Fort Technology Converts US$2.46 Million Insider Debt to Equity

Fort Technology Inc. ( (TSE:FORT) ) has shared an announcement.

Fort Technology Inc. has entered into a debt settlement agreement with control shareholder Jeffs’ Brands Ltd., converting US$2.46 million (approximately CAD$3.37 million) of debt, originally incurred by its UK and US subsidiaries, into common shares at the current market price. The share-based settlement, which falls under related-party transaction rules, is exempt from formal valuation and minority approval requirements under MI 61-101 because it is not expected to exceed 25% of the company’s market capitalization; however, at the request of the TSX Venture Exchange, Fort obtained consent from disinterested shareholders holding at least half of the non-Creditor shares, underscoring governance oversight as the company moves to strengthen its balance sheet by eliminating a significant liability to an insider creditor.
