  • On December 9, 2020, the former CEO resigned as a director of the Company. In connection with the departure, the Company agreed to return assets to the former CEO’s holding company that were acquired by the Company in May 2020. Moreover, the former CEO agreed to (i) surrender for cancellation 425,000 common shares of the Company and 200,000 stock options, (ii) forgive and release approximately $1,000,000 owed by the Company to the former CEO, and (iii) assist and guarantee the repayment of $150,000 owing by the Company to its principal creditor, Amcomri.
  • On December 21, 2020, the Company has entered into a further bridge financing arrangement (the “Facility”) with Amcomri.
