The Company entered into shares for debt settlement agreements with a current director and a company controlled by a current director (each a “Creditor”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to each Creditor, and each Creditor agreed to accept 1,640,625 Shares (the “Settlement Shares”) at a price of $0.032 per Share in full and final settlement (the “Debt Settlement”) of accrued and outstanding indebtedness in the amount of $52,500 for directors’ fees (the “Debt”) owing to each such Creditor (the “Debt Settlement”).
The issuance of the Settlement Shares to each Creditor will be considered to be a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”); however, the issuances are exempt from the minority approval and formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101.
