Vancouver, British Columbia – (January 10, 2022) – Freeport Resources Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it will extend the term of an aggregate of 33,513,398 share purchase warrants exerciseable at a price of $0.10 (the “$0.10 Warrants”) and 6,921,084 share purchase warrants exerciseable at a price of $0.40 (the “$0.40 Warrants”). The $0.10 Warrants were previously scheduled to expire on June 4, 2022, and will now expire on June 4, 2025, and the $0.40 Warrants were previously scheduled to expire on February 10, 2022, and will now expire on August 10, 2025.
The $0.10 Warrants and the $0.40 Warrants were previously issued in connection with non- brokered private placements conducted by the Company, and not in compensation for any services provided to the Company. Completion of the extension remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and will not take effective until such time as approval has been received.
Certain directors of the Company have ownership and control of 800,000 of the $0.10 Warrants currently scheduled to expire on June 4, 2022. These directors recused themselves from all discussions, deliberations and approvals concerning the extension of the Warrants. As a result of their ownership of the Warrants, that portion of the extension is considered to be a related- party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 and TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9. The related-party portion of the extension is, however, exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 and Policy 5.9, as the fair market value of the Warrants held by the directors do not exceed twenty-five percent of the market capitalization of the Company at the relevant time.
