OTTAWA,
ON, June 6, 2023 /CNW/ - Intouch Insight
Ltd. ("Intouch" or the "Company") (TSXV: INX) (OTCQX: INXSF)
announces that on June 2nd
it signed a non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") to purchase all
outstanding shares of an arm's length North American customer
experience measurement company (the "Vendor"), subject to TSX
Venture Exchange approval (the "Acquisition"). For reasons of
competition and privacy Intouch will not disclose the name of the
Vendor until the completion of a definitive agreement. The
targeted closing date is September 1,
2023. The Vendor has approximately USD $5M in annual revenues and EBITDA of
approximately 15%.
It is expected as set out in the LOI that the purchase price is
USD $1.5M in cash upon closing, a USD
$500,000 promissory note repayable
over three years with interest, and additional contingency payments
expected to be approximately USD $400,000 per year paid in cash based on annual
performance for four years post-closing. Intouch intends to
pay for the Acquisition from a combination of bank debt financing
and ongoing cash flow generated from the Vendor's ongoing business.
Intouch will not assume any long-term debt from the Vendor, nor
will it pay any finder's fees.
"The proposed Acquisition is synergistic with our current
business. We expect a smooth and efficient integration of the new
clients who represent some exciting new brands for Intouch to work
with. This transaction will increase our portfolio of clients
to whom we can sell our entire suite of products, including our
SaaS offerings. The Vendor's business appears to be very well
run and a respected organization in the industry. As such, we are
looking forward to adding its management team and employee base,"
said Cameron Watt, President and CEO
of Intouch.
"The large investment Intouch has made in technological
superiority continues to put us into a leadership position which is
difficult to match and makes Intouch an attractive acquirer for
owners looking for the right fit for their clients and their
employees," said Watt.
