SECTION 8 - OTHER EVENTS
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 27, 2021, the Company issued a news release announcing:
The following amendments to three previously-issued convertible promissory notes that were disclosed in the Company's news release on October 6, 2021:
The proposed debt conversion transactions are subject to approval of the directors of the Company and regulatory approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). The common shares will be issued in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and applicable state securities laws, and will be issued as "restricted securities" (as defined in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act). In addition, the common shares issuable pursuant to the debt conversion transactions will be subject to a Canadian four-month hold period.
While the amendments to the convertible promissory notes are intended to ensure that the notes comply with the policies of the Exchange, the notes and the amendments are ultimately subject to approval of the Exchange.
To the extent that the amendments of the convertible promissory notes may be deemed for the purposes of the U.S. Securities Act to involve the offer and sale of replacement securities to the respective noteholders in exchange for the existing convertible promissory notes, the Company will be relying on the registration exemption provided by section 3(a)(9) of the U.S. Securities Act. The convertible promissory notes, as amended, will continue to be restricted securities. The underlying common shares issuable upon conversion of the promissory notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States, or to or for the account or benefit of any U.S. person or any person in the United States absent an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
The Company continues to work with the Exchange on a reinstatement of trading and will update the market as things progress. The Company continues to operate normally and is working diligently to answers questions from the Exchange.
