SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA--(Marketwired - March 15, 2017) - Certive Solutions Inc. (OTCQB:CTVEF) (CSE:CBP)
(CSE:CBP.CN) (CNSX:CBP) - ("Certive" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has issued a total of 35,000,000
voting, non-redeemable, non-participating Class A Preferred Shares to directors, officers, and consultants of the
Company.
By special resolution of the shareholders of the Company at its most recent Annual General and Special Meeting held on
September 19, 2016, the Company was authorized to create a new class of shares, the Class A Preferred Shares, through the filing
of a Notice of Alteration and Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation that became effective on December 6,
2016. Thirty-five million Class A Preferred Shares were authorized and approved for issuance at a meeting of the directors
on February 27, 2017. Accordingly, all thirty-five million shares have now been issued to a total of 10 individuals comprising
directors, officers, and consultants of the Company.
The Class A Preferred Shares are each entitled to one vote at any meeting of shareholders. The shares do not participate
in dividends or liquidation of the assets of the Company on a preferential basis and are only redeemable subject to certain
conditions. All recipients have entered into an agreement (the "Recipient Agreement") regarding the issuance of such shares, the
intention of which is to protect the rights of Common Shareholders and to prevent any potential dilution to the financial
interests of the Common Shareholders without the prior approval of the Common Shareholders.
Each recipient of Class A Preferred Shares has agreed to accept these shares under the terms of the Recipient Agreement, which
provides for the following:
- The Recipient will not be paid any dividends under the terms of the grant of the Preferred Shares and acknowledges that the
grant does not provide for any claim to such dividends.
- The Recipient will vote the Preferred Shares together with the Common Shareholders on an equal basis.
- The Recipient acknowledges that the terms of the Class A Preferred Shares provide for a Right to Convert the Preferred
Shares to Common Shares.
- The Right to Convert is triggered by a Liquidation Event as defined by the terms of the Class A Preferred Shares.
- The Board of Directors has the right to redeem these Class A Preferred Shares under the "Right of Redemption" terms of the
Class A Preferred Shares.
- It is the intention of the Board of Directors to exercise this Right of Redemption prior to any Liquidation Event as
defined in the terms of the Class A Preferred Shares.
- Recipient hereby acknowledges this expressed intention by the Board of Directors and agrees that such exercise will prevent
the ability of the Recipient to exercise any Right to Convert if the Right of Redemption is exercised.
- If the Board of Directors exercises such Right of Redemption, Recipient hereby agrees to accept the Redemption Price
provided for in the terms of the Class A Preferred Shares and will immediately return these Preferred Shares to the Company for
cancellation.
- Recipient agrees that the Preferred Shares will not be transferred to any other person or entity other than back to the
Company unless such transfer is approved by a majority vote of the Common Shareholders. Recipient acknowledges and agrees that
his Preferred Shares will not be voted in that situation.
- In the event Recipient attempts to transfer Preferred Shares without proper approval, the Preferred Shares will be
immediately redeemed and cancelled by the Company.
- In the event of a proposed transaction that involves partial compensation to the Recipient for the transfer of all or a
portion of these Preferred Shares to a buyer other than the Company, Common Shareholders must approve such
transaction. Recipient acknowledges and agrees that his Common Shares as well as his Preferred Shares will not be voted in
that situation.
The Board believes that the Recipient Agreement ensures that the interests of all Common Shareholders are fully protected.
Moreover, the Recipient Agreement enables the Company and its directors to secure contractual arrangements with potential
financiers or acquirers that will place significant enterprise value upon the Company. Insofar as Common Shareholders must
approve any transaction involving compensation to the holders of the Class A Preferred Shares, the Company has provided that the
interests of the Common Shareholders are protected.
