Pancontinental Gold Corporation (TSXV:PUC) (“Pancon” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that is has closed its previously announced debt settlement through the issuance of 1,126,000 common shares (the “Common Shares”) in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.07 per Common Share (the “Debt Settlement”).
All Common Shares issued in connection with the Debt Settlement will be subject to a statutory hold period until September 22, 2018, in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
The Debt Settlement constitutes a related party transaction within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”) as an insider of the Company received 500,000 common shares 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 common shares being issued to insiders in connection with the Debt Settlement 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 because the Company wanted to improve its financial position as expeditiously as possible.
