Aztec Minerals Corp. Arranges $60,000 in Working Capital Loans
VANCOUVER, May 22, 2020 - Aztec Minerals Corp. (TSXV:AZT)(OTCQB:AZZTF) ("Aztec" or the "Company") announces it has arranged an aggregate of CAD$60,000 in loans from two insiders and a strategic investor. Each loan bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable on maturity, and has a term of 6 months, provided that the Company may prepay without penalty. Subject to regulatory approval, a loan bonus totaling 300,000 warrants will be issuable to the lenders, with each warrant being exercisable to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $0.20 for a period of one year. Funds from the loans will be used for working capital purposes.
The loans and related loan bonus constitute "related party transactions" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), as two of the lenders, Bradford Cooke and James Schilling, are directors of the Company. The Company is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with loans in reliance on the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, as the fair market value of the transaction does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The loans and related loan bonuses have been reviewed and approved by a majority of the independent directors of the Company.
