Tajiri Announces Shares for Debt Transaction
and Provides Update on Yono Property
Acquisition
VANCOUVER, BC
,
Jan. 27, 2025
/CNW/ - Tajiri Resources Corp. (the "
Company
") (TSXV: TAJ) is
pleased to announce that it has agreed issue an aggregate of 4,030,640 common shares of the
Company (the "
Debt Shares
") to certain of its officers and a service provider in exchange for the
cancellation of
$201,532
of outstanding debt relating to fees owing to said recipients. The Debt
Shares are being issued at deemed price of
$0.05
per Debt Share (the "
Shares for Debt
Transaction
"). The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the Shares for Debt
Transaction is in the best interests of the Company.
Of the total
$201,532
debt being converted,
$120,000
represents amounts owed to insiders of the
Company who are participating in the Shares for Debt Transaction. The participation of certain
insiders, being "related parties" of the Company means that the Shares for Debt Transaction is
considered to be a "related party transaction" of the Company for purposes of Multilateral
Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("
MI 61-
101
"). The Company may, however, complete the Shares for Debt Transaction in reliance on
exemptions available under MI 61-101 from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements
of MI 61-101. Specifically, the Shares for Debt Transaction is exempt from the formal valuation
requirement in Section 5.4 of MI 61-101 in reliance on Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 as the Company
is not listed on a specified market within the meaning of MI 61-101. Additionally, the Shares for Debt
Transaction is exempt from the minority approval requirement in Section 5.6 of MI 61-101 in reliance
on Section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 insofar as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of,
nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the Shares for Debt Transaction insofar as it
involves (or is expected to involve) "interested parties", exceeds 25% of the Company's market
capitalization.
Closing of the Shares for Debt Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("
TSXV
"). The Debt Shares to be issued pursuant to the
Shares for Debt Transaction will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day following
the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable securities laws and TSXV policies.
The Company is also pleased to provide an update on the acquisition of the Yono Gold Property (the
"
Project
"), as outlined in its news release dated
October 9, 2024
. To clarify, the transaction has not
yet closed, no payments or other consideration have been made, and the Company does not
currently hold any ownership interest in the property. The Company is actively working to satisfy all
TSXV requirements to secure final approval.
The acquisition of the Project involves issuing shares to certain insiders of the Company who are
participating in the transaction. As these individuals are classified as "related parties" under MI 61-
10, the transaction is considered a "related party transaction." The Company intends to rely on
exemptions available under MI 61-101, which allow the transaction to proceed without a formal
valuation or minority shareholder approval. Specifically, the Project qualifies for an exemption from
the formal valuation requirement under Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, as the Company is not listed on
a specified market. It is also exempt from the minority approval requirement under Section 5.7(1)(a)
of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the transaction and any consideration involving "interested
parties" represent less than 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
The Company remains fully committed to advancing the Project in compliance with all regulatory
requirements and will provide timely updates as further progress is made.
