TORONTO, June 9, 2023 /CNW/ - Mind Cure Health Inc. (CSE: MCUR) (OTCQB: MCURF) (FRA: 6MH)  (the "Corporation" or "Mind Cure") is pleased to announce that in connection with the Corporation's previously announced reverse takeover transaction (the "Proposed Transaction") with LNG Energy Group Inc. ("LNG Energy"), LNG Energy closed the initial tranche of a private placement of 31,229,630 subscription receipts of LNG Energy (the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.50 per Subscription Receipt (the "Initial Subscription Receipt Financing") and together with any future tranche or tranches, the "Subscription Receipt Financing") for aggregate gross proceeds of $15,614,815. Canaccord Genuity Corp. ("Canaccord") and Eight Capital (together with Canaccord, the "Co-Lead Agents") acted as co-lead Agents and joint bookrunners in connection with the Subscription Receipt Financing, with a syndicate of agents that included Haywood Securities Inc. (together with the Co-Lead Agents, the "Agents").

In connection with the Proposed Transaction and the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, each Subscription Receipt shall be automatically converted, without payment of additional consideration or further action by the holder thereof, for one unit (each, a "Unit"). Each Unit shall be comprised of one common share (each, a "Common Share") in the capital of the Corporation (the "Resulting Issuer") and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"), subject to adjustment in certain events. The escrow release conditions are set forth in the subscription receipt agreement (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement"), which was entered into among Computershare Investor Services Inc., LNG Energy, Mind Cure and the Co-Lead Agents (the "Escrow Release Conditions") concurrently with closing of the Initial Subscription Receipt Financing. Each Warrant that will comprise a Unit underlying the Subscription Receipts will be exercisable on a Cashless Exercise (as defined herein) basis, provided that it is not prohibited by the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") or any other stock exchange upon which the Common Shares are then listed, for $0.60 (the "Exercise Price") for a period of three years following the date on which the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied.  LNG Energy has committed to use its best efforts to list the Warrants for trading on the Exchange.

If, following the completion of the Proposed Transaction (which is one of the Escrow Release Conditions), the closing price of the Common Shares on the Exchange is higher than $1.50 on each of 20 trading days within any 30 day trading period, the Resulting Issuer may, by notice to the holders of Warrants (the "Acceleration Notice") accelerate the expiry date of all of the Warrants to not earlier than the date that is 30 days following the delivery of such Acceleration Notice.

Upon exercise of the Warrants, the holder of a Warrant being exercised shall be entitled to receive that number of Common Shares that is the equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

"VWAP" means the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the Exchange calculated by dividing the total value by the total volume of such securities traded for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the exercise of a Warrant.

The gross proceeds of the sale of the Subscription Receipt Financing, less equivalents will be deposited in escrow with Computershare until the satisfaction of the following Escrow Release Conditions: (a) the definitive agreement regarding the Proposed Transaction (the "Definitive Agreement") shall have been entered into by LNG Energy and Mind Cure; (b) written confirmation from each of LNG Energy and Mind Cure that ‎all conditions precedent to the completion of the Proposed Transaction have been satisfied or ‎waived;‎ (c) Mind Cure shall have obtained the requisite board approval necessary to complete the Proposed Transaction; (d)  Mind Cure shall have completed the consolidation required by the Definitive Agreement; (f) LNG Energy having completed the debt financing of at least U.S.$70,000,000; (e) prior to the closing of the Proposed Transaction an aggregate minimum of $25,000,000 (less equivalents) shall be deposited with Computershare; (g) LNG Energy having completed the continuance of LNG Energy from the province of Ontario into the province of British Columbia as approved by the securityholders of LNG Energy; (h) Mind Cure and LNG Energy shall have completed a non-brokered private placements for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4,600,000 in order to fund a deposit in connection with the acquisition of Lewis Energy Colombia Inc. ("LEC"); (i) the Common Shares being approved for listing on the ‎Exchange;‎ (j) LNG Energy, or a wholly-owned subsidiary of LNG Energy, shall have completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of LEC, which indirectly holds a fifty percent (50%) working interest in the SSJN-1 block located onshore in Colombia as well as certain other assets, including development and exploration blocks; (k) the receipt of all required regulatory, shareholder and third-party ‎approvals, if any, required in connection with the Proposed Transaction and ‎the listing of the Common Shares on the Exchange and the delisting of the common shares of Mind Cure and the common share purchase warrants of Mind Cure from the CSE;‎ (l) neither LNG Energy nor Mind Cure, as applicable, being in breach or default of any of its covenants or obligations that have not been waived under the Subscription Receipt Agreement or the agency agreement between the Agents and LNG Energy; and (m) such other customary escrow release conditions required by LNG Energy, Mind Cure or Canaccord, on behalf of the Agents, acting reasonably.

In connection with the Initial Subscription Receipt Financing, the Agents will receive a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Offering and broker warrants equal to 6.0% of the total number of Subscription Receipts (the "Broker Warrants") issued under the Offering. With respect to certain president's list purchasers designated by LNG Energy, the Agents' cash commission is reduced to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds and the Broker Warrants is reduced to 3.0% of the total number of Subscription Receipts in respect of certain president's list purchasers designated by LNG Energy. Each Broker Warrant will be exercisable at a price of $0.50 to acquire one Common Share and one Warrant for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the date on which the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied.

LNG Energy intends to apply the net proceeds of the sale of Subscription Receipts to the acquisition of Lewis Energy Colombia, Inc. and for general corporate purposes of the Resulting Issuer.

In connection with the Proposed Transaction, Mind Cure closed a non-brokered subscription receipt financing in the amount of $133,000 on substantially similar terms to the Initial Subscription Receipt Financing in order to facilitate registered accounts.

Securityholders of the Corporation will meet today to approve the Proposed Transaction. Assuming the approval of the Proposed Transaction, the Corporation will, following receipt of such approval, return to the Supreme Court of British Columbia to seek a final order to implement the Proposed Transaction. The closing of the Proposed Transaction is also subject to receipt of certain other approvals (including TSXV approval and satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions) and the satisfaction or waiver of certain other customary closing conditions. Assuming all conditions are satisfied, the Corporation expects that the closing of the Proposed Transaction will be completed on or about June 15, 2023.
