Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – November 24, 2020) – PARKIT ENTERPRISE INC. (TSXV: PKT) (OTC Pink: PKTEF) (“Parkit“) has entered into an asset purchase agreement dated November 24, 2020 (the “Purchase Agreement“), with two private companies (collectively, referred to as the “Vendors“), pursuant to which Parkit has agreed to purchase two properties, located at 5600 Finch Ave East, Toronto, Ontario and 4390 Paletta Court, Burlington, Ontario (the “Properties“), for an aggregate purchase price of $36,250,000, subject to customary adjustments (the “Proposed Acquisition“). The Vendors are not related parties to Parkit and the Proposed Acquisition constitutes an Arm’s Length Transaction for the purposes of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV“) policies. Concurrent with the closing of the Proposed Acquisition, Parkit also intends to complete a $10,000,000 private placement of Common Shares as more fully described below.
Focus on Industrial Properties
Beginning with the purchase of the Properties, Parkit will focus on the acquisition of high-quality industrial properties in the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding regions. Management believes that the industrial real estate market in Canada benefits from secular tailwinds, including but not limited to the proliferation of ecommerce, significant population growth, and the resilience of the asset class. The additions to our board adds the depth of experience needed to capitalize on this opportunity. Management believes that a publicly traded industrial real estate vehicle will provide investors with compelling exposure to an increasingly important part of the real estate market.
David Delaney, Parkit’s Chairman, noted, “This proposed transaction signals an important milestone for Parkit. We will be acquiring two fantastic properties, but more importantly, we will be building a team of highly experienced professionals that are capable of rapidly growing Parkit to the benefit of all shareholders.”
Avi Geller, Parkit’s Interim CEO, said, “We are excited with the proposed transaction and the prospect of welcoming Steven Scott and his team to Parkit. We have been following Steven’s successes from afar and we are very pleased to be working together on this transaction. Industrial real estate has been the top performing real estate asset over the past 5 years and has clearly shown its resilience through the pandemic.”
Steven Scott, the proposed incoming Chair of Parkit, states, “The last 5 years have shown tremendous demand for warehouse, logistics and ecommerce solutions. With historically low cost of debt and continued population growth, the proposed transaction positions Parkit to capitalize on these trends.”
Purchase Price and Payment
The purchase price for the Proposed Acquisition is $36,250,000, subject to adjustments. The Purchase price will be satisfied as follows: (i) the sum of $10,000,000 by the issuance of 40,000,000 common shares of Parkit (“Common Shares“) at a deemed price of $0.25 per Common Share, with 20,000,000 of such Common Shares being issued to each of the Vendors; (ii) the assumption of mortgages on the Properties totaling approximately $17,800,000 (“Mortgage Assumptions“); and (iii) Vendor take-back loans in the aggregate amount of approximately $8,450,000 (“Vendor Take-Back Loans“). Depending on the satisfaction of certain conditions, Closing is expected to occur on or before December 31, 2020 (“Closing Date“).
Properties
Upon the closing of the Proposed Acquisition, Parkit will own two Class A industrial properties totaling 230,000 square feet of rentable industrial space in the Greater Toronto Area. The Properties are fully leased with the leases having an average term remaining of 4.8 years. The Finch Avenue East Property has been owned by the Vendors since 1987, and the Paletta Court Property has been owned by the Vendors since 1995. The Properties have an appraised value of $36,425,000 from an arm’s length third party.
The Finch Avenue East Property is owned by NAWOC Holdings Limited, a private Ontario company which is controlled by Access Self Storage Inc., and the Paletta Court Property is owned by SRS Realty Group Inc., a private Ontario company controlled by Steven Scott.
Private Placement
Concurrently with the closing of the Proposed Acquisition, Parkit intends to complete a non-brokered private placement offering of 40,000,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.25 per Common Share, for gross proceeds of $10,000,000 (the “Private Placement“). The Private Placement is expected to close concurrently with the Proposed Acquisition on the Closing Date. The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for future acquisitions, expansions and general working capital.
