TVI Pacific Inc. Announces Issuances of
Promissory Notes
CALGARY, AB
,
April 16, 2024
/CNW/ - TVI Pacific Inc. (TSXV: TVI) (OTC Pink: TVIPF) ("
TVI
" or
"
the Company
") announces that pursuant to the terms and conditions of unsecured interest-bearing
promissory notes (the "
Notes
") issued by TVI, Prime Resources Holdings, Inc. (the "
Lender
") has
advanced loans in the principal amounts of
$171,732.00
and
$71,196.00
, respectively, for aggregate
proceeds of
$242,928.00
to fund certain accrued expenses of the Company (collectively, the
"
Loans
"). Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, outstanding indebtedness under the Notes accrue
interest at prime plus 2.0% per annum and, subject to certain acceleration events, mature in
October
2025
.
The Lender is a "related party" of the Company, and entering into the Notes and matters relating
thereto 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 Loans are non-convertible
loans obtained on reasonable commercial terms that are not less advantageous to the Company
than if the Loans 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 Loans were approved by the independent directors of the Company (the "
Independent
Directors
"), being all directors other than Messrs.
Clifford James
,
Manual Paolo Villar
, and
Michael
Regino
. To the knowledge of the Company, there is no material information concerning the
Company or its securities that has not been generally disclosed. No special committee of the
Independent Directors was established in connection with the Loans as all of the Independent
Directors were engaged in respect of the Loans and 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 Loans, 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 closings of the Loans as the details of the Loans were not finalized until
immediately prior to their respective issuance and the Company wished to close the transactions as
soon as practicable for sound business reasons.
