Entry into Share Purchase Agreement

 

On May 17, 2021, Triterras Fintech Pte Limited (“Triterras Fintech”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Triterras, Inc. (“Triterras”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire all of the outstanding share capital of IB Holdings LTD (the “Company”), a privately-held United Arab Emirates-based supply chain finance company with operations in the United Arab Emirates and offices in Dubai and India, along with all of the share capital of Techfin Solutions FZCO (“Techfin”), a 99% owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Acquisition”). Following the Acquisition, the Company and Techfin will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Triterras.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, by and among Triterras Fintech and the individuals listed in Schedule 1 thereto as sellers (the “Sellers”), Triterras Fintech has agreed to acquire all of the shares of the Company and Techfin for (i) an initial cash payment of US$4.0 million, (ii) deferred cash consideration of US$2.0 million payable in two US$1.0 million tranches upon the earlier of each of the first and second anniversary of the initial cash payment, or the achievement of cumulative revenue milestones and (iii) up to US$2.0 million in earn-out consideration, subject to achievement of certain revenue milestones and continued service with the Company of certain members of the Company’s founding team. The Sellers will be additionally entitled to receive a portion of the proceeds of any sale of the Company’s e-commerce business by Triterras within 24 months of the closing of the Acquisition.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties and, in connection with the Acquisition, each of the management team members of the Company will be subject to non-compete and non-solicitation covenants with regard to the Company and its subsidiaries for eighteen months following such individual’s termination of service with the Company or its subsidiaries. The Purchase Agreement also contains post-closing indemnification obligations pursuant to which the parties have agreed to indemnify each other against losses resulting from certain events, including breach of warranties and certain other matters. The closing of the Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among other things, the absence of any materially adverse change in the prospects of the Company prior to the closing date.

Forward Looking Statements

This Report on Form 6-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, our expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside our control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to risks relating to the completion of and/or timing of the Acquisition as well as risks and uncertainties incorporated by reference under “Risk Factors” in the Registrant’s Form 20-F (001-39693) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 16, 2020 (the “Form 20-F”) and in the Registrant’s other filings with the SEC.
