Pursuant to the Settlement Agreements, CDN$1,483,835 will be settled and a total of 29,676,713 common shares will be issued to the creditors, which would represent a total of 40.65% of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares of Tantalex following the completion of the Shares for Debt Settlement.
