The Debentures mature on November 21, 2019 and bear interest ("Interest") at a rate of 10% per annum, which Interest is payable under the terms of the Debentures annually as to 50% in cash and 50% by the issuance of Shares at a price per Share equal to the Market Price (as defined in the Policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange")) on the anniversary of the date of issuance of the Debentures, being November 21, 2018.
Despite the terms of the Debentures, the Company intends on paying all of the Interest in Shares to holders of the Debentures to settle the outstanding interest payment obligation for the fourth year of the term of the Debentures.
Accordingly, the Company intends to issue 6,048,593 Shares at a price of $0.115 per Share in settlement of Interest owing of $695,588.20 (the "Debt Settlement").
Insiders of the Company will be issued an aggregate of 5,482,609 Shares pursuant to the Debt Settlement, which will constitute a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The intended issuance to insiders is exempt from the valuation requirement of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in section 5.5(b) as the Company's shares are not listed on a specified market and from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the consideration of the Shares to be issued to the related parties will not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company will close on the payment of the Interest in Shares in less than 21 days as the payment of Interest is due pursuant to the terms of the Debentures.
