Apolo III Acquisition Corp. is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated March 8, 2021, it has entered into a definitive business combination agreement dated April 19, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Playmaker Capital Inc. (“Playmaker”) and 2830125 Ontario Inc. (“Apolo Subco”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apolo, incorporated, pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”) in connection with the proposed business combination of Apolo and Playmaker, which transaction (the “Qualifying Transaction”) is intended to constitute Apolo’s “Qualifying Transaction” (within the meaning of Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”)).

The Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, a three-cornered amalgamation (the “Amalgamation”) pursuant to which, among other things: (a) Playmaker will amalgamate (the “First Amalgamation”) with Apolo Subco, (b) all of the post-Playmaker Consolidation (as described below) common shares of Playmaker (each, a “Playmaker Consolidation Share”) outstanding immediately prior to the First Amalgamation will be cancelled and, in consideration therefor, the holders thereof will receive post-Apolo Consolidation (as described below) common shares of Apolo (each, an “Apolo Consolidation Share”) on the basis of one (1) Playmaker Consolidation Share for one (1) Apolo Consolidation Share, and (c) the entity resulting from the amalgamation between Playmaker and Apolo Subco will subsequently amalgamate (the “Second Amalgamation”) with Apolo under the OBCA (the “Resulting Issuer”), and the Apolo Consolidation Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Second Amalgamation will be exchanged for the common shares of the Resulting Issuer (each, a “Resulting Issuer Share”) on the basis of one (1) Apolo Consolidation Share for each one (1) Resulting Issuer Share. After giving effect to the Qualifying Transaction, the shareholders of Playmaker will collectively exercise control over Apolo.

Prior to or on completion of the Amalgamation (the “Effective Time”), it is intended that: (i) the outstanding common shares of Apolo (each, an “Apolo Share”) will be consolidated (the “Apolo Consolidation”) on the basis of one (1) Apolo Consolidation Share for each 4.54 pre-Apolo Consolidation Apolo Shares, (ii) common shares of Playmaker (each, a “Playmaker Share”) will be consolidated (the “Playmaker Consolidation”) on the basis of one (1) Playmaker Consolidation Share for every 2.5 pre-Playmaker Consolidation Playmaker Shares, (iii) Apolo will change its name to “Playmaker Capital Inc.”, and (iv) provided the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined below) are satisfied, each Subscription Receipt (as defined below) will automatically convert into one Playmaker Consolidation Share prior to the Effective Time.

Completion of the proposed Qualifying Transaction is subject to, among other things, receipt of all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals.

The Business Combination Agreement

The Business Combination Agreement contemplates that, among others, the following conditions precedent be met prior to the Effective Time, including, but not limited to, (a) acceptance by the Exchange and receipt of other applicable regulatory approvals; (b) completion of the Subscription Receipt Financing (as defined below); (c) receipt of the requisite approvals of the shareholders of Apolo (the “Apolo Shareholders”) with respect to the Apolo Consolidation, adoption of a new stock option plan (in such form as requested by Playmaker, acting reasonably) (the “Stock Option Plan”), the director appointments agreed upon by Apolo and Playmaker (the “Director Appointments”) and adoption of an advance notice by-law; (d) receipt of the requisite approvals of the shareholders of Playmaker with respect to the Playmaker Consolidation and the Amalgamation; (e) no adverse material change in the business, affairs, financial condition or operations of Playmaker or Apolo having occurred between the date of entering into the Business Combination Agreement and the closing date of the Qualifying Transaction; and (f) dissent rights shall have been exercised in respect of no more than 5% of the issued and outstanding Playmaker Shares. There can be no assurance that the Qualifying Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

The Amalgamation will not constitute a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction (as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange). No person who or which is a Non-Arm’s Length Party (as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange) of Apolo has any direct or indirect beneficial interest in the share capital of Playmaker or its assets prior to giving effect to the Amalgamation and no such person is an insider of Playmaker. Similarly, there is no known relationship between or among any person who or which is a Non-Arm’s Length Party of Apolo and any person who or which is a Non-Arm’s Length Party to Playmaker.

If all conditions to the implementation of the Amalgamation have been satisfied or waived, Apolo and Playmaker will carry out the Amalgamation. Pursuant to the terms of the Amalgamation, it is expected that the following security conversions, exercise and issuances will occur among Apolo, Playmaker and the securityholders of Playmaker at or prior to the Effective Time:

1. the Apolo Shares being consolidated on the basis of one (1) post-Apolo Consolidation Apolo Share for every 4.54 pre-Apolo Consolidation Apolo Shares;

3. all issued and outstanding Class A Preferred Shares of Playmaker shall be converted to Playmaker Shares (subject to applicable adjustment for the Playmaker Consolidation);
