Amilot Capital Announces Shares for Debt Transaction

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISSEMINATION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES

TORONTO, Aug. 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amilot Capital Inc. (TSX-V: TOM) (the “Company”), announced that it has settled $77,500 of indebtedness (the “Indebtedness”) through the issuance of common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”). Pursuant to the settlement of the Indebtedness (the “Debt Settlement”), the Company issued 1,550,000 Common Shares at a deemed price of $0.05 per Common Share to a corporation (the “Creditor”) controlled by a director and officer of the Company on account of fees accrued for management services provided to the Company. The Company chose to settle the Indebtedness through the issuance of Common Shares to preserve cash and improve the Company’s balance sheet. The Debt Settlement was conditionally approved by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) on June 21, 2019.

The issuance of the Common Shares to the Creditor is subject to the receipt of final approval of the TSXV. The Common Shares issued pursuant to the Debt Settlement will be subject to a four month hold period which will expire on the date that is four months and one day from the date of issuance.

As a director and officer of the Corporation controls the Creditor, the Debt Settlement is considered a “related party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). Such director and officer declared his conflict of interest to the Company’s board of directors and did not participate in the ultimate decision-making deliberations of the board of directors regarding the Debt Settlement. The Debt Settlement is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to the Creditor nor the consideration paid by the Creditor exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

As part of the Debt Settlement, the Company wrote off an additional $367,920 of management fees owed to the Creditor and $301,788 of legal fees as initial steps in a debt restructuring plan. These transactions were reported in the Company’s financial statements for the period ended April 30, 2019, a copy of which is available at www.sedar.com under the Company’s profile.
