Magical Brands Financing
Magical Brands intends to complete a concurrent financing consisting of a minimum of
$3,000,000 up to $5,000,000 (the “Offering”) consisting of a combination of (a) a non-brokered private placement (the “Non-Brokered Offering”) of Magical Brands Shares on substantially similar terms to the Brokered Offering (as defined below), and (b) a brokered private placement (the “Brokered Offering”) of subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts”) of a special purpose company to be established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magical Brands (“Finco”), at a price of $0.35 per Subscription Receipt (the “Issue Price”). Each Subscription Receipt is exchangeable for one (1) unit of Finco (each, a “Finco Unit”). Each Finco Unit is comprised of one common share of Finco and one half common share purchase warrant of Finco (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Upon confirmation that all conditions precedent to the Transaction, other than the release of the Escrowed Proceeds (as defined below) (the “Escrow Release Conditions”), have been satisfied or waived, each Finco Unit underlying the Subscription Receipts will automatically convert into and be exchanged for one (1) unit of G2G (each, a “G2G Unit”). Each G2G Unit shall consist of one Subordinate Voting Share and one- half of one share purchase warrant of G2G (each whole share purchase warrant a “G2G Warrant”). Each G2G Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional
Subordinate Voting Share at a price of $0.50 for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the closing of the Offering. Expiry of the G2G Warrants will occur at the option of the Resulting Issuer upon 30 days’ notice to G2G Warrantholders should the volume-weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of the Subordinate Voting Shares exceed $0.85 per Share for twenty (20) consecutive trading days.
Haywood Securities Inc. and PI Financial Corp. are acting as co-lead agents in connection with the Brokered Offering (the “Lead Agents”), on behalf of a syndicate of agents (together with the Lead Agents, the “Agents”) to offer the Subscription Receipts for sale on a commercially reasonable efforts agency basis. Magical Brands has granted the Agents an option (the “Agents’ Option”), exercisable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time up to forty-eight (48) hours prior to the closing of the Brokered Offering, to arrange for the purchase of an additional fifteen percent (15%) of the number of Subscription Receipts sold under the Brokered Offering at the Issue Price. In connection with the Brokered Offering, Magical Brands has agreed to pay the Agents a cash fee (the “Agents’ Commission”) equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Subscription Receipts sold in the Brokered Offering (reduced to 3% in respect of sales to the president’s list) and to issue compensation options (the “Compensation Options”) to the Agents equal to 7% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold in the Brokered Offering (reduced to 3% in respect of sales to the president’s list). Each Compensation Option shall be exercisable for such a number of Finco Units or G2G Units, as the case may be, at an exercise price equal to the Issue Price and having a term of twelve (12) months from the closing of the Brokered Offering. No finders’ fees will be paid in connection with the Non-Brokered Offering.
The proceeds from the Brokered Offering (less an amount equal to 50% of the Agents’ Commission and the reasonable expenses of the Agents in connection with the Brokered Offering) (the “Escrowed Proceeds”) will be held in escrow until the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions.
Principal Purposes of Funds
The funds to be available to the Resulting Issuer upon the closing of the Transaction are expected to be between a minimum of $3,000,000 up to a maximum of $5,000,000, which includes the net proceeds of the Offering and existing cash on hand of Magical Brands and G2G. These funds are anticipated to be used, principally, as follows:

The Resulting Issuer intends to spend the funds available to it as stated above. There may be circumstances, however, where for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be necessary.
Sponsor
The proposed Transaction is subject to the sponsorship requirements of the Exchange, unless a waiver or exemption from the sponsorship requirement is available. If required, a sponsor will be identified at a later date and will be announced in a subsequent press release of G2G. An agreement to sponsor should not be construed as an assurance with respect to the merits of the transaction or the likelihood of completion of the proposed Transaction.
About the Transaction
G2G will duly call and hold a special meeting of its shareholders (the “G2G Meeting”), to approve, among other things and subject to the completion of the Transaction, (i) the composition of the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer following the completion of the Transaction; (ii) the Resulting Issuer’s stock option plan to take effect following completion of the Transaction; (iii) the consolidation (the “Consolidation”) of the issued and outstanding common shares of G2G (the “G2G Shares”) prior to the Transaction on the basis of one (1) post-Consolidation G2G Share for every 2.4195 pre-Consolidation G2G Shares (the “Consolidation Ratio”); (iv) the change of the name of G2G to “Magical Brands Corp.”, or such other name as may be determined by the board of directors of Magical Brands; (v) amend its articles of incorporation to delete the common shares of G2G and amend the authorized share capital to consist of Subordinate Voting Shares and multiple voting shares (the “Multiple Voting Shares”) and to exchange each issued and outstanding G2G Share for one (1) Subordinate Voting Share (the “Share Amendments”); and (vi) the continuance of the Resulting Issuer from the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).
