International Barrier Enters Agreement to Combine with Louisiana-Pacific Corporation
VANCOUVER, BC and WATKINS, MN--(Marketwired - July 31, 2017) - International Barrier Technology Inc. (the "Company") (OTCQB: IBTGF) (TSX VENTURE: IBH) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Louisiana-Pacific Canada Ltd. and Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (collectively, "LP"), pursuant to which LP has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (the "Transaction").
The Transaction will be implemented by way of plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Pursuant to the Arrangement, each issued and outstanding common share of the Company will be transferred to LP in consideration for US$0.41 per common share, for a total purchase price of US$22 million. Upon completion of the Transaction, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of LP.
Michael Huddy, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated, "The Board of Directors considered the Company's strategic options, and determined that the Transaction is an attractive opportunity for the Company's shareholders. The Transaction provides shareholders with cash liquidity and a price representing a significant premium to the last closing price and 30 day volume weighted average price of the Company's common shares."
Evans & Evans, Inc. provided an opinion to the Board of Directors that, subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set out in such opinion, the terms of the Transaction are fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of the Company. Taking into account this opinion, the Board of Directors has determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of shareholders, and recommends that its shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement.
The Arrangement is subject to applicable shareholder, court and regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of certain other closing conditions customary in transactions of this nature. The Arrangement is arm's length and will require approval of at least 66?% of the votes cast by Company shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders of the Company. Information regarding the Arrangement will be contained in an information circular to be prepared, filed and mailed in due course to Company shareholders in connection with the special meeting. All shareholders are urged to read the information circular once it becomes available as it will contain additional important information concerning the Arrangement.
Upon completion of the Transaction, the Company's shares will be de-listed from the TSX Venture Exchange and it is expected that LP will apply to cause the Company to cease being a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws. Following closing of the Transaction, the Company will operate as part of LP's OSB business. LP will continue to honor the Company's existing contracts and service its customers' needs. The Company expects the Transaction to close in early October, 2017.

$IBTGF DD Notes ~ http://www.ddnotesmaker.com/IBTGF
Looks like some action but at least on the hub no one is watching
I agree that the history is lacking in profitabilty. However I belive that the P&L with this next annual report is the turning point to long term Sales and Profit. My role as an investory it to be ahead of the curve if at all possible. That said either I'm missing something in my analysis or because the P&L hasn't yet hit - many are sitting on the sidelines. There are a whole lot of shares out there doing nothing, ioncludign mine. I've been accumulating on the dips but have slowed down a bit recently
The issue I see with it, as a casual observer, is that it doesn't seem to have really demonstrated profitability commensurate to its revenues yet.
Yep true it is. I can't beleive that the Co is only trading at $.28 PPS. It should be $2.28 PPS !! I'm hopeful that the Sept report for last year really communicates where the company is and is heading. This could be a tiger by the tail of the current expansion efforts take off, more builders buy in to the product AND the economy continues to build.
It is true and very significant going forward for IBH.
Look at what I found when I googled europe+pyrotite
http://www.kronospan.cz/en/osb-pyrotite/
--could this be true. These guys are huge.
Barely a bump in the stock price after a GREAT YEAR !! Perhaps the Sept earnings release etc will firm up some believers that the company is not only on the road to sucess, but significant growth !

Ibtgf
With no one paying attention-----
Makes for another great buying opportunity
The business model and plan are getting better and better
$$$$ is coming too bad not many are paying attention.
Nice breakout on the stock to new highs. Very good to see.
PPS $1.00- $1.50 PPS - Wait until the year end results come out. I think that is why the current buying is good. Perhaps there may be those who know more than us. With the Public info on Sales, IBGF's economy of scale
(overhead absorption) should spell profits and along with the licensing agreement PPS IMO should be in the $1.00 - $1.50 range soon after the year end numbers are released.
Charts starting to look great on this one. Some excellent buying going on.
$1.00 PPS should be right around the corner after $.25 which is on the horizon !!!!
slowly but surely investors are starting to find out about this one. I trade on Canadian markets. Once it breaks above .25 resistance it could have a nice run.
I find it interesting that there is so much potential with this co that there are so few on this board. May and YTD Sales are great. Years ago this stock was way up there before they had the customer base that they do now. I think that the pending yearly results will be a blowout yet the PPS is barely moving. I bought several times because I believe that this could be $$ in short order. Why very few are paying attention mystifies me
I think next few strong quarters will make investors realize the true potential. Should be trading above .30 right now based on current assets/sales numbers. Also put the licensing agreement into effect. .75 cents and above looks very possible this year.
Me too. Been bottom fishin as much as I can before the year end results. I expect them to be very good. Wouldn't surprise me to see $.75 to $1.00 this summer
You are right. This should be a big year for these guys. I continue to add.
Looks like Dec to April Sales are moving up in the right direction. Waiting to see May Sales $$ expect they will be good too. With specialty construction matls IBTGF is a little fish in a small pond Expect the 52 wk high of $.28 will be left in the dust shortly.
Lucror:
Is there a way HTFBSN can get in touch with you?
Thanks
What you guys think of Dec sales numbers. I was surprised to the upside. I was expecting them to come in around 400k but came in just over 600k. Spring and summer should be fun.
Thanks. I also think it's dirt cheap down here. I am continuing to accumulate on weakness. Spoke with the management and will post my notes in a few days.
I'm a long term investor. 1-3 years generally with nano and micro cap names. It generally takes longer for their stories to unfold. That being said, I look at valuation not share price as a barometer. Currently IBTGF sports a market cap of 7.8M. IMO that's undervalued. A valuation of 25-50M over the next couple of years is highly possible IMO; However, a lot depends on the continuation of the housing recovery and the execution of the their licensing agreement. It's difficult to find a nano cap that's profitable with this much potential. Dilution is always a concerns with these name and the fact that they're cash flow positive mitigates that risk.
Lucror,
What's your short term and long term target on this one. Looks like you found it early.
Agreed. They offer a very differentiated product in the space the operate...LP recognizes this. Had conversations with management too. EVERYONE should contact a nano cap directly before investing in them. I never invest in a situation where management is unresponsive. This is a dangerous space but if you know what to look for and how to play it the reward outweighs the risk.
Hearing there was a nice write up Dec 1 edition of "The Quiet Investor" on IBH.
Yeah definitely looking forward to license deal progress report. Also hoping they'll sign licenses for other territories.
I agree. It is seasonal and might give us an opportunity to accumulate more of this stock. I just started following this company a few months ago. I had some good discussions with the company and I agree they are primed to do well with this turnaround in housing and more stringent fire codes.
Lower revenues on a quarter over quarter basis resulted from a differing product mix. Expect some seasonality in the coming quarter which typically impacts the northern markets. Also, the impact from the recently signed licensing deal is not yet reflected in the numbers. Hopefully over the next few quarters we will get a little better clarity on what to expect from the deal.
