(“TMI”) (the “Transaction”) and announce its intention to complete a bridge financing by a way of issuing convertible promissory notes (the “Bridge Financing”).

The Company also announces that it intends to complete the Bridge Financing by a way of issuing convertible promissory notes (the “Loans”) in multiple tranches as follows:

• $140,000, which consists of a settlement of management fees in the amount of $90,000 and additional $50,000 to be borrowed from Phoenix Ventures Inc. (Phoenix”) on July 31, 2024 

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

• $160,000 to be borrowed from Code Consulting Limited (Code”) on September 1, 2024 

 

The Loans from Phoenix and Code are to bear interest at an annual rate of 4.85% and mature on December 31, 2024 at which date the principal and interest on the Loans will be due in full. In the event of completion of the proposed 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.

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.
