VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 24, 2024 / Nepra Foods Inc. (CSE:NPRA)(FRA:2P6)(OTC PINK:NPRFF) ("Nepra Foods" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that on April 5, 2024, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Nepra Foods, Ltd. ("Nepra Ltd."), entered into a secured loan agreement with William Hogan (the "Lender"), for the aggregate principal amount of USD$950,000 (the "Loan"). The Loan is secured by the assets of Nepra Ltd, which security has been registered and filed pursuant to and in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code adopted in the state of Colorado, where the Lender and Nepra Ltd. are both located. Interest accrues on the loan at the rate of 6% per annum and the Loan is due on or before July 31, 2024 (the "Maturity Date"). If the Loan is not repaid by the Maturity Date, interest will accrue at the rate of 12% per annum from the Maturity Date until the Loan plus all accrued interest is repaid. The Loan is not convertible into any securities of the Company or Nepra Ltd.
The Lender is a related party to the Company as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") and the Loan constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined in MI 61-101. As the Company is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange, the Loan is exempt from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of Section 5.5(b) - Issuer not Listed on Specified Markets. The Company is relying on Section 5.7(1)(f) - Loan to Issuer, No Equity or Voting Component for exemption from the minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 since the loan is not convertible into securities of the Company or Nepra Ltd., and since the Loan has been obtained on reasonable commercial terms that are not less advantageous to the Company than if the Loan was obtained from an arm's length person.
