July 9, 2024
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 9, 2024 – Forte Minerals Corp. ("Forte" or the "Company") (CSE: CUAU) (OTCQB: FOMNF) (Frankfurt: 2OA), announces that pursuant to its previously announced shares for debt settlement (see press release dated July 2, 2024), it has now completed the debt settlement with certain of its creditors (together, the "Creditors") issuing 283,000 common shares (the "Settlement Shares") at deemed price of $0.20 per share settling outstanding accounts payable totaling $56,600.00 (the "Shares for Debt Transaction") owing to the Creditors. The Company is completing the Shares for Debt Transaction to improve its financial position in an effort to support its planned future growth.
The Creditors include certain directors and officers (collectively, the "Related Parties"), who will receive an aggregate of 150,000 of the Settlement Shares. The issuance of the Settlement Shares to the Related Parties constitutes a "related party transaction" as such term is defined by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the directors of the Company have determined that the issuance of the Settlement Shares is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 in reliance on the exemptions set forth in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the issuance of the Settlement Shares, exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).
All Settlement Shares will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring on November 10, 2024