G2G will seek the majority of the minority shareholder approval for the creation of the Subordinate Voting Shares and the Multiple Voting Shares. The Multiple Voting Shares will not be listed for trading on any exchange. The Subordinate Voting Shares will carry one (1) vote per share at meetings of the shareholders of the Resulting Issuer, and the Multiple Voting Shares will carry a number of voting rights to be determined by Magical Brands and G2G. It is anticipated that Multiple Voting Shares, rather than Subordinate Voting Shares, may be issued to certain U.S. resident shareholders of Magical Brands in order to ensure that the Resulting Issuer is a “foreign private issuer” (as determined in accordance with the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Accordingly, the number of Multiple Voting Shares to be issued in connection with the completion of the Transaction will be determined at a later date based on the residency of the participants of the Offering. The number of votes per Multiple Voting Share will reflect the number of Subordinate Voting Shares into which each Multiple Voting Share may be exchanged.
Upon completion of the Consolidation and the Share Amendments, it is anticipated that the 5,203,570 currently issued and outstanding G2G Shares will be consolidated into 2,150,679 post-Consolidation Subordinate Voting Shares.
Details regarding the G2G Meeting will be made available in a management information circular that will be mailed to shareholders of G2G.
For greater certainty, the shareholders of G2G will not be required to approve the completion of the Transaction. However, the Transaction is subject to the approval of the shareholders of Magical Brands.
It is anticipated that, at the effective time of closing of the Transaction, among other things:
- each issued and outstanding Magical Brands Share, will be cancelled and its holder will receive in exchange therefor one fully paid and non-assessable Subordinate Voting Share;
- each holder of Finco Units underlying the Subscription Receipts issued in connection with the Offering will receive one G2G Unit in exchange therefor, following which all Finco Units will be cancelled;
- each outstanding option to purchase G2G Shares (of which 405,000 are outstanding as at the date hereof) (a “G2G Option”) will be cancelled and its holder will receive in exchange therefor one option to purchase a Subordinate Voting Share (a “Resulting Issuer Option”), which Resulting Issuer Option shall have all of the terms and conditions, including the exercise price, term to expiry, vesting conditions and manner of exercising, as the G2G Option for which it was exchanged, as adjusted by the Consolidation Ratio;
- each outstanding broker warrant to purchase G2G Shares (of which 216,430 are outstanding as at the date hereof) (a “G2G Broker Warrant”) will receive in exchange therefor one option to purchase a Subordinate Voting Share (a “Resulting Issuer Broker Warrant”), which Resulting Issuer Broker Warrant shall have all of the terms and conditions, including the exercise price, term to expiry, vesting conditions and manner of exercising, as the G2G Broker Warrant for which it was exchanged, as adjusted by the Consolidation Ratio.
In connection with the Transaction, approximately 72,254,133 Subordinate Voting Shares will be issued to holders of Magical Brands Shares (including the holders of unsecured convertible promissory notes, which will be converted into Magical Brands Shares prior to closing of the Transaction) and the holders of Finco Units (assuming the minimum Offering is completed) in exchange for their Magical Brands Shares and common shares of Finco, underlying the Finco Units.
Immediately after the completion of the Transaction, on a non-diluted basis and after giving effect to the Consolidation, the shareholders of G2G will own approximately 2.9% of the Subordinate Voting Shares and the shareholders of Magical Brands (including the holders of Finco Units issued in connection with the Offering) will own approximately 97.1% of the Subordinate Voting Shares. The completion of the Transaction is conditional on obtaining all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals in connection with the matters described above and other conditions customary for a transaction of this type.
The current principal shareholder of Magical Brands is Garyn Angel, the Chief Executive Officer of Magical Brands. Garyn Angel is resident in the United States and indirectly and directly owns
and controls approximately 70% of the issued and outstanding Magical Brands Shares on a non- diluted basis. It is expected that following completion of the Transaction, Mr. Angel will continue in his role as Chief Executive Officer and will be an insider of the Resulting Issuer. The only other insiders of the Resulting Issuer will be its directors and senior officers.

The Transaction is not a non-arm’s length transaction in accordance with the policies of the Exchange.
