Logan International Inc. Announces Completion of Subsidiary Sales
Marketwired
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Oct 18, 2016) - Logan International Inc. ("Logan") (LII.TO) today announced that it has completed the sale of all of the outstanding shares of its subsidiaries, Logan SuperAbrasives Inc. and Logan Completion Systems, Inc., both of which are Texas corporations, and the sale of substantially all of the assets (other than the assets required to operate the business of the Logan Oil Tools Canada division) of its subsidiary, Logan Completion Systems Inc., an Alberta corporation, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$3.86 million (collectively, the "Subsidiary Sales"). The purchaser was a private entity located in Houston, Texas.
As previously announced by Logan on August 28, 2016, Logan entered into a definitive agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rubicon Oilfield International Holdings, L.P. ("Rubicon"), pursuant to which Rubicon will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Logan for CDN$1.49 per common share (the "Arrangement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Logan and its subsidiaries were permitted to continue with their efforts to complete the Subsidiary Sales, provided that such Subsidiary Sales were completed within a specified timeframe, with any net proceeds received by Logan or its applicable subsidiary pursuant to the Subsidiary Sales to be added to the CDN$1.49 price per common share payable to the holders of the Logan common shares (the "Shareholders") under the Arrangement. Due to Rubicon agreeing to be subject to certain post-closing liabilities in order to facilitate the closing of the Subsidiary Sales, Logan and Rubicon are currently in the process of finalizing the amount to be deducted from the gross proceeds to Logan of the Subsidiary Sales. Logan will issue a press release that sets forth the amount of the increase in the consideration to be paid to Shareholders under the Arrangement on a per common share basis once the net proceeds to Logan of the Subsidiary Sales have been determined after taking into account the amount to be retained by Rubicon and related transaction expenses.
A special meeting of the Shareholders will be held on October 20, 2016 to consider, and, if thought fit, approve the Arrangement. Assuming, among other things, that Shareholder approval is obtained, closing of the Arrangement is anticipated to occur on or about October 21, 2016.
Full details of the Arrangement, including detailed instructions for Shareholders on obtaining the cash consideration to which they are entitled under the Arrangement, can be found in the management information circular of Logan filed under the profile of Logan at www.sedar.com.
