Fieldex Exploration Announces Issuance of Shares in Payment of Certain Debts and Extension of Term of Warrants
ROUYN-NORANDA, March 12, 2020 - Fieldex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: FLX) (FRANKFURT: F7E1) ("Fieldex") announces that it intends to issue an aggregate of 2,276,160 common shares in settlement of debts in an aggregate amount of $113,808. The debts resulted from exploration services ($10,250) and management services ($48,558) provided by two creditors of Fieldex (the "Debt Settlement"); and from management services provided by a company controlled by Fieldex's President and Chief Executive Officer ($55,000) (the "Insider Debt Settlement") from March 2018 to December 2019. In addition, Fieldex has relinquished its interest in the mining claims comprising the Lac Sairs property in favour of one creditor in settlement of a debt in an amount of $10,250, which debt resulted from exploration services. The Insider Debt Settlement is considered a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Insider Debt Settlement will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as Fieldex's securities are not listed on any of the stock exchanges set out in Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 and neither the fair market value of the common shares to be issued to the company controlled by Fieldex's President and Chief Executive Officer, nor the fair market value of the services provided by such company, exceeds 25% of Fieldex's market capitalization.
The common shares to be issued pursuant to the Debt Settlement and the Insider Debt Settlement will be issued at a deemed price of $0.05 per share and will be subject to a four-month hold period pursuant to applicable securities legislation and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Board of Directors and Management of Fieldex believe that the proposed settlement of debts through the issuance of common shares is in Fieldex's best interests as it will allow Fieldex to preserve its cash position.
Extension of Term of Warrants
Fieldex also announces that it has applied to the TSX Venture Exchange for a one-year extension of the term of 1,875,000 common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") that were issued by Fieldex as part of a private placement that closed on April 21, 2017. Each Warrant currently entitles its holder to purchase one additional common share of Fieldex at an exercise price of $0.15 until April 21, 2020.
Subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, the term of the Warrants will be extended to April 21, 2021, for a total term of four years. None of the Warrants have been exercised. 140,000 of the Warrants are held indirectly by a Fieldex director.
The Debt Settlement, Insider Debt Settlement and the extension of the term of the Warrants are subject to regulatory approval, including that of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Changes of Registered Office
Fieldex also announces that it has changed its registered office to 147 Québec Avenue, Rouyn-Noranda, Québec J9X 6M8. The mailing address of Fieldex is now C.P. 491, Rouyn-Noranda, Québec J9X 5C4.
