(TSXV:EWS) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into two debt conversion agreements (the “Debt Conversions”) with EWI Investors LLC (of which Robert Savage is the Managing Member and a director of the Company) and Bob MacBean, Chief Executive Officer of the Company (collectively, the “Related Creditors”). The Debt Conversions provide for an aggregate of $1,282,017 of the Company’s outstanding debts to be settled through the issuance of an aggregate of common shares at a price equal to the higher of $0.23 or the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares for the ten (10) days following the date hereof.

 

This is the latest in a series of transactions to improve the Company’s balance sheet so that it will be better able to take advantage of demand for the Company’s technology, including recently announced developments.

 

The Debt Conversion agreement with EWI Investors, LLC, is in respect of the settlement of $1,119,517 owing under the promissory note dated April 12, 2017, as amended on September 16, 2019 (the “EWI Investors Settlement”). The Debt Conversion with Bob MacBean is in respect of the settlement of $162,500 pursuant to a salary and expense deferral agreement dated September 12, 2019 (the “MacBean Settlement”). The common shares issued pursuant to the Debt Conversions will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and a day from the date of issuance.

 

Under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”), the EWI Investors Settlement requires the approval of disinterested shareholders of the Company because EWI Investors, LLC will become a new control person of the Company since it will own over 20% of the Company’s common stock. The Company will seek shareholder approval of the EWI Investors Settlement at its upcoming annual and special shareholders’ meeting scheduled for July 7, 2021 (the “Meeting”). Further information in respect of the EWI Investors Settlement will be provided in the management information circular mailed to shareholders in connection with the Meeting. The MacBean Settlement is not subject to shareholder approval and will close on or about June 8, 2021.

The Company is relying on exemptions from the MI 61-101 formal valuation and minority approval requirements applicable to related party transactions available as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, each of the Related Party Transactions, exceeds 25% of the Corporation’s market capitalization at the time at which such transactions were agreed to. The Related Party Transactions were approved by directors of the Company who are independent of the related parties.
