Vancouver, B.C. – TheNewswire – July 31, 2024 Mobio Technologies Inc. (TSXV: MBO) (“Mobio” or the “Company”) wishes to announce that the Company received conditional approval from TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) for the issuance of the convertible promissory notes (the “Bridge Financing”).

 

The Company also announces that it has closed the first tranche of the Bridge Financing as follows:

• $50,000 borrowed from Phoenix Ventures Inc. (Phoenix”) on July 31, 2024 

• $225,000 borrowed from Code Consulting Limited (Code”) on July 31, 2024 

 

The Loans from Phoenix and Code are to bear no interest and to mature on December 31, 2024 at which date the principal on the Loans will be due in full. In the event of completion of the proposed transaction with Tracksuit Movers Inc. (“TMI”) (the “Transaction”), the Loans are to be automatically converted into common shares of Mobio at the conversion price of $0.20 per share, or at the same price per share as is determined in connection with the proposed Transaction.

 

The Loans from Code and the Loan from Phoenix are related party transactions pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). Mr.

Laurie Baggio is the beneficial owner of Phoenix, a director and officer of Mobio and a control person of Phoenix and Mobio, and, as such, Mr. Baggio has abstained from voting with respect to the Loan from Phoenix to Mobio. Mr. Lance Tracey is the beneficial owner of Code, and a control shareholder of Mobio.

 

With respect to the proposed Bridge Financing, Mobio is relying on the exemption from the valuation requirement pursuant to section 5.5(b) (Issuer Not Listed on Specified Markets) of MI 61-101 and from the minority shareholder approval requirement prescribed by section 5.7(1)(b) (Fair Market Value Not More Than $2,500,000) of MI 61-101.

 

Proceeds from the Bridge Financing will be used to cover the costs associated with proceeding to completion of the proposed Transaction including, audit fees, legal fees, preparing necessary documentation, due diligence and regulatory fees.

 

The Bridge Financing will be completed independent of the completion of the Transaction with the funds being made available for Mobio’s use immediately upon closing of each tranche of the Bridge Financing.

 

Completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, preparing and entering into a binding agreement, acceptance by the Exchange and disinterested shareholder approval. The Transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.
