EQ Inc. Completes New Debt Financing

Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - TORONTO, ON – May 10, 2017 -- EQ Inc. (TSXV: EQ) (the “Corporation”) announced today that, subject to final TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) approval, it has completed the debt financing, the terms of which were previously announced on April 5, 2017.  Pursuant to this first tranche closing, the Corporation issued $764,892 non-convertible secured promissory notes (the “Promissory Notes”).  The Promissory Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum, calculated annually, and will be due December 31, 2018.

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 until December 31, 2018, for one common share of the Corporation (a “Common Share”) at an exercise price of $0.13 per Common Share. All Common Shares will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities law.

An aggregate of $241,901 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.

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.
