In addition, the Company has completed a debt settlement of $424,764 with its creditors, primarily current and former directors, through the issuance of 8,494,920 Units. These Units were issued at a deemed price of $0.05 per Unit, with Warrants exercisable at C$0.075 for a term of three years.
Director Resignation The Company announces that, effective November 26, 2024, Sir Robert Neill has resigned as a director of GreenBank Capital, citing family and professional commitments. The Board expresses its gratitude to Sir Robert for his valuable contributions and dedication during his tenure. We extend our best wishes for his future endeavors.
The debt conversions with present and past directors and officers and companies owned or controlled by them is a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101. The Company relied on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the participation in the offering by insiders will not exceed 25 per cent of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing of the Offering and Debt Conversion, a decision which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances as to be able to avail itself of the proceeds of the Offering in an expeditious manner.
