Highrock Resources Ltd. Announces Issuance of Promissory Note
Toronto, April 10, 2024 - Highrock Resources Ltd. (CSE: HRK) (the "Company" or "Highrock") announces that on November 30, 2023, it issued to an non-arm's length creditor of the Company, Greencastle Resources Ltd. (the "Lender") an interest bearing promissory note (the "Note") in the principal amount of $100,000 (the "Principal Amount"). Interest on the outstanding Principal Amount of the Note will accrue from time to time of the Principal Amount until the Principal Amount is repaid in full at the rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus two per cent, calculated monthly, as well after as before maturity and both before and after default. The Principal Amount and any accrued and unpaid interest owing shall become due and be paid in full on December 31, 2024.
The Lender owns shares of the Company constituting an aggregate of more than 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding. The Note is considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements contained in 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(e) of MI 61-101, as the Company is not listed on a specified market and the Company is in financial hardship. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before issuing the Note as the details of the transaction were not settled until shortly prior to closing, and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis.
The Note was approved by the members of the board of directors of the Company who are independent for the purposes of the Note. No special committee was established in connection with the Note, and no materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director of the Company in relation thereto.
