Nuri Telecom Company Limited Announces Intention to Purchase Common Shares of Apivio Systems Inc. on the TSX Venture Exchange


VANCOUVER, Jan. 27, 2017 /CNW/ - Nuri Telecom Company Limited ("Nuri") announces today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, 1101324 B.C. Ltd. (the "Offeror"), intends, subject to market conditions and applicable securities laws, to purchase common shares (the "Common Shares") of Apivio Systems Inc. ("Apivio") through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). The Offeror may purchase Common Shares from time to time during the period commencing on January 31, 2017 and ending at the expiry time of the Offeror's offer (the "Offer") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

As described in the Offer and take-over bid circular (the "Offer Documents") dated January 17, 2017, and under applicable Canadian securities laws, the aggregate number of Common Shares that may be acquired by the Offeror or any of its affiliates through the facilities of the TSXV shall not exceed 5% of the outstanding Common Shares as at the date of the Offer. The purchase price for any Common Shares acquired by the Offeror or any of its affiliates through the facilities of the TSXV may be different than the cash consideration for the Common Shares under the Offer, being CDN$0.40.

The Offeror will issue and file a news release, setting out information concerning the number of Common Shares purchased and other information prescribed by applicable Canadian securities laws, after the close of business on each day on which the Offeror or any of its affiliates purchase Common Shares.

Full Details of the Offer are contained in the Offer Documents and Nuri encourages shareholders of Apivio to carefully review the Offer Documents and to consider the important information set out therein, including detailed instructions on how to tender their Common Shares to the Offer.
