EQ Inc. Completes Debt Financing
Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - EQ Inc. (TSX: EQ) (the “Corporation”) announced today that, subject to final TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) approval, it has completed its issuance of approximately $1,421,000 non-convertible secured promissory notes (the “Promissory Notes”) and Bonus Warrants (as defined below), the terms of which were initially announced on August 20, 2015. The Promissory Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum, calculated annually, and will be due twelve months from the date of issuance.
In connection with the issuance of the Promissory Notes, the lenders received seven non-transferable warrants (the “Bonus Warrants”) for each dollar of principal amount of Promissory Notes, with each Bonus Warrant being exercisable for a period of twelve months from the date of issuance for one common share of the Corporation (a “Bonus Share”) at an exercise price of $0.10 per Bonus Share. All Bonus Shares are subject to a four month hold period from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities law.
An aggregate of $586,791 of the Promissory Notes were purchased by certain non-arm’s length lenders, being Vernon Lobo, the Chairman and a director of the Corporation, Geoffrey Rotstein, the President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Corporation, and Dilshan Kathriarachchi, the Chief Technology Officer of the Corporation.
The Corporation expects to use the proceeds from the issuance of the Promissory Notes to execute its business plan and for working capital requirements.
The issuance of the Promissory Notes and the Bonus Warrants constitutes a “related party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Corporation is relying, however, on an exemption from the valuation and minority voting requirements of MI 61-101.
