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 May 25, 2022, VESM entered into the sixth amendment to the Moatfield Drive Purchase Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”), which is appended hereto as Exhibit 10.1. Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, VESM paid a sixth deposit of approximately $4.8 million (C$6 million) from our cash on hand on May 25, 2022, and VESM postponed the purchase of the two Moatfield Drive buildings to June 23, 2022. VESM is also obligated to deliver a fully executed commitment letter from the Bank of China (Canada) or another lender selected by us with respect to our debt financing for the transaction on or prior to May 31, 2022. If VESM does not close the purchase of the Moatfied Drive buildings, it will be required to forfeit the deposit paid under the Sixth Amendment and its prior deposits.
Ms. Fan Zhou, our majority shareholder, has agreed to lend C$6 million (approximately $4.8 million) to us not later than August 31, 2022, in accordance with an agreement dated May 26, 2022, appended hereto as Exhibit 10.2 (the “Zhou Loan Agreement”). Such loan will have a term of one year, be non-interest bearing, and grant us an option to extend the due date for one year. If VESM fails to close the proposed acquisition of the Moatfield Drive buildings and loses its deposit, Ms. Zhou agreed to forgive such $4.8 million (C$6 million) loan.
The foregoing summaries of the Sixth Amendment and the Zhou Loan Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to (1) the Sixth Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report on Form 6-K, and (2) the Zhou Loan Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Report on Form 6-K, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
