THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
VANCOUVER, BC – TheNewswire – January 12, 2024: SWMBRD Sports Inc. (CSE:SWIM) (“SWMBRD” or the “Company”) announces today that it intends to enter into settlement agreements to settle an aggregate amount of $97,200.00 of indebtedness (the “Debt Settlement”) through the issuance of an aggregate of 3,240,000 units (the “Settlement Units”) at a deemed price of $0.03 per Settlement Unit. Each Settlement Unit consists of one common share (the “Common Shares”) in the capital of the Company and one Common Share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.075 for a period of two years from closing. The Debt Settlement transaction is anticipated to close on or around January 19, 2024.
The indebtedness relates to fees for services performed by certain insiders of the Company (“Creditors“) from May 1, 2023 through to September 30, 2023. The Company will enter into debt settlement agreements with each Creditor in connection with the Debt Settlement.
The issuance of the aggregate of 3,240,000 Settlement Units to certain insiders of the Company constitutes a “related party transaction” as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101- Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of such Settlement Shares nor the debt exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
The Company further announces, pursuant to the news release dated October 11, 2023, the terms of the previously announced private placement (the “Private Placement”) have been amended. The Company has received approval by the Canadian Securities Exchange to amend the price of the units from $0.03 to $0.015 per unit (the “Financing Units”).
Each Financing Unit will consist of one Common Share in the capital of the Company and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at a price of $0.05 per Common Share, for a period of two years from the date the Financing Units are issued. The Private Placement is anticipated to close on or around January 31, 2024.
The Debt Settlement transaction and Private Placement are both subject to Canadian Securities Exchange acceptance. The Settlement Units and Financing Units will be subject to a four-month and one-day hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.
None of the securities acquired will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and none of them may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state where such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
