pro-Trans is a capital pool company and intends for the Acquisition to constitute the "Qualifying Transaction" of the Corporation as such term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). Private Placement Pro-Trans and SPVC have entered into a letter of intent dated May 28, 2010 with respect to a proposed non-brokered private placement, pursuant to which SPVC will purchase up to 1,900,000 Common Shares of Pro-Trans at $0.15 per Common Share for total proceeds of up to $285,000 (the "Private Placement"). The consideration paid by SPVC will be all or substantially all of the remaining assets of SPVC. Pro-Trans and SPVC intend for the Private Placement and subsequent Acquisition to constitute a "Combination", as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange. The primary purpose of the Private Placement is to aggregate capital so that the shareholders of SPVC will become shareholders of Pro-Trans and to increase the working capital of Pro-Trans. The terms of the Private Placement have been negotiated at arm's length. It is intended that following completion of the Private Placement the Class "A" shares of SPVC (the "SPVC Shares") will be delisted from the Exchange and SPVC will be dissolved (the "Dissolution"). The Pro-Trans shares held by SPVC will be distributed to its shareholders pro rata to their respective percentage of shares of SPVC in connection with the Dissolution. The Private Placement and the Dissolution are both subject to the approval of the shareholders of SPVC. SPVC has called a special meeting of its shareholders, to be held on June 30, 2010, to obtain such approval. Purchase of Units and Lease Transaction Pro-Trans intends to purchase, on industry standard terms and conditions through the Subsidiary, a fleet of ten highway tractors for transporting semi-trailers, (previously defined as the Units) for a purchase price of $120,000 per Unit or $1,200,000 in the aggregate. Funding for approximately 50% of the Acquisition price will come from the existing working capital of Pro-Trans. The remaining funding for the Acquisition, being approximately $605,000, will be provided through a revolving line of credit with the Pro-Trans' and the Subsidiary's bank. The terms of this line of credit provide a maximum allowable draw of $625,000 with repayments scheduled over 48 months. Interest is payable monthly at prime plus 2.25% per annum. The Units will be pledged as collateral security for this operating line of credit facility. Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Subsidiary will enter into lease agreements for all of the Units with the Yanke Group a large Canadian transportation company. The lease agreements will contain terms and conditions between the parties that are customary for transactions of a similar nature. The lease agreements are currently an initial lease term of 4 years. Pro-Trans is a capital pool company and intends for the Acquisition to constitute its "Qualifying Transaction" as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange. Upon completion of the Acquisition, it is expected that Pro-Trans will be a Tier 2 issuer in the Diversified Industries sector of the Exchange.
