Loyalist to Acquire Second Agency in South Korea
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 12, 2015) - Loyalist Group Limited ("Loyalist", the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:LOY) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Kim Okran International Studies Centre ("Kim Okran"), a South Korean-based student recruiting agency that provides information and registration services to South Korean students looking to study abroad, particularly in Canada.
Kim Okran had consolidated revenue of $4.7 million and adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million for the 12-month period ended December 2013. Kim Okran's revenue is based upon commissions earned on gross student tuition fees of approximately $20.0 million.
"Building upon our recently completed acquisition of Uhak.com, the largest student recruiting agency in South Korea, the Kim Okran acquisition further enhances Loyalist's vertical integration strategy," said Chief Executive Officer Andrew Ryu. "By acquiring another one of our largest agency partners, we will be in a position to further reduce our direct costs of attracting students. The acquisition will also provide Loyalist with a strong source for growing its student population. We expect an annualized additional net benefit to Loyalist of approximately $2.1 million in the year following closing of the acquisition from increased student numbers and reduced marketing expenses. The Kim Okran team will make a fine addition to the Loyalist family."
Loyalist will pay $4.65 million for Kim Okran, of which $3.9 million will be paid in cash, subject to certain closing adjustments, and $0.75 million will be paid through the issuance of 1,442,307 Loyalist common shares at a price of $0.52 per share, with 75% of such shares being held in escrow for a period up to 12 months following closing as security for certain defined post-closing adjustments. The parties expect to complete the transaction on or around January 27, 2015.

Great Lakes Graphite Inc. has provided the following update on activities related to the exploration and development of the Lochaber graphite property.
NI 43-101 Resource Estimate
The Company has engaged SRK Consulting to complete the preparation of an National Instrument ("NI") 43-101-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for the Lochaber Graphite Property located in southeastern Quebec (the "Resource Estimate"). CEO Paul Gorman said, "Soon after we began discussions regarding a Feasibility Study for the Lochaber project, it was clear that having SRK Consulting complete the work on an NI 43-101-compliant resource estimate on the Lochaber property would facilitate subsequent work on a Feasibility Study. Having SRK's name on our Resource Estimate is a way of demonstrating our ongoing commitment to the highest industry standards."
Preliminary work toward the Resource Estimate including all of the supporting data that have been used in internal studies and scenarios have been made available to SRK Consulting. "We are confident that the completion of a resource estimate on the highly prospective Lochaber Graphite Property will be a major strategic step forward in realizing value from our significant investment in this property", Great Lakes CEO Gorman commented. The company expects the Resource Estimate to be published during the first quarter of 2015.
SRK Consulting is an independent, international consulting practice providing focused advice and solutions to the earth and water resource industries. SRK provides services to mining companies that range from exploration to mine closure. Established in 1974, SRK employs more than 1,500 professionals internationally in over 50 offices on 6 continents
Fieldwork - Drill Program
A field crew and diamond drilling equipment have been mobilized to the Lochaber Graphite Property to carry out a program of 600 m of drilling that will provide additional data for the Resource Estimate and a contemplated Feasibility Study in the near future. The drilling is scheduled to commence this week.
In preparation for this program, road access to the project area has been upgraded. This program is comprised of six holes of 100 m in length that are already spotted on the ground. The holes are in-fill and step-out holes that will supplement the results of the previous drilling on the property which is being used to complete the Resource Estimate.
Mr. Martin Ethier, P.Geo., who is a Member of the Order of Geologists of Quebec and a "Qualified Person" under NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical content of this press release.

LOYALIST ANNOUNCES RECORD THIRD QUARTER 2014 RESULTS
Loyalist Group Ltd. has released financial results for the three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2014.
Third quarter revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014, was a record $19.6 million, an increase of 93% over the same period in 2013. Income from operations was $3.2 million, a 43% increase over the same period in 2013, while net income was $1.9 million, an increase of 14% over the same period in 2013. Adjusted EBITDA was $3.6 million, an increase of 50% over the same period in 2013, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.6%.
Revenues continue to rise as a result of acquisitions closed through September 30, 2014, as well as organic growth of $1,000,000 or 10.0 % on the base business, as enrollments continued to trend higher. Student count on a "same store" basis was up 4% year over year.
"Our third quarter continued to demonstrate the potential of our acquisition and integration strategy with double digit organic growth and record revenues," said CEO Andrew Ryu. "While the third quarter is traditionally our strongest quarter due to industry seasonality, our exceptional results exceeded our expectations. We are very pleased with the performance of our most recent acquisitions in the third quarter."
On the integration front, Mr. Ryu commented that "we continue to devote significant resources to the integration and consolidation of our acquisitions so that we can realize the synergies inherent in our consolidation strategy. At the end of the third quarter we implemented another wave of restructuring measures that should yield significant savings going forward."

Loyalist to Acquire Largest Agency in South Korean
Nachrichtenquelle: Marketwired | 24.11.2014, 15:01 | 53 Aufrufe | 0 | druckversion
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 24, 2014) - Loyalist Group Limited ("Loyalist", the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:LOY) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all the shares of Uhak.com ("Uhak"), a South Korean based student recruiting agency, providing information and registration services to South Korean students looking to study abroad.
Uhak had consolidated revenue of $10.3 million, representing student tuition fees of approximately $40 million, and adjusted net income of $1.0 million (EBITDA $1.2 million) in the 12-month period ended December 2013.
"This acquisition adds a new dimension to Loyalist's vertical integration strategy," said Chief Executive Officer Andrew Ryu. "By acquiring one of our largest agency partners, we will be in a position to reduce our direct costs of attracting students, as well as strengthening ourselves a source for growing our student population, with an expected annualized additional net benefit of approximately $2.0 million within the first year. We look forward to welcoming the Uhak team into the Loyalist family."
Loyalist will pay $8.1 million for Uhak, of which $5.3 million will be paid in cash, subject to certain closing adjustments, and $2.8 million will be paid through the issuance of 5,384,615 Loyalist common shares at a price of $0.52 per share, with $2.2 million of such shares being held in escrow for a period up to 24 months following closing as security for certain defined post-closing adjustments. The parties expect to complete the transaction on or around December 5, 2014.
Mr. Ryu also stated "It should be noted that students do not necessarily have to attend one of our schools for Loyalist to benefit from students going overseas to study, as we will share in the commission fees for students who might choose to attend a school in another country (for example Australia, the USA or England)".
Completion of the transaction is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the Bank of Korea.
