Inovent announces qualifying transaction with Canada Jetlines

VANCOUVER, July 2, 2014 /CNW/ – David H. Brett, CEO, Inovent Capital Inc. (TSX Venture – IVQ.P, “Inovent”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent (“LOI”) with Canada Jetlines Ltd. (“Jetlines”) pursuant to which the parties agree to negotiate the terms of a business combination transaction (the “Proposed Transaction”). Inovent is a capital pool company in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”). Jetlines is a start-up airline aiming to become Canada’s first ultra-low cost carrier (“ULCC”). The Proposed Transaction will constitute Inovent’s qualifying transaction in accordance with the policies of the TSXV. Jetlines and Inovent are at arm’s length and the Proposed Transaction does not constitute a non-arm’s length qualifying transaction.

“Jetlines is well on its way to providing Canadians with an exciting and affordable new air travel alternative,” said Jetlines CEO Jim Scott. “Our proven and dedicated team has been very busy preparing to proudly serve Canada soon.”

Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, it is anticipated that the share capital of the Resulting Issuer (as defined in the policies of the TSXV) will be as follows on an undiluted basis:

the Proposed Transaction values Jetlines at $3,000,000.

receipt of a report of a sponsor in respect of the Proposed Transaction or waiver from the sponsorship requirement by the TSXV. Inovent anticipates applying for a waiver of the sponsorship requirement in reliance upon completion of Concurrent Financing.

upon execution of the LOI, Inovent advanced to Jetlines a deposit of $25,000;

upon receipt of approval of the TSXV and no later than July 31, 2014, Inovent will advance to Jetlines a refundable deposit in the amount of $140,000 (the “Refundable Deposit”). The Refundable Deposit will be secured and will be refundable if the LOI is terminated in certain instances.
