Holders of all the Company's 9% Subordinated Secured Convertible Debentures (the "Debentures") have approved an amendment to the conversion price from $4.00 to $0.06 and in connection there with have agreed to convert such indebtedness into subordinate voting shares of the Company ("Debenture Conversion"). Pursuant to the Debenture Conversion it is anticipated that High Fusion will issue 30,465,690 subordinate voting shares for settlement of the principal balance of $1,807,000 plus accrued interest to the date of conversion of $20,941.

Pursuant to the Debenture Conversion, 5,900,936 subordinate voting shares will be issued to certain Insiders to settle $354,056 of High Fusion debenture principal and interest to such Insiders. Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), the Debt Settlement with Insiders constituted a "related party transaction" as certain transferees were considered to be related parties to High Fusion. The Company relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 (pursuant to subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a)) as the fair market value of the securities transferred to, and the consideration received from, the Insiders did not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Debt Settlement has been approved by all of the independent directors of the Company.
