That's close. Bourque Industries issued 35million shares of stock to pay off a $778,600 debt. So, in effect Bourque issued (or sold)
35million shares of stock for .0222 (2.222 cents)per share today!!

WOW, can't wait till these guys decide to start selling their stock.

Wonder why JB didn't offer to sell us shares at that price. Just getting thrown under the bus ... again!!!!!

To Alvie and others: Yes, that is precisely what this deal means, they settled nearly $800,000 of debt for a certain number of shares. The number of shares will likely not be 35 million in the end, see the filing, where it says the number of shares IV is entitled to is:

"250,000 common shares plus that number of shares with an aggregate value equal to the debt amount plus ten percent and reasonable attorney fees, divided by 80% of the following: the volume weighted average price of the issuer’s common stock over that number of consecutive trading days following the date of receipt required for the aggregate trading volume to exceed $5 million, not to exceed the arithmetic average of the individual daily volume weighted average prices of any five trading days during such period."

Nevertheless, it's heavily weighted towards Ironside, and the number will likely be around 35 million in the end (give or take).

JB likely did not have much choice to proceed, however, as this fund acquired the debt and could likely have filed suit for judgment against BORK for the full amount. BORK not having that amount in cash to pay the debt, or dollars to litigate it in court, might have ended in a bankruptcy judgment in my opinion.

Having said all that, JB and ATL need to know this is not the way to settle a debt like this and I hope they will call someone skilled before any such future transactions like this. The person I have in mind is a person who is a long-time investor in BORK since the GPGI days and regular poster on this board.

The calculation would require them to return a large portion of the 35 million. By my estimates they would be entitled to about 7.5-8.5 million shares for payment of that $779,000 in accounts payable.

If Bourque was going to issue 35 million shares from their treasury, would they need to have a meeting of the Board to
approve doing such. Didn't see any mention of a meeting of the Board of Directors under the governance part of their website.

Wonder if this was a unilateral decision by JB and then fill in the blanks later ... or not ... JB is good at not filling in the blanks.
