Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 6, 2023) - James Bay Resources Limited (CSE: JBR) ("James Bay" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has agreed to issue an aggregate of 22,078,840 common shares (each, a "Share") at a deemed price of $0.05 per Share to certain directors, officers and creditors of the Company (the "Creditors") as full and final payment of debt in the aggregate amount of $1,103,942 (the "Debt Settlement"), which debt was for certain expenses and unpaid remuneration for services performed by the Creditors. The Company intends to complete the Debt Settlement on or about July 14, 2023. The 12 million Shares issuable to the Company's CEO, Stephen Shefsky, for amounts owing to him as part of the Debt Settlement will be held in escrow and only released upon James Bay entering into an agreement to acquire an active business.
The Debt Settlement will constitute a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The issuance of the Shares to the Creditors, however, will be exempt from the valuation requirement of MI 61-101 by the virtue of the exemption contained in section 5.5(b) as the Company's Shares are not listed on a specified market and from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in Section 5.7(1)(b) as neither the fair market value of the Shares nor the consideration to be received for those Shares, insofar as the transaction involves interested parties, exceeds $2,500,000.
