The New Facility has been issued by Zebra Holdings and
Investments S.à.r.l. (the "Lender"), a company controlled by
a trust settled by the late Adolf H.
Lundin, and an insider of the Company. The terms of the New
Facility include the Company issuing to the Lender, subject to
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, an aggregate of 6,000 common
shares of Filo (the "Common Shares") and an additional 300
Common Shares per month for each US$50,000 of the New Facility outstanding from
time to time up to the Maturity Date. All securities issued in
conjunction with the Facility will be subject to a four-month hold
period under applicable securities law.
The New Facility supplements an existing US$5,000,000 credit facility provided by the
Lender, evidenced by an existing debenture dated as of January 12, 2019, which matures on July 12, 2020.
The Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms of the New
Debenture will be issued at a deemed price of CA$2.20 per
share.
The issuance of Common Shares to an insider and the entering
into of the Debenture each constitute a "related party
transaction", as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101
("MI 61-101"). The transactions will be exempt from the
formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of
MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any shares issued to,
or the consideration paid for, the Debenture will exceed 25% of the
Company's market capitalization.
