After Months of Planning, Luxor Enters into Letters of Intent to Acquire Two Wood Framing Businesses in Canada and the US

 

Luxor Industrial Corporation (“Luxor”) is pleased to announce that on November 4, 2015, it entered into two non-binding letters of intent to acquire wood framing businesses in Canada and the United States. Such businesses are involved in the pre-turnkey framing of housing projects in Canada and the United States.

 

In Canada, Luxor has entered into a letter of intent to buy the book business and certain assets of Colt Builders Inc. of Alberta (“Colt”). A newly incorporated subsidiary of Luxor (“Newco”) is to acquire such assets in consideration for 40% of the shares of Newco.  Colt has agreed that it will exchange 20% of the Newco shares to Luxor in consideration for the issuance of 5 million shares of Luxor upon Newco generating Cdn$10M in net sales and will exchange the remaining 20% of the Newco shares to Luxor in consideration for the issuance of an additional 5 million shares of Luxor upon Newco generating an additional Cdn$10M in net sales (Cdn$20M in the aggregate). Upon achievement of the milestones, Luxor will hold 100% of the Newco shares.

 

In the United States, Luxor has entered into a letter of intent to buy 60% of the issued shares of Mill Frame LLC of Washington State (“Mill Frame”) in consideration for the obligation of Luxor to fund the business of Mill Frame on a going-forward basis.  The vendor of the Mill Frame shares has agreed to exchange 20% of the Mill Frame shares to Luxor in consideration for the issuance of 5 million shares of Luxor upon Mill Frame generating US$10M in net sales and has agreed to exchange the remaining 20% of the Mill Frame shares to Luxor in consideration for the issuance of an additional 5 million shares of Luxor upon Mill Frame generating an additional US$10M in net sales (US$20M in the aggregate).  Upon achievement of the milestones, Luxor will hold 100% of the Mill Frame shares.

 

The letters of intent are non-binding except that all parties agreed to a binding exclusivity and standstill clause until January 31, 2016 to give the parties time to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements.  Closing of the respective transactions will be conditional upon fulfillment of standard closing conditions, including receipt of approval from the TSX Venture Exchange(the “Exchange”).  Although closing of the agreements are not conditional upon consummation of a specific financing, Luxor will be required to raise additional funds in the market in order to execute on its business plan and grow the respective businesses.  Luxor intends to raise such funds through an equity financing on terms to be determined.  Both Colt and Mill Frame are arm’s length parties to Luxor.  The consummation of the transactions will not constitute a Reverse Take-Over of Luxor or create a Control Person for the purposes of Exchange policies.

 

John Hunter, President of Colt, has over 30 years of experience in this sector and comments, “We specialize in large scale building projects including multi-family, assisted living and senior housing, completing over 1,000,000 square feet per year.”

 

Terry Lashman, President of Luxor, advises, “We were looking to increase our sales in the fast growing USA housing market. Entering into the framing sector is ideal for the sales of Luxor’s building components. Our experienced cutting edge team of Luxor, Colt and Mill Frame felt the timing was right to pre-build in Canada to ship across the border into the USA using the exchange rate to support some of the logistics costs. With our large fabrication facility only 3 miles from the border, we realized it was better to work together than as individual companies.” 

 

Luxor’s FastFrame™ wall components will be well served as the USA faces skilled labour shortages as reported the Wall Street Journal:

John Taylor, president of Luxor’s manufacturing and sales subsidiary mused, “After many years of building with lumber we have finally figured out how to be smarter than the wood.”
