VIRTUAL ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS AND NEWLY PROPOSED SHARES FOR DEBTS
Debt‑to‑Equity Swap at $0.12 Share Price Bolsters Balance Sheet, Signals Fresh Capital Infusion

Executive Summary
- On April 7 2026 Geekco filed its proxy circular for the May 6 shareholders’ meeting.
- The company proposes to settle up to $1.72 million of outstanding convertible debentures (plus $229,728 accrued interest) by issuing up to 16,247,733 new common shares at $0.12 per share (total consideration ≤ $1.95 M).
- The conversion is intended to preserve cash and strengthen the balance sheet.
- Each newly issued share will be subject to a four‑month plus one‑day resale restriction pending regulatory approval (TSX‑V).
Material Impact
- Balance‑sheet effect: Converting ~ $2 M of debt into equity removes a near‑term liability and associated interest expense, improving liquidity and solvency ratios.
- Dilution: Issuing 16.25 M shares at $0.12 represents roughly a 30‑35 % increase in the current share count (based on ~45 M shares outstanding after prior private placements). Dilution is material but offset by debt removal.
- Pricing contrast: The $0.12 price is more than double the recent market price ($0.05) and far above earlier financing rounds ($0.05 per unit). This higher conversion price suggests a premium to existing shareholders, mitigating dilution impact.
- Strategic relevance: No new product or revenue catalyst accompanies the announcement; the primary benefit is financial stability. Given Geekco’s history of cash‑draining private placements, this debt‑to‑equity swap is a significant step toward reducing financing risk.
- Regulatory risk: Completion hinges on TSX‑V approval and the lock‑up period; however, similar past share‑for‑debt deals were approved without issue.
Overall, the news delivers a material positive effect: it removes a sizable debt burden while offering a premium conversion price that limits shareholder dilution.
