Playground Ventures Announces Appointment of CFO and Loan Agreements

Playground Ventures Announces Appointment of CFO and Loan Agreements

Playground Ventures Inc. (CSE: PLAY) (the "Company" or "Playground") announces that further to its press release of June 17, 2022, due to unforeseen circumstances, Ms. Kaylee Whitcroft is unable to continue her tenure as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Mr. Whitcroft will continue as the Company's Operations Accounting Manager. The Company and the board of directors have begun the search to find Ms. Whitcroft's replacement. The board of directors have approved the appointment of Mr. Jon Gill as the Company's Interim Chief Financial Officer.

In addition, the Company announces that it has issued secured promissory grid notes (the "Bridge Notes") to certain lenders (the "Lenders") of the Company for available proceeds to the Company of up to $70,000 (the "Loan"). The Loan has a term until December 31, 2022 (the "Term"), and is secured against all of the assets of the Company. The Corporation may draw on the available proceeds of the Loan from time to time during the Term, and any amounts outstanding under the Bridge Note shall bear interest of 8% per annum, payable with any outstanding principal at the end of the Term.

The Loan contains certain other customary financial and other covenants, and will be used for general working capital purposes. The Bridge Notes are intended to provide immediate capital to the Company while it seeks additional sources of capital, which may include the future issuance of other debt or equity securities, including, without limitation, a formal credit facility, whether with the Lenders or otherwise, to meet the Company's long term capital needs.

One of the Lenders is a director, officer and a shareholder (the "Insider Subscription") of the Company. The Insider Subscription is considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements contained in 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(e) of MI 61-101, as the Company is not listed on a specified market and the Company is in financial hardship. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before issuing the Bridge Notes as the details of the above mentioned Insider Subscription were not settled until shortly prior to closing, and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis.

The Loan was approved by the members of the board of directors of the Company who are independent for the purposes of the Loan, being all directors other than Mr. Gill. No special committee was established in connection with the Bridge Notes, and no materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director of the Company in relation thereto.

Can You Invest in Elon Musk’s Neuralink? (Updated 2024)

Elon Musk's Neuralink has captured the public’s attention and imagination with its futuristic vision of connecting the human brain to computers.

A July 2024 report by IDTechEx projects that the overall brain computer interface market could reach a market value of over US$1.6 billion by 2045.

"We anticipate that the market for non-invasive solutions will grow before the commercialization of invasive solutions from players such as Neuralink," stated the research firm's Senior Technology Analyst Dr. Tess Skyrme. "However, the long-term opportunity within the assistive technology market is more likely to be captured by the likes of Elon Musk."

As Neuralink continues to make strides, investors are wondering how to get a piece of the action by investing in the neurotechnology venture.

Because it is privately held, Neuralink stock isn't accessible to the average person — but that doesn't mean its impossible to get exposure to this future-looking medical research company. Read on to learn how to participate in the growth of this exciting business.
