Cielo Waste Solutions Moves Forward with Debt Settlement
Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. (TSXV: CMC; OTC PINK: CWSFF) is taking significant steps to manage its financial responsibilities by announcing a share issuance to settle a total debt of $1,622,413.10. This strategic approach, known as the "Shares for Debt Transaction," will involve issuing a considerable number of common shares, specifically 15,451,545 shares, at a price of $0.105 each, pending the necessary approvals from the TSX Venture Exchange.
Details of the Debt Settlement Transaction
The company has reached agreements with various creditors to facilitate the issuance of 14,480,856 shares at $0.105 per share, which will help clear $1,520,490.67 of the overall debt. Furthermore, Cielo has plans to finalize an agreement aligned with these terms with an Insider - someone aligned closely with the company operations.
Insider Transactions and Related Party Engagements
The agreement with this Insider involves settling the remaining $101,922.43 of the Aggregate Debt Amount with the issuance of 970,689 repayment shares, reinforcing their commitment to supporting the company during this pivotal time. According to Canadian regulations under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), this Insider Transaction is recognized as a related party transaction. However, exemptions from certain valuation and approval requirements are applicable in this instance since the transaction is below 25% of the company’s market capitalization.
Awaiting Approval for Share Issuance
The progression of these shares for debt transactions hinges on the approval of the TSX Exchange. Once permissible and finalized, the newly issued Repayment Shares will be subject to a hold period extending four months, aligning with standard practices for share issuance.
Correction on Prior Transactions
Cielo Waste Solutions is also taking the opportunity to correct a previously issued news release regarding earlier shares for debt transactions, which discussed settling debts amounting to $25,184. The prior announcement inaccurately stated the share price as $0.32; the correct figure is $0.31, reflecting Cielo's commitment to transparency.
