New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 25, 2025) - Reklaim Ltd. (OTC Pink: MYIDF) (TSXV: MYID) ("Reklaim" or the "Company"), the platform that empowers consumers to access, control, and monetize their personal data, is pleased to announce that the Company and Neil Sweeney, the CEO of the Company and a director, have agreed to extend the maturity date of the senior secured debenture held by Mr. Sweeney, originally issued on February 24, 2022 (see the Company's news release dated February 24, 2022, for further details) (the "2022 Debenture") from February 24, 2025, to February 12, 2027 (the "Extension"), which is evidenced by an amended and restated debenture issued to Mr. Sweeney (the "Amended and Restated Debenture").
The Amended and Restated Debenture is in the principal amount of $205,000, which reflects repayments made by the Company to Mr. Sweeney and contains substantially the same terms as the 2022 Debenture. All other holders of 2022 Debentures have been repaid.
The Extension is considered a related party transaction within the meaning of Policy 5.9 of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as a result of Mr. Sweeney being the CEO and a director of the Company. The Company relied on the exemptions under Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements in respect of the Extension under MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the Amended and Restated Debenture nor the fair market value of the original consideration received from Mr. Sweeney, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the completion of the Extension, which the Company deemed reasonable in the circumstances as the terms of the Amended and Restated Debenture had not been settled and the Company wished to complete the Extension in an expeditious manner.
