CALGARY, ALBERTA – Maple Leaf Green World Inc. (“Maple Leaf” or the “Company”) (NEO: MGW,OTCQX: MGWFF) announces that the Company has decided to extend the expiry dates and lower the exercise price of an aggregate of 17,818,497 common share purchase warrants (comprising of 12,794,798 warrants in May 2017 private placement offering (“May 2107 Warrants”) and 5,023,699 warrants in 2018 private placement offering (“2018 Warrants) and collectively called the “Warrants”). The Warrants, their old and new exercise prices, their original and new expiry dates are as follows:
Number of Warrants Old Exercise Price New Exercise Price Original Expiry Date New Expiry Date 12,794,798 $0.85 $0.60 May 4, 2019 April 29, 2022 4,093,699 $0.90 $0.60 June 15, 2020 April 29, 2022 797,000 $0.90 $0.60 August 13, 2020 April 29, 2022 133,000 $0.90 $0.60 October 29, 2020 April 29, 2022 17,818,497
The Warrants were issued as part of the units in its 2017 and 2018 non-brokered private placements offering and were exercisable for shares of its common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.85 per share and $0.90 per share respectively. The issuance of the common stock upon exercise of the Warrants by the Company, and the resale of the Warrants and the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants issued in the private placement are covered by registration statements, as amended, previously filed with appropriate securities regulators.
As a result of the fact that certain of the officers and directors of the Company are Warrant holders in 2017 Warrants, the extension of 2017 Warrants is considered a “related party transaction” pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The extension of the 2017 Warrants is exempt from the requirements under MI 61-101 to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval pursuant to Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101. The Company has filed a material change report less than 21 days before the effective date of the extension of the warrants, which is reasonable in the circumstances given that the exercise price of the warrants being extended is well above the current market price of the Company’s shares.
