The Board is pleased to announce that on September 28, 2021 (Calgary time), the Corporation and the Forbearing Holder entered into an interest waiver agreement (the “ Interest Waiver Agreement ”) pursuant to which the Forbearing Holder agree to unconditionally and irrevocably waive the interest accrued between January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 at 10.0% per annum on the outstanding amounts (principal and interests) under the Forbearance Reinstatement and Amending Agreement (“ FRAA ”) dated August 8, 2021 (the “ Waiver of Interest ”) which amounted to US$31,529,139.
Save as the Waiver of Interest, all other terms and conditions as stipulated in the FRAA remain unchanged.
