March 29, 2023 – Vancouver, Canada – Turnium Technology Group Inc. (TSX.V: TTGI) (“Turnium” or the “Company”), an industry leader in cloud-native software-defined wide area networking solutions (SDWAN), announces that it has amended the terms of its agreement to acquire the IP Addresses and certain data centers assets from Professional Systems Designs Ltd. (“PSD”), as previously announced in a news release dated December 12, 2022. The amendment agreement provides for Turnium to lease the IP Addresses from PSD for a monthly fee of $800 and Turnium to rent certain data center assets from PSD for a monthly fee of $400 per site. The lease on the IP Addresses is for a term of one year and shall automatically be renewed unless a 60-day advance notice is provided. The rental agreement on the data center is for a term of 90 days and shall automatically be renewed unless a 60-day advance notice is provided. Turnium has an option to purchase the assets at a later date at the original price of $5,000 per site, and 50% of the rental fees will be applied towards the purchase price. In addition, PSD will transfer 3 data center sites to Turnium. The amended terms will take effect April 1, 2023.
The terms of the transaction were negotiated at arm’s length. The Company has received conditional acceptance of the transaction as amended from the TSX Venture Exchange on March 28, 2023. If the Company elects to purchase the assets at a later date and if any of the terms or details of the purchase option changes, the purchase will be subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
As PSD is owned by a director of the Company, the lease of assets will be considered a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company will rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the transaction. None of the Company’s directors has expressed any contrary views or disagreements with respect to the foregoing. Johan Arnet, a director of the Company, declared his interest and abstained from voting the approval of the transaction.
