CUPERTINO, CA, June 6, 2018 /CNW/ - (TSXV:BWLK) – Boardwalktech Software Corp. (formerly, Wood Composite Technologies Inc.) ("Boardwalktech Software" or the "Resulting Issuer") is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced business combination with Boardwalktech, Inc. ("Boardwalktech "). Pending final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), the common shares of Boardwalktech Software are expected to commence trading on the TSXV at the open of the market on June 11, 2018 under the symbol "BWLK".

"With this Transaction completed, Boardwalktech is well positioned to execute our strategy to deliver next-generation enterprise applications to our customers and partners," said Andrew T.

"As the first company to develop a now patented digital ledger database technology designed specifically for collaborative, multi-party enterprise applications, our vision is to provide products for the extended enterprise which our customers can use to run mission-critical applications managing the digital exchange of information internally, and with their customers and suppliers. The combination of our patented technology, established customer-base and the Boardwalk Enterprise Blockchain data management platform, positions Boardwalk to leverage new growth opportunities."

The Transaction
Pursuant to the terms of the business combination (the "Transaction"), the Resulting Issuer acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of Boardwalktech. The Transaction constitutes a reverse take-over of the Resulting Issuer, with the Resulting Issuer being renamed "Boardwalktech Software Corp."  Under the terms of a merger agreement among the Resulting Issuer, Wood Composite US Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Resulting Issuer) and Boardwalktech, the Resulting Issuer acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of Boardwalktech by way of a reverse triangular merger under the laws of California, following which the merged company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Resulting Issuer. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, all of the outstanding securities of Boardwalktech were exchanged for equivalent securities of the Resulting Issuer on a one-for-one basis (following the consolidation of the Resulting Issuer's common shares on a 410:1 basis), such that former securityholders of Boardwalktech continued as securityholders of the Resulting Issuer. As a result, 6,292,685 common shares of the Resulting Issuer and 3,400,622 convertible preferred shares of the Resulting Issuer were issued to former securityholders of Boardwalktech and former debtholders of the Resulting Issuer, including 1,925,729 Resulting Issuer common shares issued to former holders of subscription receipts of Boardwalktech issued pursuant to its previously-announced private placement completed on February 28, 2018.

As a result of the completion of the Transaction, there are: (i) 6,292,685 common shares of the Resulting Issuer; (ii) 3,400,622 convertible preferred shares of the Resulting Issuer (which are convertible into common shares of the Resulting Issuer on a one-for-one basis); (iii) 399,424 common share purchase warrants of the Resulting Issuer; (iv) 931,965 options to purchase common shares of the Resulting Issuer; (v) 134,801 compensation options of the Resulting Issuer; and (vi) 875,000 restricted stock units of the Resulting Issuer issued and outstanding.

The Exchange conditionally approved the Transaction on May 28, 2018. Upon receipt of the Exchange's final approval, it is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer will be classified as a Tier 2 technology issuer on the Exchange.

Further information on the Transaction can be found in the Resulting Issuer's filing statement dated May 30, 2018, which is available under the Resulting Issuer's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
