5.1 Full Description of Material Change
On July 22, 2021, Cathedral and Precision completed the Transaction for a purchase price of $6,350,000 by way of the issuance of 13,400,000 common shares of Cathedral (" Consideration Shares ") and warrants to purchase 2,000,000 common shares of Cathedral at an exercise price of $0.60 per share for a period of two years from the closing date (" Consideration Warrants "). The Transaction included operating assets and personnel of Precision's directional drilling business (including its operations facility in Nisku, Alberta), along with an additional $3 million cash investment by Precision to support growth and expansion of Cathedral. As part of the Transaction, Cathedral and Precision entered into a strategic marketing alliance, which is expected to produce new U.S. and Canadian customer opportunities for Cathedral as well as potential integrated service offerings for customers.
Precision nominee Shuja Goraya, who is currently employed by Precision as their Chief Technology Officer, has been appointed to the Cathedral Board. Based in Houston, Texas, Mr. Goraya has a Bachelor of Engineering degree and has worked for over 25 years in the energy services sector, most recently with Schlumberger Limited. Mr. Goraya's technical expertise and extensive directional drilling background will be a strong complement to Cathedral's board.
In addition to a 4-month statutory hold period on the Consideration Shares, the parties have agreed to contractual restrictions on resale as follows: 25% of the Consideration Shares are restricted until January 22, 2022; a further 25% of the Consideration Shares are restricted until July 22, 2022; and a further 50% of the Consideration Shares are restricted until July 22, 2023, subject to certain exceptions.
The parties also entered into an investor rights agreement pursuant to which, among other things, Precision was granted the right to nominate a member to Cathedral's board of directors and certain customary participation rights in respect of future sales of securities by Cathedral. Precision will maintain such rights for so long as it continues to hold 10% or more of Cathedral's common shares (calculated on a partially diluted basis giving effect to the exercise or conversion of any convertible securities which may be held by Precision).
Precision did not hold any securities of Cathedral prior to the transaction. Post-closing, Precision owns approximately 17.5% of Cathedral's issued and outstanding common shares on a non-diluted basis and approximately 19.6% on a partially diluted basis giving effect to the exercise of the warrants.
