Vaughan, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 26, 2024) - Delota Corp. (CSE: LOTA) ("Delota" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company intends to settle (together, the "Debt Settlements") up to a maximum of $215,000.10 in debt through the issuance of up to a maximum of 1,535,715 units of the Company (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.14 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional Common Share (each, a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.15 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.

The Company and each respective creditor have agreed to complete the Debt Settlements to preserve the Company's cash for working capital. A portion of the debt being settled includes accrued wages to officers and directors of the Company, but none of the debt includes payment for Investor Relations Activities (as such term is defined in the polices of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE")).

All securities proposed to be issued in connection with the Debt Settlements will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance. Each Debt Settlement is expected to close concurrently on or about February 5, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, finalizing all contractual documentation and receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals, as applicable, including compliance with the policies of the CSE.

Related Party Transaction

A portion of the settled debt, in the amount of $165,000.08, will constitute a "related party transaction", as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") due to the involvement of each of Cameron Wickham, Ankit Gosain, Daniel Pelchovitz, Marc Askenasi and Steven Glaser (together, the "Insiders"), each of whom is a director and/or officer of the Company, and would require the Company to receive minority shareholder approval for, and obtain a formal valuation for the subject matter of, the transaction in accordance with MI 61-101, prior to the completion of each such transaction. However, in completing each respective Debt Settlement, the Company intends to rely on exemptions from: (x) the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101, on the basis that the Company is not listed on Specified Markets (as defined in MI 61-101), as determined in accordance with MI 61-101; and (y) the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, on the basis that the fair market value of each of the Insider's participation in their respective Debt Settlement does not and will not exceed $2,500,000, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
