Perisson Debt Conversion

CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / February 13, 2020 / Perisson Petroleum Corporation ("Perisson" or the "Company") (TSXV:POG) is pleased to update its shareholders concerning the planned conversion of all of its debt. Resulting from the debt conversions discussed below, the Company will be debt-free.

The holders of the Company's outstanding $3,000,000 in convertible debentures have requested the Company, and the Company has agreed, to immediately convert the outstanding principal, interest and penalties, an aggregate amount of $4,868,405 to common shares at the contracted price of $0.05 per share (approximately 97,368,100 common shares), as disclosed in the Company's press release dated February 13, 2018.

The holders of the Company's outstanding $4,000,000 in secured debentures previously agreed to convert their debt into common shares of the Company at $0.09 per common share, as disclosed in the Company's press release dated July 25, 2019. However, due to the weakening price of the Company's common shares, the holders of the debentures have required a revision of the debenture terms to modify the conversion price to $0.055 per share and to retain security on the Company's assets until the Financing, previously announced on July 25, 2019, is completed. The holders have requested the Company to immediately convert the outstanding principal, interest and penalties owed, in the aggregate amount of approximately $5,139,988, at $0.055 per share (approximately 93,454,327 common shares).

Related to the transaction, pursuant to a debt purchase agreement between Mr. Gary Chen, CEO and Chairman of the Company and the debenture holders, Mr. Chen will receive 52% of the common shares to be issued to the debenture holders (approximately 99,227,662 common shares). After conversion, Mr. Chen will hold approximately 9.5% or 103,394,323 common shares of the Company. The shares issued in connection with the conversion of the debentures and the contemplated Financing will be subject to a four-month hold period and are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
