TVI Pacific Inc. Announces Advance on Previously Announced Funding Commitment Agreement and
Issuance of Promissory Note
CALGARY, AB, August 28, 2024 | CNW | TVI Pacific Inc. (TSX-V: TVI) (OTC Pink: TVIPF) (“ TVI” or the “ Company”)
announces that the Company has received the principal amount of $196,416.00 (the “ Loan”) under the Company’s
previously announced funding commitment agreement (the “ Funding Commitment Agreement ”) with Prime
Resources Holdings, Inc. (the “ Lender”). In accordance with the terms of the Funding Commitment Agreement, the
Lender advanced the Loan to TVI and evidenced by an unsecured interest-bearing promissory note (the “ Note”). The
Note accrues interest at a rate of prime plus 2.0% per annum and, subject to certain acceleration events, matures in
February 2026.
To date, $1,181,348.45 has been borrowed by the Company from the Lender and evidenced by unsecured interest-
bearing promissory notes, including the Note. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Loan to fund certain
accrued expenses and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Related Party Transactions
The Lender is a “related party” of the Company, and the Loan, the entering into the Note and matters relating thereto
(the “Transactions”) are considered to be “related party transactions” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-
101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“ MI 61-101 ”) requiring the Company, in the
absence of exemptions, to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval, of the related party transactions.
Pursuant to Sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(f) of MI 61-101, the Company relied on exemptions from the formal valuation
and minority shareholder requirements, respectively, as, in addition to no securities of the Company being listed or
quoted on certain specified exchanges, the Loan is a non-convertible loan obtained on reasonable commercial terms
that is not less advantageous to the Company than if the Loan were obtained from a person dealing at arm’s length and
not repayable, directly or indirectly, in equity or voting securities of the Company or a subsidiary.
The Transactions were approved by the then board of directors of the Company (the “ Board”), who were independent
for the purposes of the Note, being Messrs. Jan Horejsi, Brian Cramm, and Robert Armstrong. Neither the Company
nor, to the knowledge of the Company after reasonable inquiry, the Lender, had or has knowledge of any material
information concerning the Company or its securities that has not been generally disclosed. No special committee of
the Board was established in connection with the Transactions as the entire Board was engaged in respect thereof, and,
other than Messrs. Clifford James, Manuel Paolo Villar and Michael Regino, who abstained from voting on the
Transactions, no materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director of the Company in
relation thereto.
Neither the Company nor any director or senior officer of the Company has knowledge, after reasonable inquiry, of any
prior valuation in respect of the Company that relates to the subject matter of or is otherwise relevant to the Transactions,
which has been made in the 24 months prior to the date of this News Release. The Company did not file a material
change report more than 21 days before the expected closing as the details of the Transactions were not finalized until
immediately prior to its issuance, and the Company wished to close the Transactions as soon as practicable for sound
business reasons.