It is anticipated that certain current insiders and shareholders, and their affiliates, of Parkit (collectively “Parkit Investors“) will purchase up to $2,500,000 of the Private Placement. Participation by Parkit Investors in the Private Placement will be on the same terms as arm’s length investors. There is no minimum aggregate subscription amount for the Private Placement, but completion of the Private Placement is subject to all regulatory approvals, including the TSXV acceptance. Depending on market conditions, the gross proceeds of the Private Placement could be increased or decreased. All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of closing.
Material Conditions Precedent to the Proposed Acquisition
The obligations of Parkit and the Vendors to complete the Proposed Acquisition are subject to the satisfaction of initial conditions including: (i) TSXV acceptance of the Proposed Acquisition and the Private Placement; (ii) shareholder approval; (iii) completion of due diligence in respect of the Properties (a condition solely for Parkit) and completion of due diligence of Parkit (a condition solely for the Vendors); and (iv) creditor consent in respect of the Mortgage Assumptions (collectively, the “Initial Conditions“). The closing of the Proposed Acquisition is also subject to the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions prior to the Closing Date, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including, but not limited to: the accuracy of representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement; terms, covenants and conditions of the Purchase Agreement having been performed; and no material adverse change having occurred prior to the Closing Date.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This release contains a non-GAAP financial measure. The definition and calculation of this non-GAAP financial measure may differ from the definitions and methodologies used by other companies and, accordingly, may not be comparable. The non-GAAP financial measure referred to below should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered as an alternative measure of liquidity or as indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.
Levered Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) is calculated as the internal rate of return on the Joint Venture’s equity investment in the property considering the timing and amounts of capital contributions paid, and all distributions received. Management believes that the levered IRR achieved during the period a property is owned by the Joint Venture is useful because it is one indication of the gross value created by the Joint Venture’s acquisition, management and ultimate sale of a property, before the impact of Joint Venture’s overhead and taxes. However, leveraged IRR is not a substitute for net income as a measure of our performance.
The levered IRR achieved on the property as cited in this release should not be viewed as an indication of the gross value created with respect to other properties owned by the Joint Venture, and the Company does not represent that the Joint Venture will achieve similar levered IRRs upon the disposition of other properties. The levered IRR cited in this press release is from the perspective of the Joint Venture, in which the Company has an economic interest.
Under GAAP, the Company recognizes its investment in the Joint Venture using the equity method whereby the carrying value of the investment is adjusted for the Company’s share of the profit and loss of the Joint Venture, and decreased for any distributions received by the Joint Venture. All amounts reported by the Company from the Joint Venture are translated into Canadian dollars. The gain on the disposition of the property will have an impact on the amount reported by the Company for its share of the GAAP net profit from the Joint Venture.
Vancouver, British Columbia, February 11, 2019 — Parkit Enterprise Inc. (“Parkit” or the “Company”) (TSXV: PKT; OTCQX: PKTEF) is pleased to announce that it has received a payment of CAD $561,569 (USD $423,506) from OP Holdings JV, LLC (the “Joint Venture”). This payment resulted from the release of an environmental trust that was established for the sale of Expresso Airport Parking (the “Property”). The Property was sold in October 2018 and the Department of Toxic Substances Control (California, U.S.A) released the environmental trust after the purchaser of the Property established its own environmental trust for the Property. This payment will add cash of approximately CAD $0.016 per share to Parkit’s treasury.
“We believe that this payment represents the first of many distributions that Parkit will receive from the Joint Venture. As set out in the Company’s press release dated October 19, 2018, the Joint Venture reached its 15% internal rate of return (“IRR”) target owed to the Managing Member of the Joint Venture. As a result, all future cash flows from sales and refinances within the Joint Venture will flow to Parking Acquisition Ventures, LLC (“PAVe”), an entity in which Parkit has an 82.83% interest until PAVe has received a 15% IRR. From that point, additional capital proceeds from asset sales and refinances will flow through the Joint Venture’s waterfall with further benefit to Parkit,” stated David Delaney, Parkit’s Executive Chairman. “Our Joint Venture is making significant progress in realizing the value of its assets and we look forward to continuing this asset monetization. Parkit would like to thank our Joint Venture partners for their dedication and effort in continuing to realize the value in our collective assets.”
