SECTION 2 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On March 30, 2020, Petroteq Energy Inc. (the "Company") issued to Petroleum Capital Funding L.P., an arm's length private lender (the "Lender"), a secured convertible debenture (the "March 30, 2020 Debenture") in the principal amount of US$471,000, which after taking into account an original issue discount (the "OID") of US$78,500, or approximately 16.67%, resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of US$392,500. 

As contemplated by a term sheet between the Company and the Lender dated March 26, 2019, and described in Note 13(l) to the Company's unaudited condensed financial statements for the three months ended November 20, 2019 and 2018 (the "Q1 Financial Statements"), the Company has previously issued to the Lender: (a) a secured convertible debenture dated and issued as of November 26, 2019 (the "November 26, 2019 Debenture") in the principal amount of US$318,000, which after taking into account an OID of US$53,000, or approximately 16.67%, resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of US$265,000; and (b) a secured convertible debenture dated and issued as of December 4, 2019 (the "December 4, 2019 Debenture" and together with the November 26, 2019 Debenture and the March 30, 2020 Debenture, the "Debentures") in the principal amount of US$432,000, which after taking into account an OID of US$72,500, or approximately 16.67%, resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of US$360,000.  The Q1 Financial Statements have been included in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended November 30, 2019 (the "Q1 Form 10-Q", as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 21, 2020.  For additional information concerning the November 26, 2019 Debenture and the December 4, 2019 Debenture, refer to Notes 13(l) and 29(b) of the Q1 Financial Statements, and Item 5 of Part II of the Q1 Form 10-Q.

Each Debenture has a term of 48 months, and bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable quarterly.

The Company's obligations to the Lender under the Debentures have been secured by a first priority lien on all bitumen reserves at the Company's Asphalt Ridge property, consisting of 8,000 acres.

The OID principal amount of each Debenture is convertible: (a) at the option of the holder into ‎common shares of the Company at a conversion price (each, a "Conversion Price") per share specified in such Debenture and determined in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange; and (b) at the option of the Company at the Conversion Price in the event that the closing price of the common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is above US$0.40 for twenty (20) consecutive trading days, with average daily volume greater than 1,000,000 common shares over such period.  The March 30, 2020 Debenture provides of a Conversion Price of US$0.08 per share, and each of the November 26, 2019 Debenture and the December 4, 2019 Debenture provides of a Conversion Price of US$0.17 per share.


The Company has granted certain registration rights to the Lender in respect of any shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures, and any shares issuable upon exercise of common share purchase warrants issued to the Lender in connection with the offering of the Debentures.

The net proceeds have been used by the Company on its extraction technology in Asphalt Ridge, Utah, and for working capital.
