Metaguest.AI Announces Financing Progress and Terms Revision to Convertible Loan
Closing of First Tranche of Secured Debentures
The Company has successfully closed the first tranche of its secured debentures, raising gross proceeds of $193,000. The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum and include a 12% loan advance fee, payable in 231,600 Class A Common Shares of METG at a price of $0.10 per share.
These debentures will be secured by a general security agreement over the Company's assets and will rank pari passu with the Company's existing secured convertible loan who's details of amendment are outlined below.
Amendment to Existing Convertible Loan
The Company has also amended the terms of the original $235,000 secured convertible loan that was closed on February 6, 2024, and announced on February 8, 2024 (the "Convertible Loan").
The amendments include:
An extension of the maturity date of the Convertible Loan to May 14, 2026
A revision to the principal amount from $235,000 to $270,674
A 12% amendment fee, payable by issuing 324,716 Class A Common Shares at $0.10 per share, and
Participation in the first-ranking security, also for a 12% fee, payable by issuing 324,716 $0.10 Class A Common Shares
All other terms of the Convertible Loan remain unchanged.
The exiting Convertible Loan is with a private lender (the "Lender"), a company with common officers and directors of the Company.
The Convertible Loan with the Lender constitutes a "related party transaction" as such term is defined by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company was exempt from the MI 61-101 valuation and minority approval requirements for related party transactions in connection with the Convertible Loan under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61 101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves the Lender, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).
