REYKJAVIK, ICELAND / ACCESSWIRE / December 2, 2024 / Greenbank Capital (CSE:GBC)(OTCMKTS:GRNBF)(FRA:2TL) ("GreenBank" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the successful closing of the first tranche of its previously announced private placement, raising a total of $591,419 by issuing in total of 16,828,570 units.

The Company also announces that it expects it will be unable to file its annual financial statements, management discussion and analysis and related certifying officer certificates for the year ended July 31, 2024 (the "Required Filings") on or before the November 28, 2024, filing deadline (the "Filing Deadline"). The Company's annual audit has been delayed due to a focus on restructuring and streamlining operations during a period of significant corporate transition.

The Company expects the Ontario Securities Commission to be issuing a failure-to-file cease trade order (FFCTO) after the due date against the Issuer for failure to file such documents.

The Company has not taken any steps towards any insolvency proceeding and the Company has no other material information to release to the public.

Private Placement Update
The Company has raised $166,673 through the issuance of 8,333,650 units of the Company (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.02 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of GreenBank at an exercise price of C$0.075, valid for a period of Three years from the date of issuance.

In addition, the Company has completed a debt settlement of $424,764 with its creditors, primarily current and former directors, through the issuance of 8,494,920 Units. These Units were issued at a deemed price of $0.05 per Unit, with Warrants exercisable at C$0.075 for a term of three years.

Director Resignation

The Board expresses its gratitude to Sir Robert for his valuable contributions and dedication during his tenure. We extend our best wishes for his future endeavors.

The debt conversions with present and past directors and officers and companies owned or controlled by them is a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101. The Company relied on the 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 participation in the offering by insiders will not exceed 25 per cent 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 related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing of the Offering and Debt Conversion, a decision which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances as to be able to avail itself of the proceeds of the Offering in an expeditious manner.
