Eve & Co Announces Shares for Debt Transaction
January 31 2022 - 7:30AM
Eve & Co Incorporated (“
Eve & Co” or the
“
Company”) (TSX-V: EVE; OTCQX: EEVVF) is pleased
to announce it has entered into debt settlement agreements (the
“
Debt Settlement Agreements”) with certain
directors, officers, employees, and debentureholders (the
“
Parties”) whereby it has agreed to settle an
aggregate of $657,000 in payables (the “
Payables”)
owed to the Parties related to expenses, loans and services
rendered to the Company up to January 2022 in exchange for an
aggregate of 5,189,606 common shares in the capital of the Company
(the “
Settlement Shares”). The Company is
proposing to issue the Settlement Shares to settle the Payables in
order to preserve cash for general working capital purposes.
Pursuant to the terms of the Debt Settlement
Agreements, the Company has agreed to issue an aggregate of 908,677
Settlement Shares at a deemed issuance price of $0.12 per
Settlement Share in full and final satisfaction of $109,041 of
certain trade payables, directors’ fees, and salaries and an
aggregate of 4,280,929 Settlement Shares at a deemed issuance price
of $0.128 per Settlement Share in full and final satisfaction of
$547,959 owed to the holders of the Company’s outstanding 10%
unsecured convertible debentures that were issued on December 11,
2020.
Insiders of the Company (the
“Insiders”) are expected to receive 1,916,667
Settlement Shares in settlement of $242,500 of debt. Pursuant to
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority
Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI
61-101"), the settlement of the Payables will constitute a
"related party transaction" as the Insiders are considered to be
related parties to the Company. The Company will rely on exemptions
from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI
61-101 (pursuant to subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a)) as the fair
market value of the securities to be distributed to, and the
consideration received from, the Insiders will not exceed 25% of
the Company's market capitalization. The settlement of the Payables
has been approved by all of the independent directors of the
Company. All securities issued pursuant to the Debt Settlement
Agreements will be subject to statutory and TSX Venture Exchange
(“TSXV”) hold periods until the date that is four
months and one day from the date of issuance.
Settlement of the Payables and issuance of the
Settlement Shares is subject to the acceptance of the TSXV. There
is no guarantee that such conditions precedent will be satisfied or
that any of the transactions will be completed as described herein
or at all.
