  • If the deal is closed, Abode will receive:
    • “Payment to AMC to satisfy immediate working capital requirements”

    • “Further payments to the Company over the next 3 years based on a percentage of AMC’s cumulative pre-tax profits.”
  • The transaction hinges on:
    • “The parties signing a binding share sale agreement”
    • “The proposed purchaser being satisfied with AMC’s Approved Lender status with mortgage default insurers”
    • “Obtaining Company shareholder and board approval”
    • ”Obtaining TSX Venture Exchange approval”
    • ”Arriving at a satisfactory wind down arrangement with AMC’s financier.”
