Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 13, 2025) - Barksdale Resources Corp. (TSXV: BRO) (OTCQX: BRKCF) ("Barksdale" or the "Company") announces that it is seeking TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") acceptance for an extension of the maturity date and a reduction of the conversion price of the aggregate $1,500,000 principal amount of the secured convertible debentures ("Debentures") held by Delbrook Capital Advisors Inc. ("Delbrook") that were originally issued on January 25, 2022. Barksdale is also seeking TSXV acceptance to issue an aggregate of 8,000,000 detachable common share purchase warrants (the "New Warrants") to Delbrook as the previously issued 2,777,777 common share purchase warrants held by Delbrook expired unexercised on December 31, 2024.
The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and are convertible into common shares of the Company (the "Shares"). The Company is seeking approval of the TSXV to, among other things, reduce the conversion price of the Debentures from $0.55 to $0.18 pers Share and extend the maturity date to December 31, 2025 (the "Amendments"). In connection with Delbrook agreeing to the Amendments, the Company will also issue the New Warrants to Delbrook in connection with the Amendments. Each New Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one Share at a price of $0.18 per Share until December 31, 2025. Additionally, Delbrook and the Company have agreed, subject to the receipt of corporate and regulatory approvals, including acceptance by the TSXV, to a securities-for-debt settlement (the "Interest Debt Settlement"), pursuant to which the interest accrued under the Debentures in the aggregate amount of $151,643.84 will be satisfied by the issuance of 1,045,819 units of the Company (the "Units", and each, a "Unit") at a deemed price of $0.145 per Unit. Each Unit shall consist of one Share and one-half of one Share purchase warrant (the "Warrants"), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional Share at an exercise price of $0.18 per Share for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuance. Any subsequent interest accrued under the Debentures after December 31, 2024 shall be payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Debentures and the policies of the TSXV.
Delbrook has agreed to temporarily waive the payment obligations on the Debentures which were due and payable on December 31, 2024 until January 17, 2025 in order to give the parties time to obtain the requisite approval of the TSXV for the Amendments, the issuance of the New Warrants and the Interest Debt Settlement and to enter into definitive documentation with respect to the Amendments. The Debentures have a remaining principal amount of $1,500,000 and are not new funds to the Company.
All newly issued securities in connection with the above will be subject to a four-month plus one day hold period in accordance with Canadian securities legislation.
