Shares for Debt Transaction
In addition, the Company reports that its board
of directors has approved the settlement of $237,675 of debt
through the issuance of common shares of Victory Square (the
"Debt Settlement"). Pursuant to the Debt
Settlement, the Company would issue up to 2,726,317 common shares
of the Company (the "Shares") at a deemed price of
$0.08 per Share, including 2,437,500 common shares to a director
and officer of the Company (the “Creditor”).
The issuance of the Shares to the Creditor is
subject to the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange. All
securities issued will be subject to a four month hold period which
will expire on the date that is four months and one day from the
date of issue.
There was no material undisclosed information at
the time of Debt Settlement.
As an insider participated in the Debt
Settlement, it is considered to be a "related party transaction"
under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority
Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI
61-101"). All of the independent directors of the Company,
acting in good faith, considered the transaction and have
determined that the deemed value of the securities being issued to
the insider and the consideration being paid is reasonable. The
Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the valuation and
minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained
in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(b) of MI 61-101.
