The Board of Directors has determined it is in the best interests of the Corporation to settle the AfriMet Debt by the issuance of Common Shares in order to preserve the Corporation’s cash for general working capital purposes.
This transaction constitutes a “related party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), as AfriMet is a significant shareholder. Pursuant to MI 61-101, the Corporation will file a material change report providing disclosure in relation to each "related party transaction" on SEDAR+ under the Corporation’s issuer profile at www.sedarplus.ca. The Corporation did not file the material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing date of the AfriMet Debt Settlement as the details of the agreement were not settled until shortly prior to the conclusion of the Agreement, and the Corporation wished to sign the Agreement on an expedited basis for sound business reasons. The Corporation is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements available under MI 61-101. The Corporation is exempt from the formal valuation requirement in section 5.4 of MI 61-101 in reliance on sections 5.5(a) and (b) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves the significant shareholder, is not more than the 25% of the Corporation’s market capitalization, and no securities of the Corporation are listed or quoted for trading on prescribed stock exchanges or stock markets. Additionally, the Corporation is exempt from minority shareholder approval requirement in section 5.6 of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.7(1)(a) as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves the controlling shareholder, is not more than the 25% of the Corporation’s market capitalization.
Closing of the AfriMet Debt Settlement is subject to customary closing conditions and the Corporation intends to close as soon as practicable. Upon closing, the Corporation will make all necessary filings, including the filing of early warning report as required. The Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the AfriMet Debt Settlement will be subject to a hold period of four (4) months and one (1) day from the date of issuance.
