EasTower Wireless Receives Additional Cash Injection From Management and Announces Debt Conversions
24 November 2022 - 9:00AM
EasTower Wireless Inc. (“
EasTower” or the
“
Company”) (TSXV:ESTW), announces that it has
received an additional cash loan from its founder and CEO, Vlado P.
Hreljanovic, to assist with meeting current working capital
requirements. Mr. Hreljanovic has loaned an additional US$67,200
to the Company pursuant to a demand promissory note bearing
interest at 8% per annum from the date of issue, payable on
maturity. The loan, and the US$90,000 loan previously provided by
Mr. Hreljanovic to the Company (announced on November 4, 2022),
is secured by the accounts receivables of the Company’s indirect
wholly owned operating subsidiary and is fully redeemable, without
bonus or penalty, at any time by the Company.
In addition, the Company intends to complete a
series of debt conversions to decrease the Company’s debt and
preserve the Company’s cash for working capital.
- Four directors of the Company (Ted
Boyle, Joel Liebman, Fred Buzzelli and Margaret Perialas) have
agreed to accept an aggregate of 4,018,800 common shares of the
Company at a deemed price of CAD$0.01 per share in satisfaction of
accrued and unpaid monthly director sitting fees, representing an
aggregate of US$30,000 of indebtedness.
- Two senior officers of the Company
(Mr. Hreljanovic and Ms. Perialas) have agreed to accept an
aggregate of 15,864,817 common shares of the Company at a deemed
price of CAD$0.01 per share in satisfaction of a portion of accrued
and unpaid salary from May 2020 to March 2022, representing an
aggregate of US$118,429.52 of indebtedness.
- In addition, the Company intends to
complete a debt conversion transaction with an arm’s length lender,
pursuant to which the Company will issue 15,971,948 common shares
of the Company at a deemed price of $0.01 per share in
satisfaction of US$119,229.24 of indebtedness.
The foregoing transactions are subject to
approval of the directors of the Company and regulatory approval
from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”).
The shares issuable pursuant to the debt conversion transactions
will be issued in reliance on exemptions from the registration
requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), and
applicable state securities laws, and will be issued as “restricted
securities” (as defined in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act).
In addition, the shares will be subject to an Exchange four-month
hold period.
The debt conversion transactions with the
foregoing senior officers and directors of the Company are each
considered a “related party transaction” as defined under
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). The
transactions are each exempt from the formal valuation approval
requirements of MI 61-101 as none of the securities of the Company
are listed on a prescribed stock exchange. The transactions are
each exempt from the minority shareholder approval requirements of
MI 61-101 as at the time they were agreed to, neither the fair
market value of the transaction, nor the fair market value of the
consideration for the transaction, insofar as they involve
interested parties, exceeded 25% of the Company’s market
capitalization, respectively.
While the Company is actively trying to secure
debt or equity financing to assist it in meeting its working
capital requirements, there can be no assurance that one or more
financings will result, or successfully conclude in a timely manner
or at all. Additional information will be released by the Company
as it occurs.
