Ninth Amendment to Moatfield Drive Purchase Agreement and Zhou Loan Agreement
On May 19, 2021, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary Visionary Education Services & Management Inc. (“VESM”) entered into an agreement to purchase two buildings with a total floor area of 433,000 square feet at 95-105 Moatfield Drive, North York, a Toronto suburb, which had been IBM’s Canada headquarters (the “Moatfield Drive Purchase Agreement”). We intend to convert the buildings into a campus center that we refer to as Visionary University Town. We expect to use the facility to house Max the Mutt College of Animation, Art and Design’s gaming and facility design programs and will have a capacity to provide teaching facilities for 12,000 to 15,000 international students in our educational programs. We may also lease portions of the facility to third party educational organizations with whom we may join in providing educational services.
On August 23, 2022, 13995191 Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of VESM, entered into the ninth amendment to the Moatfield Drive Purchase Agreement (the “Ninth Amendment”), which is appended hereto as Exhibit 10.1. Pursuant to the Ninth Amendment, VESM paid a ninth deposit of approximately $1.6 million (C$2 million) on August 23, 2022 (the “Ninth Deposit”), and 13995191 Canada Inc. postponed the purchase of the two Moatfield Drive buildings to September 15, 2022. If 13995191 Canada Inc. does not close the purchase of the Moatfied Drive buildings, it will be required to forfeit the deposit paid under the Ninth Amendment and prior deposits that VESM has paid.
On August 23, 2022, Ms. Fan Zhou, our majority shareholder and Executive Director, lent us C$2 million (approximately $1.6 million) to pay the Ninth Deposit, in accordance with an agreement dated August 23, 2022, appended hereto as Exhibit 10.2 (the “Zhou Loan Agreement”). The loan has a term of one year, is non-interest bearing, and grants us an option to extend the due date for one year. If 13995191 Canada Inc. fails to close the proposed acquisition of the Moatfield Drive buildings and loses its deposit, Ms. Zhou agreed to forgive such $1.6 million (C$2 million) loan.
