TORONTO, CANADA, February 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Celly Nutrition Corp. (the “Company” or “Celly”), has granted 112,000,000 restricted share units (“RSUs”) representing the right to receive 112,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (each, a “Share”), vesting upon specific milestones, to certain eligible persons of the Company. The terms of the RSUs granted are in accordance with the Company’s equity incentive plan adopted and ratified by the Company’s shareholders by written consent on September 22, 2023.
Related Party Transactions:
As related parties of the Company received RSUs, the grant is considered a related party transaction for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The participation of the related parties of the Company are exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under MI 61-101 in accordance with sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101. The Company is relying on an exemption from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 available because the fair market value of the RSUs granted to the related parties does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report related to the RSU grant more than 21 days before the grant as required by MI 61-101 but believes that this shorter period is reasonable and necessary in the circumstances.
The RSUs granted will be subject to a four-month and one day statutory hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws. The RSUs granted have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any U.S. state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an available exemption from the registration requirement of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of, such securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
