VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – June 14, 2016) – NV Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:NVX) (the “Company“) announced today that it has agreed to complete a debt settlement transaction with its President and CEO under which:
- he will acquire 1,580,592 common shares of the Company in settlement of C$102,738.53 in debts of the Company payable to him for past services and out of pocket expenses incurred on behalf of the Company in a shares-for-debt transaction; and
- he will forgive and forever release the Company in respect of C$308,188.80 in debts of the Company payable to him for past services.
The Company’s President and CEO has not received payment of his salary in cash since early 2012 and the Company has been accruing what it owes the President and CEO as a debt. The Company considers the accrued debt is an obstacle to securing any possible financing of the Company or any possible acquisition on behalf of the Company. In order to facilitate the advance of the Company’s business, the directors have approved an agreement to eliminate the Company’s debts to Mr. Watson, in part through the issue of shares to Mr. Watson in a shares-for-debt transaction. The President and CEO has also agreed to forgive the balance of the money owed to him. The shares-for-debt transaction is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The shares of the Company to be issued under the shares-for-debt transaction will be subject to a four-month hold period.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
John E. Watson, President and CEO
