TORONTO, Jan. 25, 2018 /CNW/ – CryptoGlobal Corp. (“CryptoGlobal“) (formerly Apolo Acquisition Corp. (“Apolo“)) is pleased to announce the completion of its qualifying transaction (the “Qualifying Transaction“).

Trading in the common shares of Apolo was previously halted on November 6, 2017 at the request of Apolo upon announcement of the Qualifying Transaction. Trading in the common shares of CryptoGlobal (the “Resulting Issuer Shares“) is expected to commence on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“) at market open on Monday January 29, 2018 under the symbol “CPTO”, following the issuance by the TSXV of its final bulletin in respect of the Qualifying Transaction.

Pursuant to the Qualifying Transaction, Apolo acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares (the “CryptoGlobal Shares“) of CryptoGlobal Inc. (“CGI“), with the former shareholders of CGI receiving one common share of Apolo for each CGI Share held (the “Exchange Ratio“). The outstanding warrants and options of CGI were also exchanged for comparable securities of Apolo on the basis of the Exchange Ratio. Immediately prior to the closing of the Qualifying Transaction, Apolo consolidated its shares on a 3.938-for-one basis and changed its name to “CryptoGlobal Corp.” CGI subsequently amalgamated with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apolo, with the amalgamating company continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CryptoGlobal.

The Qualifying Transaction constitutes a reverse take-over, as the former shareholders of CGI now own (on a non-diluted basis) approximately 94.7% of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares immediately after the closing of the Qualifying Transaction. The board of directors of CryptoGlobal consists of five new directors comprised of the following persons: Rob Segal (Chairman), James Millership, Perry Miele, Nicole Verkindt, and Eric Klein. In addition, Rob Segal will serve as Chief Executive Officer, James Millership will serve as President, and Jing Peng will serve as Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary of CryptoGlobal. The completion of the Qualifying Transaction has received final approval of the TSXV.

In connection with the Qualifying Transaction, CryptoGlobal issued the following securities for the acquisition of CGI: 117,014,771 Resulting Issuer Shares, broker warrants to purchase 750,000 Resulting Issuer Shares and options to purchase 2,555,587 Resulting Issuer Shares. In addition, the board of directors of CryptoGlobal today issued an aggregate of 1,100,000 options to employees and consultants of CryptoGlobal to acquire Resulting Issuers for a period of five years from the date of grant at a price of $0.85 per Resulting Issuer Share, and former officers and directors of Apolo exercised an aggregate of 175,216 options of CryptoGlobal. After giving effect to the Qualifying Transaction, there are 120,148,341 Resulting Issuer Shares issued and outstanding (on a non-diluted basis). In addition, there are an aggregate of 3,661,935 options to purchase Resulting Issuer Shares, 750,000 broker warrants to purchase Resulting Issuer Shares and 126,968 agent options to purchase Resulting Issuer Shares.
