TORONTO, ON / TheNewswire / June 15, 2017 –
BlueOcean NutraSciences Inc. (“BlueOcean” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: BOC) announces that it has entered into debt restructuring
agreements with the holders of $642,000 of unsecured debt (the “Debt”) formerly held by TransAlta Generation Partnership
(“TransAlta”) and an agreement with a service provider to issue shares for provided services with a deemed value of
$35,000.
Debt restructuring
The Company has entered into agreements with the arm’s-length holders of $321,000 of the Debt whereby it will
issue 2,791,301 common shares (the “Debt Shares”) of BlueOcean at a deemed price of $0.115 per Debt Share to settle
the obligation. This issuance is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the Debt Shares issued will be
subject to a 4-month-plus-1-day hold period from the date of issuance. This shares-for-debt settlement and subsequent
issuance of the Debt Shares will not create a new Control Person.
The Company has also entered into an agreement with Pathfinder Asset Management Limited (“PAML”) to convert the
remaining Debt of $321,000 to a secured debt (the “Secured Debt) in the amount of $200,000. The Secured Debt will be
collateralized with a general security agreement granted by BlueOcean to PAML that provides a floating charge against BlueOcean’s
interest in personal, real, immovable and leasehold property. The Secured Debt will bear an annual interest rate of 0%
beginning June 14, 2017 until June 14, 2018 and 10% per annum, compounded monthly, beginning on June 14, 2018 until maturity on
June 14, 2022, or until the principal and all accrued interest are repaid in full.
Shares for services
The Company has also entered into an agreement with a service provider to issue 304,347 common shares (the
“Service Shares) of the Company at a deemed price of $0.115, to settle a debt in the amount of $35,000. This issuance is
subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the Service Shares issued will be subject to a 4-month-plus-1-day hold
period from the date of issuance. This shares-for-debt settlement and subsequent issuance of the Service Shares will not
create a new Control Person.
After issuance of the Debt Shares and the Service Shares, the Company will have 31,783,463 Common Shares
outstanding.
