This amount includes up to $1,004,800 owed to arm’s-length creditors for cash advances, $102,500 of debt owed for management and director fees to the four directors.
There is also $314,849.60 in cash advances and payment of expenses on behalf of the CEO Arno Brand, as well as management fees, in consideration for the issuance of up to 14,221,496 common shares for $0.10 per common share.
The Debt Settlement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
All securities issued under the Debt Settlement will be subject to a statutory four-monotone-day one-hold period.
The settlement of the insider debts aggregating $417,349.60 to be settled for the issuance of 4,173,496 common shares is exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101.
In accordance with the provisions of MI 61-101, the settlement of the insider debts will not close until at least 21 days after filing a material change report.
Gratomic Inc. announced on Thursday that it had reduced monthly expenses in Namibia, Canada, and Brazil by N$2,1 million (US$115,000).
The company also said it was selling certain non-core assets, including a house the company owns in Windhoek.
