This shares for debt transaction is the second step in improving the Company’s Statements of Financial Position.

The first step was the acceptance by various creditors to transfer current liabilities of approximately $3.241 million new two-year debentures (the “New Debentures”) bearing interest at 12% per annum, as announced on February 16, 2022. This agreement provides clarity and repayment certainty on a sizable portion of the Company’s debt.

The third step will occur when approval is received from regulatory bodies for an additional shares for debt transaction of approximately $361,114 as previously announced on February 22, 2022.

The Company has completed the Arrangement by issuing an aggregate of 14,608,936 common shares at a deemed price of $0.05 per share in settlement of debts owned of 730,447. Mr. Kozar is deemed to be a “related party”, as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), being a control person in the Company, holding approximately 25.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. The shares are subject to a four month hold period.

For this transaction, the Company has relied on the exemption from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 contained in section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 and has relied on the exemption from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101.
