Hillcrest Provides Update on Shares for Debt Offering
Hillcrest Swaps Equity for Director Fees as Cash Burn Outpaces Commercialization

Executive Summary
- The most recent release (March 31, 2026) updates a previously announced Shares for Debt Offering, increasing the target proceeds from $500,000 to $550,000.
- The offering is priced at $0.18 per unit, with each unit comprising one common share and one warrant exercisable at $0.20 for 12 months.
- Up to $140,000 of the proceeds is explicitly earmarked to settle previously accrued director fees, with the remainder allocated to general corporate purposes and debt settlement.
- This release is a direct follow-up to the March 23, 2026 announcement of the same offering structure, indicating a minor administrative adjustment rather than a new strategic development.
- The offering carries a standard four-month-plus-one-day statutory hold period and is restricted from U.S. distribution.
Material Impact
- The update is non-material and routine. It merely adjusts the size of an already disclosed financing by $50,000 and clarifies the allocation for director compensation.
- The pricing ($0.18/unit) sits slightly above the recent trading range ($0.14-$0.15), but the attached warrants at $0.20 create additional future dilution.
- The explicit use of equity to pay accrued director fees signals ongoing working capital constraints and a reliance on non-cash compensation to preserve liquidity.
- Market expectations remain unchanged. The news does not alter the commercialization timeline, customer pipeline, or fundamental valuation drivers.
