UnitedCorp Announces
Completion of Acquisition of TNW Wireless
Inc.
TNW Wireless to be an active
participant of CRTC's
current consultation
regarding a comprehensive
review of Canadian mobile
wireless services
MIAMI, FL --
March 22, 2019 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Miami-based United American
Corp ("UnitedCorp")(OTC:
UAMA) announced
today that it has completed
the acquisition of TNW Wireless Inc. ("TNW Wireless") from
Investel Capital Corporation (Canada) ("Investel"). The plan to
acquire TNW Wireless was initially announced in June
2017 and was pending the outcome of TNW Wireless' Part
1 Application of July 2017 to the Canadian Radio-television and
Communications Commission (the "CRTC").
Under the
final terms of the share exchange agreement, Investel receives 35
million common shares of UnitedCorp based on a valuation of US$0.15
per share in exchange for all issued and outstanding shares of TNW
Wireless and UnitedCorp will assume CD $2.5 million in related
promissory notes. Since June 2017 UnitedCorp has also provided TNW
Wireless certain advances against the
acquisition.
The Part 1
Application, amongst other things, asked
the CRTC to compel Bell Mobility Inc. and TELUS Corporation to
provide mandated roaming agreements to allow TNW Wireless to
provide national coverage. With the CRTC ruling in favor of TNW
Wireless on this request in its decision
2019-56 issued on February 28, 2019 and
with the Commission further reconfirming that TNW
Wireless is eligible to operate as a wireless carrier in Canada,
all conditions for the acquisition had been met. The
acquisition is subject to final regulatory approval and all
necessary submissions have already been undertaken.
"We are very
pleased to have completed this transaction,
which will support the development of TNW Wireless," stated
TNW Wireless President, Lawry Trevor-Deutsch.
"We believe the synergy of TNW Wireless with
the telecom experience of UnitedCorp will be
very beneficial to the execution of our
business plan."
On
February 28th, the CRTC also
issued a Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC
2019-57 where the
Commission stated
that it is launching
a comprehensive review of mobile wireless
services in Canada. The
CRTC noted that the Canadian wireless industry
lacks competitive retail options and that
a sustainable retail Mobile Virtual Network Operator ("MVNO")
market has failed to develop under existing conditions. The
Commission cited TNW Wireless' Part 1 Application and
its 2019-56 Decision as an
example.
As such
the review will address competition in the Canadian
retail market, the current wholesale mobile regulatory
framework with a focus on wholesale Mobile Virtual
Network Operator ("MVNO") access and the future of
mobile service with a focus on reducing barriers to infrastructure
deployment. The Commission has stated
that its preliminary view is that it would be appropriate to
mandate that the national wireless carriers provide wholesale MVNO
access as an outcome of the proceeding.
Furthermore, the Commission's
preliminary view is that the national wireless carriers'
mandated wholesale MVNO access should be in place for
a limited amount of time and be subject to a phase-out period as
market forces take hold.
By
initiating this consultation, the
CRTC is has recognized the
necessity of establishing a Canadian
regulatory framework whereby smaller
wireless facilities-based operators
need to have MVNO access to the national carriers.
TNW Wireless believes
that the CRTC will move towards
establishing a
long-term retail wireless
framework to allow more competition amongst
wireless facilities-based carriers
and a more balanced competitive playing field
where smaller facilities-based carriers such
as TNW Wireless can operate on a
national basis and utilize its innovative
iPCS technology.
Therefore
TNW Wireless intends to participate fully in the
consultation process and will file an intervention
with the CRTC by the May 15, 2019 deadline and
will participate in the public
hearings to be held in January
2020.
Kyle
Stevenson, President of RuralCom Capital
Corporation, which holds the
majority of the debt stated, "We fully
support the acquisition of TNW Wireless by UnitedCorp and have a
high level on confidence in the management of both companies. We
are also very encouraged by the CRTC's recent decision
related to TNW as well as the announcement of the
Notice of Consultation which we believe will
provide great opportunities for TNW Wireless'
growth over the next few years."
