Calgary, Canada - TheNewswire - November 8, 2021 - DeepMarkit Corp. (“DeepMarkit” or the “Company”) (TSXV:MKT) (OTC:MKTDF) is pleased to announce that it has completed the previously announced (September 14, 2021) debt conversion, in which it has issued an aggregate of 13,360,974 common shares ("Common Shares") pursuant to the conversion of debt in the aggregate amount of $2,739,000 (the "Debt Conversion").

All Common Shares issued pursuant to the Debt Conversion were issued at a price of $0.205 per Common Share.  The Debt Conversion comprised two components, conversion of the Company's $2 million of 12% Secured Participating Debentures (the “Debentures”), plus accrued interest of $700,000, resulting in the issuance of 13,170,731 Common Shares (the "Debenture Conversion"), and the conversion of $39,000 of previously incurred and unpaid management fees, resulting in the issuance of 190,243 Common Shares (the "Management Fee Debt Conversion").

The Common Shares issued pursuant to the Debenture Conversion were issued to 1323552 B.C. Ltd., a private company owned and controlled by Ranjeet Sunder, a director and founder of the Company.  All Common Shares issued pursuant to the Management Fee Debt Conversion were issued to Mr. Sundher.  

The Company obtained disinterested shareholder approval for the Debt Conversion at its annual and general meeting of shareholders held on October 29, 2021, including approval for the Debt Conversion as a related party transaction pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") and Policy 5.9 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), approval of 1323552 B.C. Ltd. as a Control Person of the Company (as defined in the policies of the Exchange), and approval to convert the full amount of the management fees owing to Mr. Sundher, as required under Exchange policies.  All other matters put forth to shareholders at the meeting were also approved.

The Debt Conversion is intended to improve the financial condition of the Company as the Company had insufficient cash on hand, and no immediate source of cash that would be sufficient to satisfy the debt.  In addition, the Debt Conversion is expected to enhance the ability of the Company to attract capital on a cost-effective basis and to improve the ability of the Company to attract acquisition, business or other corporate opportunities.

All Common Shares issued pursuant to the Debt Conversion are subject to a four month hold period required under applicable securities laws and the policies of the Exchange.

In addition, the Company announces that it has appointed Ranjeet Sundher as Interim Chief Executive Officer, replacing Darold Parken who remains the President and a director of the Company.

The Debt Conversion completes DeepMarkit’s capital reorganization which comprised the recently completed working capital injection, the elimination of all corporate debt and the establishment of a new controlling shareholder who has been instrumental in the development of our current business and technology.  Management and shareholders are aligned with the intention to seek out acquisitions to expand DeepMarkit’s business of data driven software tools for businesses of all types and sizes.  New software tools and business models with which we can leverage our extensive investment in the DeepMarkit platform will be the foundation of our new path to the goal of creating value for our shareholders.

Several new opportunities are currently being evaluated and additional opportunities will be sought.
