Item 1.01 - Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On January 24, 2017 the Company completed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the
"Agreement") with a group of accredited investors.
The Debentures are issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under
Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")
and therefore are not registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws
of any state of the United States and cannot be offered, sold, pledged or
otherwise transferred or assigned in the United States or to a resident of the
United States unless an exemption from such registration requirements is
available. This Debenture has not been and will not be qualified for sale or
registered under the laws of any other jurisdiction and any transferee should
refer to the securities laws of any jurisdiction applicable to them.
Under the Agreement, the accredited investors agreed to purchase from us 36
unsecured Debenture Units for gross proceeds of $180,000. Each Debenture Unit is
comprised of (i) the issuance of CDN $5,000 of debentures bearing interest at a
rate of 10% per annum, with a minimum maturity period of five (5) months to a
maximum of two (2) years from the date of issuance and (ii) 500 warrants which
may be exercised at $1.00 per warrant to receive one common share prior to
January 24, 2019. The Debenture shall be designated as Debenture Due
January 24, 2019.
The Company paid finders fees of $14,400 to Echelon Wealth Management to
facilitate the transaction resulting in net proceeds of $165,600.
Echelon is a leading independent, Canadian-owned and operated wealth management
and capital markets firm with more than $4 billion in assets under
administration and management. The firm has clients across Canada through
offices in Toronto, Oakville, Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria,
Saskatoon as well as London and Tokyo.
