SuperBuzz Issues Correction to the Debt Settlement Transaction That Closed on July 8, 2024
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 5, 2024) - SuperBuzz Inc. (TSXV: SPZ) ("SuperBuzz" or the "Company"), with its head office address located at 1 Adelaide Street East, Suite 801, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 2V9, today announced that it is filing corrective disclosure of the Company's continuous disclosure relating to the debt settlement transaction that closed on July 5, 2024.
Further to the Company's press releases dated February 21, 2024, June 3, 2024 and July 8, 2024 the Company settled C$1,199,298.66 of debt (the "Debt Settlement Transaction") through the issuance of Units (as defined herein) and common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Common Shares"). Each Unit was priced at C$0.03 per Unit and comprised of one Common Share and one warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Debt Settlement at an exercise price of $0.05 per Common Share.
Dror Erez, being a 10% security holder of the Company (the "Insider") was issued 7,583,393 Units to settle his debt pursuant to the Debt Settlement Transaction. However, Section 3.1 of TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") Policy 4.3 - Shares for Debt provides that Non-Arm's Length Parties (as defined in TSXV policies) may only receive shares as settlement for debt and that warrants may not be issued in addition to share settlements where a Non-Arm's Length Party is a creditor. Consequently, the Insider should not have received Units, and should have only received Common Shares to settle their debt with the Company. The Company has taken corrective action to ensure compliance with TSXV policies by cancelling the Warrants that were issued to the Insider pursuant to the Debt Settlement Transaction (the "Correction").
The Company disclosed in its press release dated June 3, 2024, that a total of 36,929,955 Units were being issued to arm's-length creditors to settle $1,107,898.66 of debt and 3,046,667 Common Shares were being issued to Non-Arm's Length creditors to settle $91,400.00 of debt. After the Correction, the Company has issued (i) 10,630,060 Common Shares to non-arm's length creditors to settle C$318,901.79 of debt; and (ii) 29,346,562 Units to arm's length creditors to settle C$880,396.87 of debt.
Related Party Transaction
The Correction constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transaction ("MI 61-101") because C$227,501.79 of debt was settled with the Insider of the Company. The Company relied on exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the Correction does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the Correction on SEDAR+ less than 21 days prior to the closing of the Correction because the Company wished to immediately implement the Correction to ensure compliance with TSXV policies.
