The principal amount of each Convertible Debenture may, at the option of the Convertible Debenture holder, be convertible, in whole or in part during the Term, into common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) at a conversion price of $0.20 per Common Share (the “Conversion”), after which such principal amount of the Convertible Debenture will be extinguished.   The Company, after a period of thirty-six (36) months following the date of closing, will have the right, but not  the obligation, to redeem the principal amount and any unpaid interest of the Convertible Debenture, in cash, without penalty, at any time prior to the date of maturity by providing a thirty (30) calendar day notice period (the “Redemption Notice”) to the Convertible Debenture holder by way of a written notice or a press release duly disseminated. W ithin ten (10) business days after receipt of the Redemption Notice, the Convertible Debenture holder, at its sole discretion, may request for a Conversion (of the principal amount only exclusive of any interest component which is payable in cash only) from the Company by the issuance of Common Shares.  All rights to Conversion lapses ten (10) business days after receipt of the Redemption Notice.   The Convertible Debentures and any Common Shares issuable upon conversion will be subject to a statutory hold period lasting four months and one day following the closing date.   The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Private Placement for the closing of the acquisition of “The Fuse”, a 125-unit condominium grade multi-family residential complex that was constructed in 2015 and is comprised of two buildings situated on approximately 2.67 acres of land located in the Summerside neighborhood with the municipal addresses of 2105 and 2109 68 Street SW, Edmonton, Alberta, as previously announced on October 2 nd, 2023, and general working capital.   Pursuant to the Private Placement, Mr. Ben Lui acquired 2,000 Convertible Debentures in the principal amount of $2,000,000.  This transaction is considered a “related party transaction” pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) as Mr. Ben Lui is the CEO, director and majority shareholder of Yorkton.  This transaction will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101.

Increasing clamour for interest rate pause in US — Anthony Ginsberg

HANetf Holdings Limited

HAN-GINS Cloud Technology Equal Weight UCITS ETF (LSE:SKYY) and HAN-GINS Tech Megatrend Equal Weight UCITS ETF (LSE:ITEK) founder Anthony Ginsberg visits the Proactive London studio to speak about developments in the world of technology and the performance of his tech-exposed ETFs. Ginsburg highlights that his Tech Megatrend ETF covers eight sub-themes and had good run in the first half of the year, followed by a slight dip more recently. He emphasises that they take a balanced approach, with holdings equally weighted and rebalanced every six months, unlike other heavily U.S.-focused tech indices. He also pointed out the convergence of tech themes, such as AI and gaming, which are blurring the lines between sectors. When asked about the level of US exposure in his ETFs, Ginsburg explains that certain tech sectors like robotics and electric vehicles have strong leadership outside the U.S., particularly in Asia, which makes it prudent to take a global approach. Regarding future interest rates and potential paths forward for the US Federal Reserve, Ginsburg expresses optimism, suggesting that a pause or slower rate hikes could benefit tech stocks. He notes that tech ETFs are currently trading at relatively low price/earning ratios, making them attractive investments for the coming months. In summary, Anthony Ginsburg remains positive about the tech sector's prospects, emphasising the importance of a diversified and balanced approach to investment.

Zephyr Energy PLC

Zephyr Energy PLC (AIM:ZPHR, OTCQB:ZPHRF) chief executive Colin Harrington speaks to Thomas Warner after the Rocky Mountain-focused oil and gas company released a fresh update on its work in the Paradox Basin. Harrington starts by giving an update on the company's State 36-2 LNW-CC well, which back in April experienced a control incident during which hydrocarbons flowed unconstrained for four days due to the failure of a safety valve. He explains that after exploring multiple ways to move forward with the well the decision has been taken to proceed with a redrill of a "twinned" well from an adjacent location on the same drilling pad. The Company said in its accompanying RNS that it retains full well control insurance coverage and expects to recover substantially all costs associated with the well control incident, including those associated with the redrill. He goes on to give an update on the Greentown Federal 28-11 well and also announces an agreement to further expand the Paradox project by farming-in to the Salt Wash Field, a previously producing asset with proven oil, gas and helium reserves located directly to the south of Zephyr's White Sands Unit in Utah.
