VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GCC Global Capital Corporation (TSXV:GCCC) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) to borrow up to a maximum amount of $1,000,000 (the “Loan”) from Jiu Fa Investments Ltd. (the “Lender”). The principal amount of the Loan under the Loan Agreement shall bear interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum and the Loan shall mature on the earlier of: (i) February 28, 2021; or (ii) the date that Metath Investment Co., Ltd. ceases to own, or have control or direction over, common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) representing at least 20% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.
The Lender has provided an initial advance to the Company under the Loan Agreement in the aggregate amount of $50,000. Further amounts may be advanced during the term of the Loan in such amounts and at such times as agreed to by the Lender and the Company, up to the maximum amount of the Loan. Amounts outstanding under the Loan will be represented by a grid promissory note issued by the Company in favour of the Lender.
The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Loan to fund its operations and for general and administrative expenses.
Mr. Huijun Wang, a director and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is also the President of the Lender. Accordingly, the Loan is considered a related party transaction under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) and Mr. Wang abstained from voting on the Loan in his capacity as a director of the Company.
The Company is exempt from the formal valuation requirement under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) as its Common Shares are listed for trading on the TSXV. The Company is also exempt from the minority approval requirement under MI 61-101 as the Loan has been provided on reasonable commercial terms that are not less advantageous to the Company than if it were obtained from an arm’s length party. Further, the Loan is not convertible into or repayable in securities of the Company.
The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Loan, as the details of the Loan were not finalized until immediately prior to the closing and the Company wished to close the transaction as soon as practicable for sound business reasons.
