TORONTO, Aug. 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Camrova Resources Inc. ("Camrova" or the "Company") (TSX-V: CAV; OTC: BAJFF; SSEV: CAVCL, CAVUSD) wishes to announce that it has entered into a debt conversion agreement with certain arm's length creditors and non-arm's length creditors (the “Debt Conversion Agreement”) of the Company to settle an aggregate of Cdn $146,583 of debt in consideration for the issuance of an aggregate of 1,954,440 common shares of the Company at a deemed price of Cdn $0.075 per share (the “Debt Settlement”).
The shares for debt transaction constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 — Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as insiders of the Company will receive 870,000 common shares of the Company in connection with the Debt Settlement. The Company is relying 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 shares for debt transaction with the insider 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 related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing of the debt settlement, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances as the Company wishes to improve its financial position by reducing its accrued liabilities.
The board and management of Camrova believe that the proposed Debt Settlement is in the best interests of the Company because it allows the Company to preserve its funds for operations.
The Debt Settlement will not create a new control person holding more than 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company. The Debt Settlement is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The common shares issued pursuant to the Debt Settlement will be subject to a statutory four month and one day hold period.
Camrova is pleased to announce that its shares recently commenced trading on the Santiago Stock Exchange Venture ("SSEV") offering access to the Latin American Integrated Market ("MILA"), Latin America's largest stock trading platform. Camrova's shares trading on the SSEV will be denominated in Chilean pesos under the trading symbol "CAVCL" and will also be denominated in US dollars under the trading symbol "CAVUSD".
