01 Maggio 2024 - 3:31PM
Business Wire
Mogo Inc. (NASDAQ:MOGO) (TSX:MOGO) (“Mogo” or the “Company”),
today expressed its support for the full slate of nine directors to
stand for election at the 2024 annual meeting of WonderFi
Technologies Inc. (TSX:WNDR) (OTCQB: WONDF) (“WonderFi”), including
the three new nominees. The Company also expressed its support for
the cooperation agreement between WonderFi and KAOS Capital Ltd.
(“KAOS”) (the “Agreement”).
“I would like to express our support for the nine directors
standing for election at WonderFi’s upcoming AGM and welcome the
new director nominees to the to-be reconstituted board,” said David
Feller, Founder & CEO of Mogo. “We view the cooperation
agreement between WonderFi and KAOS as an important,
shareholder-friendly step that will enable WonderFi to begin to
fully realize the growth potential of its position as the only
fully-regulated crypto exchange in the Canadian market.”
In connection with the Agreement, Mogo entered into an expanded
mutual standstill with WonderFi. Additionally, all parties to the
WonderFi investor rights agreements, including Mogo (collectively,
the “IRA Holders”), have consented to a multi-year voting support
agreement whereby the IRA Holders have agreed to modified board
nomination rights, to vote with management on certain key issues,
as well as to keep the WonderFi board at nine members through the
2026 annual general meeting. Mogo will maintain its one seat on
WonderFi’s board.
Mogo has also agreed to sell up to 20 million of its
approximately 87 million WonderFi shares over time and subject to
certain terms and conditions. Mogo also granted KAOS a right of
first refusal over up to 20 million WonderFi shares that Mogo may
sell before the WonderFi 2026 annual general meeting, which applies
to the same 20 million shares Mogo agreed to dispose of with
WonderFi.
Mr. Feller commented, “Our decision to begin
strategically selling a portion of our holdings is not a step back
in our support; rather, it represents a substantial monetization
opportunity for Mogo while enabling WonderFi to potentially add new
shareholders that can support its next phase of growth. Our
commitment to the potential of WonderFi’s platform is unwavering
and we very much look forward to working with the new WonderFi
board to create significant value for shareholders.”
Early Warning Report
In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument
62-104 - Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids, Mogo will file an early
warning report under WonderFi’s SEDAR+ profile as a result of a
change in material fact contained in its most recently filed early
warning report dated March 27, 2024, such change being as set out
below.
The early warning report is not being filed pursuant to any
acquisition or disposition of securities of WonderFi. On March 27,
2024, Mogo and KAOS entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting
Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, they agreed to
vote their WonderFi shares for certain individuals for election to
the WonderFi board at the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders of
WonderFi. As a result of entering into the Voting Agreement, Mogo
and KAOS may have been presumed to be acting jointly or in concert
under applicable securities laws.
On April 30, 2024, concurrently with KAOS and WonderFi entering
into the Agreement, Mogo entered into an amendment to its investor
rights agreement (the “Amendment”) dated April 2, 2023 with
WonderFi setting forth certain amendments to existing rights
thereunder and certain additional new rights agreed to by Mogo and
WonderFi. In connection with the entering into of the Agreement,
KAOS and Mogo also agreed to terminate the Voting Agreement. As a
result of the termination of the Voting Agreement, Mogo and KAOS
are no longer presumed to be acting jointly or in concert under
applicable securities laws.
Immediately before the execution of the Amendment and
termination of the Voting Agreement, Mogo had beneficial ownership
of, indirectly through Mogo Financial Inc., and exercised control
and direction over, 86,962,639 WonderFi shares, representing
approximately 13.35% of the WonderFi shares issued and outstanding
as at December 31, 2023 (as disclosed in WonderFi’s annual
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023). Mogo’s
ownership and control of WonderFi shares remained unchanged
following the execution of the Amendment and termination of the
Voting Agreement.
A copy of the early warning report relating to the foregoing
will be available under WonderFi’s profile on SEDAR+ at
www.sedarplus.com, and may also be obtained by contacting Mogo at
