Frontline Confirms Regulatory Approval and Cancellation of 14.7 MM Shares arising from the Closed Debt Settlement Agreement
Toronto, January 8, 2021 - Frontline Gold Corp. (TSXV:FGC) (“Frontline” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed the cancellation of 14,709,688 shares as previously announced in executed Revised Debt Settlement Agreement on December 15, 2020. The transaction which was subject to FGC receiving TSX Venture Exchange approval was received and Computershare, the Company’s equity transfer agent, completed the cancellation of the shares on January 6, 2021. As of January 6, 2021, following the completed share cancellation, the Company has 126,753,673 common shares outstanding as confirmed with Computershare.
Background
The Company entered into a revised debt settlement agreement, announced December 15, 2020, with a historical arm's-length service provider/creditor whereby the company will make a one-time payment of $15,000 to the creditor. This payment replaces the terms of a March 31, 2014, news release that announced a debt settlement agreement between the company and the creditor (see below summary of original debt settlement agreement -- March 31, 2014).
The terms of the original agreement were a one-time payment of $50,000 and the issuance of 14,379,688 common shares of the company to clear approximately $561,000 of debt in relation to mining exploration agreements and services related to properties under option by the company. In addition, the company would maintain its options held in the gold properties in the Stewart region of British Columbia. On May 29, 2014, as publicly announced, the TSX Venture Exchange had approved the issuance of 14,379,688 common shares of the company at a deemed price of 5.2 cents per share. Based upon the TSX-V approval, the company had issued the 14,379,688 common shares of the company but were held in escrow and were never delivered to the creditor as some of the closing terms of the original agreement were never completed.
The new agreement was solely negotiated and agreed to by Frontline and Geofine, to which the outstanding debt owed is settled. Under this new agreement, the one-time payment of $15,000 will allow the company to seek approval from the TSX-V to cancel the 14,379,688 commons shares of the company that were previously issued and held in escrow, and to write off approximately $561,000 in debt in relation to mining exploration agreements and services relating to the creditor. Lastly, the company will relinquish all interests in the gold properties in the Stewart region of British Columbia that were held under options.
In addition, a total of 330,000 shares were also cancelled that were issued for share payment obligations that were owed on the gold properties in the Stewart region of British Columbia that were held under option as per the terms of the original debt settlement agreement.
