VANCOUVER, BC / June 8, 2020 / / CVR Medical Corp. (CVM.V) (TSXV: CVM) (OTCQB: CRRVF)
(“CVR Medical” or the “Company” or “we“) a Canadian listed and US based healthcare company in the medical device market, provides an update on the proposed Restructuring Agreement previously announced on March 16, 2020 and severance agreement with Peter Bakema, former CEO.
The parties have terminated and cancelled the previously announced restructuring agreement and the Board of Directors is in the process of renegotiating an alternative restructuring agreement with CVR Global Inc. A special meeting of the shareholders will be called to vote on any agreement that may be reached after conditional approval from the TSX-V is received. As well, any restructuring agreement will be subject to disinterested shareholder approval and final TSX-V acceptance. The former CEO Peter Bakema will hold more than 10% of CVR Medical shares, however, his involvement with the Company will be as a shareholder only and subject to a voting trust agreement. Mr. Bakema will for a period of (12) twelve months assist in an unpaid capacity to coordinate and transition ongoing capital development efforts.
The Board of Directors has also agreed to a severance package with Mr. Bakema. The severance agreement states that Mr. Bakema is to receive US $500,000 in monthly installments (US $15,000/month) to begin after CVR Medical receives at least US $1,000,000 in new investment. The balance of a house loan of US
$130,639 is to be deducted from the monthly payments (US $5,000/month) until the loan is paid in full. This package settles any unpaid salaries due to Mr. Bakema from 2016 through 2019. Upon review of the agreement by the Company’s audit firm, no restatement of prior financials is expected.
