TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 11/18/15 -- Copper One Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CUO) ("Copper One" or the "Company") has entered into settlement agreements (the "Settlement Agreements") with various creditors of the Company whereby Copper One would issue common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.05 per common share representing a partial settlement of the amounts owing to such creditors (the "Shares for Debt Settlement"). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreements, CDN$195,000 would be settled and a total of 3,900,000 common shares would be issued to the creditors, which would represent a total of 37.81% of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares of Copper One following the completion of the Shares for Debt Settlement.
The board and management of Copper One believe that the proposed Shares for Debt Settlement is in the best interests of the Company because the creditors have agreed to settle partial amounts of the debts owed to them for common shares at a price per share that represents a 25% premium to the closing market price of the company's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on November 17, 2014.
The Shares for Debt Settlement will not create a new Control Person holding more than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the company.
