“We are delighted to announce the Debenture amendments which we view as a strong vote of confidence in the Company from the largest Debentureholder, Max Desmarais.

These amendments are incredibly meaningful and accretive for all shareholders in the long run, such that the Company can aggressively pursue its short term future goals,” shared Jon Dwyer, CEO and Chairman.
Pursuant to the terms of the Original Indentures, the Company has received the requisite debenture holder approval to amend the terms of Debentures as follows: (i) the maturity date of the original debentures has been amended from November 3, 2027 and November 24, 2027 to September 9, 2025 (the “Maturity Date“); (ii) the interest rate has been amended from 12% per annum to 15% per annum payable on the Maturity Date; (iii) the principal amount of the Debentures will be automatically converted on the Maturity Date into common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares“) at a conversion price of $0.025 per Common Share (subject to certain TSX restrictions imposed to ensure no more than 63,111,335 Common Shares are issued to any one debenture holder and no more than 157,778,339 Common Shares are issued in the aggregate unless Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX“) and/or shareholder approval is obtained and no more than ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of the date of conversion are issued to any one debenture holder (collectively, the “TSX Thresholds“), unless in all respects TSX and/or shareholder approval is obtained by the Company); and (iv) the Debentures being amended to unsecured debentures of the Company (collectively, the “Amendments“).
Further, as part of the Amendments the accrued and unpaid interest of the Debentures may automatically convert into Common Shares at a price equal to the higher of: (i) $0.025; or (ii) the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the TSX for the five business days preceding the conversion date, less applicable discounts in accordance with the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange, subject to the TSX Thresholds.
