CALGARY,
AB, Oct. 7, 2024 /CNW/ - Petro-Victory
Energy Corp. ("Petro-Victory" or the "Company") (TSXV: VRY) is
pleased to provide a corporate update which includes the extension
of the exercise period for common share purchase warrants issued on
October 31, 2023, all of which are
exercisable at CAD $4.00 per common
share (the "Warrants"), the grant of 871,130 options ("Options"),
and the closing of the September 2024
Short-term debentures.
October 2024 Warrant
Extension
The Company is extending the expiry date of the Warrants by
twelve (12) months, establishing a new expiry date of October 31, 2025. The Warrants, issued through a
private placement on October 31,
2023, were set to expire on October
31, 2024. All other terms and conditions of the Warrants
remain unchanged. This amendment is subject to approval by the TSX
Venture Exchange (TSXV).
September 2024 Option
Grant
In September 2024, the Company
approved the grant of stock options (the "Options") exercisable for
a total of 871,130 common shares ("Common Shares") to its
directors, officers, employees and consultants. All Options were
granted pursuant to the Company's stock option plan and are subject
to the terms of the applicable grant agreements and the
requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV").
The Options were granted at an exercise price of $1.25 and expire on September 25, 2029. The Options shall vest
annually over three years from the date of grant. The Options are
subject to TSXV acceptance.
The Company relied on section 5.5(b) of Multilateral Instrument
61-101 ("MI 61-101") as the exemption from the formal valuation
requirements of MI 61-101 in respect of the grant of options to the
directors and officers of the Company as the common shares of the
Company are not listed on a specified market (and the common
shares are only listed on the TSXV). The Company relied on
section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 as the exemption from the minority
approval requirements of MI 61-101 in respect of the grant of
options to the directors and officers of the Company as neither the
fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market
value of the consideration for, the grant of the options to the
director of the Company exceeded 25% of the Company's market
capitalization.
September 2024 Short-Term
Debentures
Further to the news release dated September 24, 2024, the Company has received
final TSXV approval on the issuance of unsecured promissory notes
to 579 Max Ltd., Chris Cooper, and
an arm's length third party (the "Lenders"). Each loan bears
interest at an annual rate of 14% per annum which increases to 18%
should any amounts of the principal or interest remain unpaid after
the maturity date. Each Lender was issued bonus warrants (the
"Bonus Warrants") on the terms as disclosed on September 24, 2024.
