VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Immutable Holdings Inc. (formerly Bexar Ventures Inc.) (the “Company” or “Immutable”) is pleased to announce that further to its news release dated August 4, 2021, the Company has completed the previously announced business combination (the “Transaction”) with Immutable Holdings Inc. (“Former Immutable”) and has received final approval to list the Subordinate Voting Shares (as defined below) on the NEO Exchange (the “Exchange”). The Transaction was undertaken pursuant to a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) dated August 4, 2021, among the Company, Former Immutable, 1309023 B.C. Ltd. (“Finco”), Bexar Ventures BC Subco Inc. (“BC Subco”) and Bexar Ventures Delaware Subco Inc. (“Delaware Subco”).
In connection with the Transaction, the Company has changed its name from “Bexar Ventures Inc.” to “Immutable Holdings Inc.” (the “Name Change”). Immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction, the Company consolidated its common shares (the “Bexar Shares”) on the basis of one post-consolidation Bexar Share for every 12.4346 pre-consolidation Bexar Shares (the “Consolidation”), and, immediately thereafter, amended its articles to (i) reclassify the Bexar Shares as subordinate voting shares (the “Subordinate Voting Shares”) and amend the terms of such shares, (ii) remove its existing class of preferred shares, and (iii) create a class of multiple voting shares (the “Multiple Voting Shares”). No fractional shares were issued.
Immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction, each subscription receipt in the capital of Finco (the “Subscription Receipts”) was converted into one Class A common share (each, a “Class A Finco Share”) or one Class B common share (each, a “Class B Finco Share”) of Finco, as applicable, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Subscription Receipts and the subscription receipt agreement governing the Subscription Receipts. Following which, Bexar, Finco and BC Subco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bexar, completed a three-cornered amalgamation under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, pursuant to which Finco shareholders (including former holders of the Subscription Receipts) received one Subordinate Voting Share in exchange for each Class A Finco Share held or one Multiple Voting Share in exchange for each 1,000 Class B Finco Shares held, as applicable, and Finco and BC Subco amalgamated (the “Amalgamation”). Immediately following the Amalgamation, the resulting entity (“Amalco”) was wound-up and dissolved, pursuant to which all of the assets of Amalco were transferred to Immutable.
Concurrently with completion of the Amalgamation, Bexar, Former Immutable and Delaware Subco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bexar, completed a three-cornered merger (the “Merger”) under the laws of the State of Delaware pursuant to which Former Immutable and Delaware Subco merged, with Former Immutable continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Immutable. As a result of the Merger, Bexar acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Former Immutable (the “Immutable Shares”) in exchange for (i) Subordinate Voting Shares on the basis of approximately 80.9643 Subordinate Voting Shares for each Immutable Share and (ii) Multiple Voting Shares on the basis of approximately 0.0809643 of one Multiple Voting Share for each Immutable Share.
Upon the receipt by the Exchange of final listing approval, the Company will list 19,293,456 Subordinate Voting Shares on the Exchange, with such shares expected to begin trading on or about September 28, 2021 (the “Trading Resumption Date”) under the symbol “HOLD”. In addition, there are presently 72,920.083 Multiple Voting Shares (being 72,920,083 Subordinate Voting Shares on an “as-converted” basis), 375,461 compensation options, each exercisable for one Subordinate Voting Share, and 237,241 Subordinate Voting Share purchase warrants issued and outstanding. Assuming conversion of all Multiple Voting Shares into Subordinate Voting Shares, there would be an aggregate of 92,213,539 Subordinate Voting Shares issued and outstanding.
Upon closing of the Transaction, the board of directors and management of Immutable were reconstituted as follows in place of the previous directors and officers of Immutable:
- Jordan Fried – Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Director
- Steven Koscik – Interim Chief Financial Officer
- David Namdar – President
- Kyle Armour – Chief Operating Officer

- Happy Walters – Director
Biographical descriptions of each director and member of the senior management team of Immutable is included in the filing statement of Immutable dated September 24, 2021 (the “Filing Statement”).
In connection with the completion of the Transaction, BF Borgers CPA PC, at its principal office in Lakewood, Colorado, will replace Charleton and Company as the auditor of Immutable. In addition, the fiscal year end of Immutable will become the year end of Former Immutable which is December 31.
Trading in the common shares of the Company was halted by the Canadian Securities Exchange on April 14, 2021 following the announcement of the entering into of the Business Combination Agreement and trading of the Subordinate Voting Shares is expected to remain halted until the Trading Resumption Date. Effective as of the close immediately preceding the Trading Resumption Date, the Company’s common shares will be delisted from the Canadian Securities Exchange.
