VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 15, 2024 / Nepra Foods Inc. (CSE:NPRA)(FSE:2P6)(OTC PINK:NPRFF) ("Nepra Foods" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that the Company has reached agreement with the William Hogan (the "Lender") to convert all of the outstanding US$950,000 principal amount of loan advances made to the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Nepra Foods Ltd., pursuant to a secured loan agreement dated April 5, 2024 (the "Loan Agreement"), together with accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement (collectively, the "Loan Obligations"), which Loan Obligations were set to mature on July 31, 2024, into common shares of the Company ("Common Shares"), at a conversion price equal to C$0.05 per Common Share (the "Conversion Transaction").
Nepra食品制造业公司(CSE:NPRA)(FSE:2P6)(OTC PINK:NPRFF)很高兴地宣布,该公司已达成协议,将于2024年7月31日到期的一份担保贷款协议(“贷款协议”)项下的全部未偿付利息与其他应付款项及在其旗下子公司 Nepra Foods Ltd. 获得的美国950,000美元贷款转换为公司的普通股(“普通股”),转换价格为每股C$0.05。此次转换交易是与William Hogan(“借款人”)达成的。
The total amount of Loan Obligations which will be converted pursuant to the Conversion Transaction is US$970,551, resulting in the issuance of 26,445,572 Common Shares in satisfaction thereof. Closing of the Conversion Transaction is expected to occur as soon as practicable, but in any event no less than 5 business days from the date hereof, in accordance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange. Upon closing of the Conversion Transaction, all existing security held by the Lender will be released and discharged and the Company will have no further obligations to the Lender under the Loan Agreement.
根据认股交易,贷款义务的总额为970,551美元,相应的会发行26,445,572普通股作为报偿。认股交易的结束时间预计在本日起最快实现,但所有适用于加拿大证券交易所的政策都应在至少5个工作日内结束。认购交易结束时,借方持有的所有已有证券将被释放和解除,公司将不再对贷方在贷款协议下承担任何义务。
The Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the Conversion Transaction have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and, accordingly, may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, "U.S. persons" (as those terms are defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Any Common Shares offered and sold in the United States shall be issued as "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there by any sale of the Common shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
根据美国证券法(1933年)修正案(“美国证券法”)或任何州证券法,以及规定S下定义的“美国人”(规定S下定义的“美国人”),认购交易的发行和出售均未经注册,因此在未经美国证券法和适用州证券法或适用豁免的情况下无法在美国或对“美国人”的直接或间接收购或销售。在美国出售的任何普通股均应作为规则144(a)(3)下定义的“限制性证券”进行发行。本新闻稿不构成出售或要约购买的要约,也不在任何其它可能是非法的司法管辖区中销售普通股。
The Lender is an insider shareholder of the Company. Accordingly, the Lender's participation in the Conversion Transaction constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on the exemption from the formal valuation requirement set out in Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 on the basis that no securities of the Company are listed or quoted on any of the prescribed exchanges set out therein. The Company is relying on the exemption from the minority approval requirement set out in section 5.7(1)(e) of MI 61-101. Each of the directors of the Company is an "independent director" (as determined in accordance with MI 61-101) in respect of the Conversion Transaction and the board of directors, acting in good faith, unanimously determined that the Company is in serious financial difficulty, that the Conversion Transaction is designed to improve the financial position of the Company, and that the terms of the Conversion Transaction are reasonable in the circumstances of the Company. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to the expected closing of the Conversion Transaction as the structure of the transaction had not been confirmed at that time.
贷方是公司的内部股东。因此,贷方参与认购交易构成《多边工具61-101-特殊交易中少数非控股股东的保护》(“MI 61-101”)中的“关联方交易”。公司依据MI 61-101第5.5(b)条从正式估值要求豁免,理由是公司的任何证券均未列在其中的任何交易所上市或报价。公司依赖于MI 61-101第5.7(1)(e)条所规定的豁免-minority approval requirement。公司的每位董事在认购交易中都是“独立董事”(根据MI 61-101确定),并且理事会们以诚信和同意的方式,一致决定公司处于严重的财务困境中,认购交易设计为改善公司的财务状况,并且认购交易的条款在公司的情况下是合理的。公司未能在预期的认购交易结束前21天提交材料变更报告,因为当时还没有确定交易结构。

New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company's management to predict all of such factors and to assess in advance the impact of each such factor on the Company's business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking information to reflect information, events, results, circumstances or otherwise after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law including securities laws.
