Elixxer Ltd. (the “
Corporation” or
“
Elixxer”) (TSX-V: ELXR and OTC-QB: ELIXF) wishes
to announce that, in light of current market uncertainty and the
further deterioration in the Corporation’s share price, the
Corporation’s principal secured lender has requested that the debt
settlement transactions announced on March 2, 2021 be effected at a
price of $0.015 per share as opposed to the previously disclosed
price of $0.02 per share.
As a result of this amendment, $3,656,310 (the
“AIP Debt”) of the $3,964,826, including interest
and fees, owed to AIP Convertible Private Debt Fund LP
(“AIP”) pursuant to a secured loan agreement dated
November 8, 2019 (the “AIP Loan”) will be settled
by the Corporation issuing to AIP a total of 243,754,000 common
shares at a deemed issue price of $0.015 per share and 243,754,000
common share purchase warrants (the “AIP Debt
Settlement”). Each warrant will be exercisable for a
period of 60 months from the date of issuance at an exercise price
of $0.05 each. AIP currently holds 55,233,333 common shares and
35,000,000 common share purchase warrants of the Corporation. The
AIP Debt Settlement will result in AIP becoming a “control person”
of Elixxer. Upon completion of the AIP Debt Settlement only, AIP
would hold 298,987,333 common shares and 278,754,000 common share
purchase warrants of the Corporation, representing approximately
34.08% of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding common shares on
an undiluted basis and 49.98% on a partially diluted basis. As
such, the AIP Debt Settlement as proposed is subject to the
Corporation obtaining shareholder approval which will be sought at
the Corporation’s next annual and special meeting of
shareholders.
As a condition to Elixxer agreeing to this
amendment, AIP has agreed not to request any further pricing
changes, regardless of the share price going forward.
The Corporation also proposes to settle
$3,656,310 (the “Arlington Debt”) of the
$4,603,507, including interest and fees, owed to Arlington Capital
LP (“Arlington”) pursuant to a loan agreement
dated August 29, 2019 (the “Arlington Loan”). The
Corporation will settle the Arlington Debt by issuing to Arlington
a total of 243,754,000 common shares at a deemed issue price of
$0.015 per share and 243,754,000 common share purchase warrants
(the “Arlington Debt Settlement”). Each warrant
will be exercisable for a period of 60 months from the date of
issuance an exercise price of $0.05 each. The Arlington Debt
Settlement will result in Arlington becoming a “control person” of
Elixxer. Upon completion of the Arlington Debt Settlement only,
Arlington would hold 347,754,000 common shares and 243,754,000
common share purchase warrants, representing approximately 39.64%
of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding common shares on an
undiluted basis and 52.77% on a partially diluted basis. As such,
the Arlington Debt Settlement as proposed is subject to the
Corporation obtaining shareholder approval which will be sought at
the Corporation’s next annual and special meeting of shareholders.
The Arlington Debt Settlement also constitutes a “related party
transaction” as such term is defined in Regulation 61-101
respecting Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special
Transactions given that Arlington currently holds 104,000,000
common shares of the Corporation. The Corporation relies on the
exemption from the valuation requirement pursuant to subsection
5.5(b) of Regulation 61-101 as the securities of the Corporation
are not listed or quoted on enumerated stock exchanges.
Upon completion of both the AIP Debt Settlement
and the Arlington Debt Settlement, the Corporation would have
approximately 1,121,016,031 common shares issued and outstanding
with (i) AIP holding approximately 26.67% on an undiluted basis and
approximately 41.27% on a partially diluted basis; and (ii)
Arlington holding approximately 31.02% on an undiluted basis and
approximately 43.34% on a partially diluted basis. Upon completion
of both settlements, each of AIP and Arlington will have the right
to nominate two members to Elixxer’s Board of Directors, with at
least two other members being independent.
The pricing of the common shares issuable
pursuant to the debt settlements is in reliance of the temporary
relief measures established by the TSX Venture Exchange (the
“TSXV”) on April 8, 2020 (and extended on
September 16 and December 15, 2020) providing for temporary relief
measures to its Policy 4.3, lowering the minimum pricing from $0.05
to $0.01 per share for shares issued pursuant to a debt settlement
where the market price of an issuer’s shares is not greater than
$0.05. The market price of the Corporation’s common shares at close
of business on March 9, 2021 was $0.015.
Given the maximum number of shares allowable
under the temporary relief measures of the TSXV, Elixxer will not
be able to convert the entire amounts owed to AIP and Arlington,
with balances of $308,516 and $947,197 remaining outstanding under
the AIP Loan and the Arlington Loan, respectively.
Completion of the AIP Debt Settlement and the
Arlington Debt Settlement as proposed is, in each case, subject to
(i) completion of definitive agreements; (ii) approval of the TSXV;
and (iii) shareholder approval as outlined above. All securities
issued pursuant to the settlement of the AIP Debt Settlement and
the Arlington Debt Settlement will be subject to hold period of
four months and one day from the date of issuance.
