Lemontonic Inc. Announces Final Terms of Proposed Financing and Execution of Amalgamation Agreement

TSX VENTURE: LEM-X

TORONTO, Sept. 30 /CNW/ - Lemontonic Inc. ("Lemontonic" or the
"Corporation") (TSX Venture: LEM-X) today announced it has entered into an
engagement letter with Research Capital Corporation ("Research Capital"),
pursuant to which the terms of its previously announced private placement will
be completed.
The private placement will consist of approximately 23,000,000
subscription receipts of Lemontonic (the "Subscription Receipts") at a price
of $0.085 per receipt (the "Offering Price") for gross proceeds of
approximately $1,955,000 (the "Lemontonic Private Placement"), to be completed
in one or more closings. Proceeds from the Private Placement of Subscription
Receipts will be held in escrow (the "Escrowed Funds") until the earlier of:
(a) the concurrent closing of the amalgamation of Lemontonic with Pioneering
Technology Inc. ("Pioneering") (the "Amalgamation" or "Business Combination")
to form a new company called Pioneering Technology Inc. ("New Pioneering");
(b) four months and a day after the closing of the Lemontonic Private
Placement (the "Amalgamation Deadline"); and (c) three business days after
receipt of the election of the subscriber to receive units of Lemontonic. Each
Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder, upon release of the Escrowed
Funds from escrow, to receive one unit (the "Units") of Lemontonic, each
consisting of one Common Share of Lemontonic and one share purchase warrant
(the "Warrants"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one
additional Common Share of Lemontonic at an exercise price of $0.15 per Common
Share for a period of two years from the date of issuance. Should the
Amalgamation not close by the Amalgamation Deadline, holders of Subscription
Receipts will be entitled: (i) to be refunded the aggregate amount of the
subscription price paid, plus interest; or (ii) at the subscriber's election,
to receive Units of Lemontonic. Research Capital will be paid a commission and
will be granted agents' options (the "Lemontonic New Agents' Options") to
purchase Units in the aggregate amount of 10% of the number of Subscription
Receipts issued pursuant to the Lemontonic Private Placement at the Offering
Price for a period of two years from the closing date.
Lemontonic intends to complete the Lemontonic Private Placement in escrow
on October 11, 2005, and to use the proceeds of the Lemontonic Private
Placement for general working capital purposes of New Pioneering, in the
discretion of the Board of Directors of New Pioneering, after completion of
the Amalgamation.
Lemontonic is also pleased to announce it has entered into an
amalgamation agreement with Pioneering, pursuant to which the Corporation and
Pioneering have agreed to complete the Amalgamation and continue as New
Pioneering.
Pursuant to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement: (i) the holders of
the Pioneering Common Shares will receive one common share of New Pioneering
(the "New Pioneering Common Shares") with a deemed value of $0.085 per share
for each Pioneering Common Share owned; and (ii) the holders of the Lemontonic
Common Shares will receive one New Pioneering Common Share and one common
share of New Lemontonic (defined below) (the "New Lemontonic Shares") for each
existing Lemontonic Common Share owned. The outstanding Lemontonic agent's
options, warrants and stock options shall be replaced with agent's options,
warrants and stock options of New Pioneering with identical terms.
As previously announced, it is a condition of the Amalgamation that
Lemontonic either sell or shut down its existing online dating business.
Lemontonic has in a previous press release announced that it has entered into
a letter agreement and an amending letter agreement (the "Silverback Letter
Agreement") with Silverback Media Limited ("Silverback Media"), pursuant to
which Lemontonic has agreed to sell its existing online dating business to
Silverback Media. Lemontonic will transfer its existing online dating business
(the "Lemontonic Reorganization") to a new subsidiary ("New Lemontonic") and
pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, shareholders of Lemontonic will
receive New Pioneering Common Shares, as well as New Lemontonic Shares, such
that shareholders of Lemontonic will own 81.5% of New Lemontonic and New
Pioneering will own the remaining 18.5%. After completion of the Lemontonic
Reorganization and the Amalgamation, pursuant to the Silverback Letter
Agreement, New Lemontonic and Silverback Media then intend to complete a
merger by way of amalgamation or arrangement (the "Silverback Merger").
Pursuant to the Silverback Merger, the shareholders of New Lemontonic will
receive shares of Silverback Media on the basis of an aggregate of
CDN$14,972,000 in shares of Silverback Media at a price of US$2.00 per share,
or lower in certain circumstances, for an aggregate of 6,327,916 shares of
Silverback Media (based on an exchange ratio of US$0.8453 for each CDN$1.00)
to be issued to all shareholders of New Lemontonic. Of the New Lemontonic
Shares outstanding, 81.5% will be owned by shareholders of Lemontonic and
18.5% will be owned by New Pioneering.
