LGC Capital to issue shares in payment of two debts

Symbol: TSX-V: QBA

MONTREAL, Sept, 5, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - LGC Capital Ltd. (TSXV: QBA) ("LGC") announces that it has reached an agreement to issue an aggregate of 1,230,468 common shares in settlement of two debts in an aggregate amount of $124,585 (the "Debt Settlement").  The debts are with, respectively, an insider of LGC and a company for which such insider serves as Finance Director and Corporate Secretary.

The Board of Directors and Management of LGC Capital believe that the Debt Settlement is in the best interests of LGC as it will help LGC preserve its cash position. The common shares to be issued pursuant to the Debt Settlement will be issued at a deemed price of $0.10125 per share and will be subject to a four-month hold period pursuant to applicable securities regulations and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The 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 Debt Settlement will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as LGC's 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 in the Debt Settlement nor of the services provided in connection with the two debts which are the subject of the Debt Settlement exceeds 25% of LGC's market capitalization.

The Debt Settlement is subject to regulatory approval, including that of the TSX Venture Exchange.
