VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 14, 2024 / NextGen Food Robotics Corp. (the "Company") (NEO:NGRB)(OTC PINK:NGRBF)(FRA:O83) announces that it has granted (the "RSU Grant") an aggregate of 2,527,775 restricted share units (the "RSUs") to Paul Rivas, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, pursuant to the Company's equity incentive plan, as compensation for ongoing services to be rendered to the Company.
Each RSU, once vested, will allow Mr. Rivas to acquire one (1) common share of the Company. The RSUs will vest in three equal installments on the dates that are 4, 12 and 18 months following the date of grant.
The RSU Grant constituted a "related party transaction" as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority ?Security Holders in ?Special Transactions ??("MI 61-??101")?. The Company relied on section 5.5(a) of MI 61-??101 as the exemption from the formal ??valuation ?requirement of MI 61-101 and section ??5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the exemption from ?the minority approval ?requirements of MI 61-101 in respect of the ?RSU Grant, as neither the fair ??market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value ?of the consideration for, the RSUs granted exceeded 25% of the Company's ??market capitalization.??The material change report to be filed in relation to the RSU Grant was not filed at least 21 days prior to the date of grant, as contemplated by MI 61-101, given the Company granted the RSUs shortly before the issuance of this news release for sound business reasons.
