LUMIERA HEALTH INC. ANNOUNCES ISSUANCE OF PARTIAL REVOCATION ORDER, SHARES FOR DEBT TRANSACTION AND DIRECTOR RESIGNATION
The Autorite des marches financiers has granted a partial revocation dated Dec. 17, 2024, of the failure-to-file cease trade order issued against Lumiera Health Inc. on April 8, 2024. The FFCTO was imposed due to delays in filing certain continuous disclosure documents. This partial revocation allows the company to proceed with key actions to address its regulatory obligations.
The partial revocation order was pursued in order to settle debts for a maximum of up to $1,025,625, including $820,340 with non-arm's-length parties. The debt will be settled by the issuance of up to 102,565,500 common shares of the issuer at a price of one cent per share.
Pursuant to the partial revocation order, Lumiera has settled $638,199.65 of outstanding debt by issuing an aggregate of 63,819,965 shares to certain creditors. Additionally, the company intends to complete a second tranche of the shares-for-debt transaction, subject to obtaining disinterested shareholder approval for the debt settlement with certain creditors at a special meeting scheduled for Feb. 3, 2025, as required by the TSX Venture Exchange. The participation of certain directors and officers in the shares-for-debt transaction will constitute a related-party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions). The company intends to rely on the financial hardships exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101.
Prior to the closing of the shares-for-debt transaction, Lumiera will provide written notice to each creditor that the shares will remain subject to the FFCTO until such time as a full revocation is granted and that the granting of any partial revocation does not guarantee the issuance of a full revocation order in the future.
The purpose of the shares-for-debt transaction is to obtain the necessary funds to prepare and file all outstanding continuous disclosure documents to subsequently apply for and obtain a full revocation order.
Closing of the shares-for-debt transaction is subject to acceptance by the TSX-V and other customary closing conditions. In addition to any applicable resale restrictions under Canadian securities laws, certain securities issued under the shares-for-debt transaction will be subject to a four-month resale restriction imposed by the TSX-V.
The company also announces that Marie Belanger has resigned from the company's board of directors, effective Jan. 14, 2025. The board of directors and the company's management team would like to thank Ms. Belanger for her valuable contributions to Lumiera.
