Vancouver, BC - Baru Gold Corp. (“Baru” or the “Company”) reports that its board of directors has approved the settlement of up to $162,782 of debt through the issuance of common shares of the Company (the “Debt Settlement”). Pursuant to the Debt Settlement, the Company would issue up to 10,852,133 common shares of the Company (the “Shares”) at a deemed price of $0.015 per Share to Shidan Murphy, director of the Company (the “Creditor”)
The Debt Settlement, previously announced on August 29, 2024, has been amended to $162,782 cash advances to the Company from November 2022 to May 2023. These cash advances were non-interest bearing, unsecured, with no stated terms of repayment.
The issuance of the common shares to the Creditor is subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued will be subject to a four month hold period which will expire on the date that is four months and one day from the date of issue.
The Creditor participating in this debt settlement is an insider of the Company and accordingly, the debt settlement and the cash advances to the Company are considered a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company relied on the exemptions for a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under MI 61-101 on the basis of the exemptions of M61-101, as neither the fair market value of the shares issued to insiders in connection with the debt settlement, and the fair market value of the advances did not exceed 25 per cent of the Company's market capitalization.
