Stellar AfricaGold Announces Debt Settlement and Grants Incentive Stock Options
VANCOUVER, BC – TheNewswire – September 18, 2024 - STELLAR AFRICAGOLD INC. (TSXV: SPX) (the “Company” or “Stellar”) announces:
DEBT SETTLEMENT
The Company proposes to issue an aggregate of 3,950,060 common shares in the capital of the Company at an agreed price of $0.05 per share to settle approximately $197,503 in debt (the “Debt Settlement”) with two creditors.
The board of directors and management of the Company believe that the proposed Debt Settlement transaction is in the best interests of the Company insofar as it allows the Company to allocate a greater portion of its cash on hand for exploration and general working capital.
The Debt Settlement is subject to receipt of TSX Venture Exchange approval. Common shares issued pursuant to the Debt Settlement will be subject to a statutory four-month and one day hold period from the date of issuance in accordance with Canadian Securities Law and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange
MI 61-101 Disclosure
One Insider of the Company will be participating in the Debt Settlement and is a related party of the Company pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Related party involvement in the Debt Settlement constitutes a "related party transaction". The Company expects to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) respectively, as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the Debt Settlement, insofar as it involves interested parties, exceeds 25 per cent of the Company's market capitalization.
STOCK OPTIONS
The Company also announces that it has granted an aggregate of 1,200,000 incentive stock options to certain directors and officers of the Company.
