(TheNewswire)

Calgary, Alberta TheNewswire – October 4, 2021 Universal Ibogaine Inc. (” UI ” or the ” Company “), formerly P Squared Renewables Inc. (” PSQ “), advises that it has received an extension on the maturity date of $350,000 of convertible promissory notes payable (the ” Loans “) to February 28, 2021, subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the ” TSXV “).

The Loans were received by UI on May 31, 2021 from three arms length parties (the ” Lenders ” ) and were used in conjunction with deposits paid for the Company’s acquisition of the Kelburn Clinic in Manitoba.  The Loans bear interest at 10%, are repayable by UI at any time, and were originally to mature August 31, 2021.  The Lenders have agreed to extend the maturity date of the Loans, which  are convertible at the option of the Lenders at any time on or before the due date into UI common shares at a price of $0.25 per common share.  Conversion of the full balance of the Loans would result in the issuance of 1,400,000 UI common shares.

Engagement of Market Marker Firms

UI also advises that, subject to TSXV approval, it has retained Independent Trading Group (ITG), Inc. (“ ITG ”) and Generation IACP Inc. (“ GIACP” ) to provide market-making services in compliance with the policies and guidelines of the TSXV and other applicable legislation.   Both ITG and GIACP will trade UI common shares on the TSXV with the objective of maintaining a reasonable market and improving the stability and liquidity of the Company’s common shares.

ITG will receive a monthly fee of $5,000 per month, with an initial minimum term of three months, automatically renewable thereafter for successive one-month terms until terminated by either party upon 30 days notice.

GIACP will receive a fee $7,500 per month payable quarterly in advance, with the fee increasing by 3% on each anniversary of the engagement. The engagement is effective once UI’s common shares commence trading on the TSXV on October 5, and has an initial term of six months, automatically renewable for successive six-month terms thereafter, and can be terminated by either party upon 30 days notice.

For both of ITG and GIACP (the “ Market Marker Firms ”), there are no performance factors contained in the agreements, and neither ITG or GIACP will not receive common shares or options of the Company as compensation.
