Executive Summary

Absolutely Critical Resources Corp. (TSXV: ABC) announced that the TSXV has accepted the partial cancellation and settlement of $381,000 in outstanding debt owed to management and directors. The settlement structure involves a $176,000 cancellation and the conversion of the remaining $205,000 balance into 4,100,000 common shares at a deemed conversion price of $0.05 per share.

Forty percent of the reduced debt was assigned to arms' length parties at a 50% discount, triggering specific trading legends. Shares issued for the assigned portion are subject to a legend restricting trading to five equal tranches of 20% each, with each tranche released every three months. All shares carry a four-month statutory hold period from issuance.

The transaction is classified as a related-party transaction under National Instrument 61-101, exempt from formal valuation and minority approval. Following the transaction, the company’s share count stands at 37,810,111 common shares. Management indicated plans to issue a progress report on 2026 exploration programs shortly.
