Fieldex Exploration to issue shares in payment of certain debts
ROUYN-NORANDA, QC, Feb. 10, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Fieldex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: FLX) (Frankfurt: F7E) announces that it proposes to issue an aggregate of 1,330,780 common shares in settlement of debts in an aggregate amount of $133,078 (the "Debt Settlements"). The debts resulted from exploration services provided by two creditors of Fieldex. Fieldex also proposes to issue 258,690 common shares in settlement of a debt in an amount of $25,869 for unpaid rent to a company (the "Landlord") in which certain insiders of Fieldex have an interest (the "Insider Debt Settlement").
The Insider Debt Settlement is considered a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Insider Debt Settlement will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as its securities are not listed on any stock exchange identified in Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 and neither the fair market value of the common shares to be issued to the Landlord, nor the fair market value of the services provided by the Landlord, exceeds 25% of Fieldex's market capitalization.
The common shares to be issued pursuant to the Debt Settlements and the Insider Debt Settlement will be issued at a deemed price of $0.10 per share and will be subject to a four-month hold period pursuant to applicable securities legislation and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Board of Directors and Management of Fieldex believe that the proposed settlement of debts by the issuance of common shares is in the best interests of Fieldex as it allows it to preserve its cash position.
The Debt Settlements and the Insider Debt Settlement are subject to regulatory approval, including that of the TSX Venture Exchange.
