Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 11, 2020) – Ironwood Capital Corp. (TSXV: IRN.P) (“Ironwood” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a sale, assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assumption Agreement”) dated May 11, 2020 with Origen Resources Inc. (“Origen”) respecting the purchase and assumption by Ironwood of all of Origen’s right, title and interest in, to and under an option and joint venture agreement (the “Underlying Agreement”) dated May 10, 2018, as amended January 7, 2020, with Great Atlantic Resources Corp. (“Great Atlantic”) (the “Transaction”).

The Transaction is intended to qualify as Ironwood’s “Qualifying Transaction” as defined by Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). Trading of the common shares of Ironwood will remain halted in connection with the dissemination of this press release and will recommence at such time as the Exchange may determine, having regard to the completion of certain requirements pursuant to Exchange Policy 2.4. Further details of the proposed Transaction will follow in future press releases.

The Transaction

Under the Assumption Agreement, Origen will sell, transfer, assign, convey and set over to Ironwood all of Origen’s right, title, benefit, interest and obligations in, to and under the Underlying Agreement. As consideration for the assignment, Ironwood will issue an aggregate of 500,000 common shares in the capital of Ironwood to Origen. Ironwood is not required to make any deposit, advance or loan under the Transaction. The Transaction is subject to completion of certain conditions precedent, including without limitation receipt of Exchange approval and written consent of Great Atlantic to the assignment of the Underlying Agreement.

Pursuant to the Underlying Agreement, Origen, as optionee, has the right to earn (the “Option”) a 75% interest (subject to a 2% net smelter returns royalty contained in the Underlying Agreement) in the Kagoot Brook property (the “Property”) located near Bathhurst, New Brunswick, comprised of one mineral tenure covering 4,233 hectares and registered in Great Atlantic’s name. Origen is current in its obligations under the Underlying Agreement, including incurring $100,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property during the 2018 exploration season. To successfully exercise the Option, the optionee is required to: (a) as operator on the Property, make a total of $650,000 of exploration expenditures on the Property on or before May 10, 2022; and (b) make aggregate cash payments of $110,000 to Great Atlantic, as follows: $30,000 by May 23, 2020; $30,000 by January 23, 2021; and $50,000 by January 23, 2022. Once the Option has been exercised, certain tenures comprising the Property will be subject to a 2% NSR royalty in favour of the prospectors who staked those tenures, with 1% of such NSR royalty being subject to a repurchase right for $500,000. Upon successful exercise of the Option, the optionee shall have acquired an undivided 75% interest in the Property, which interest will be subject to the 75%/25% joint venture formed between the optionee and Great Atlantic under the terms provided in the Underlying Agreement. If a joint venture party does not contribute its proportionate share of expenditures on the Property, the non-contributing party’s joint venture interest will be reduced proportionately. If Great Atlantic’s joint venture interest is reduced to 5% or less, Great Atlantic will be deemed to have withdrawn from the joint venture and its remaining interest in the Property will convert into a 3% net smelter royalty, with the optionee having the right to repurchase up to 2% of such royalty for $1,000,000 per each 1%.

Origen is a British Columbia company and a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Yukon with its shares listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol “ORGN”. Origen has no controlling shareholders.

In conjunction with the Transaction, Ironwood will be conducting a private placement financing (the “Private Placement”) under which it will raise gross proceeds of up to $250,000 through the issuance of units (each, a “Unit”) at a price of $0.18 per Unit, with each Unit comprised of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant will be exercisable for an Ironwood common share at an exercise price of $0.35 for two years from the date of issuance. The Company may pay finder’s fees and may issue finder’s warrants in connection with the Private Placement.

No non-arm’s length party to Ironwood has any direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Transaction, the Underlying Agreement or the Property or is otherwise an insider of Origen. The Transaction does not constitute a “Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction” (as such term is defined by the Exchange). In addition, the Transaction is not a “related party transaction” as such term is defined by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions and is not subject to Policy 5.9 of the Exchange. As a result, no meeting of the shareholders of Ironwood is required pursuant to Policy 2.4 of the Exchange, applicable securities laws or applicable corporate laws.

Sponsorship of a Qualifying Transaction of a capital pool company is required by the Exchange unless exempt in accordance with Exchange policies or unless a waiver is granted by the Exchange. Ironwood intends to apply for an exemption from the sponsorship requirements under section 3.4 of Exchange Policy 2.2 or a waiver of sponsorship if an exemption from sponsorship is unavailable; however, there can be no guarantee that a waiver will be granted if no exemption is available.

The Resulting Issuer

The Company will be a “Mining” issuer under the policies of the Exchange.

On closing of the Transaction, and assuming that Ironwood raises $250,000 under the Private Placement on the terms described above, the Company will have 5,450,890 common shares issued and outstanding. The current shareholders of Ironwood would hold approximately 65.35% of the shares of the Company, participants in the Private Placement would hold approximately 25.48% of the shares of the Company, and Origen would hold approximately 9.17% of the shares of the Resulting Issuer.

As fintech continues to reshape the global financial landscape, today’s briefing highlights pivotal developments, strategic expansions, and innovative launches across the industry. This op-ed explores the latest advancements with commentary on their potential impacts and challenges.

Finastra Data Breach: A Wake-Up Call for Fintech Security

Source: KrebsOnSecurity

The cybersecurity landscape is buzzing after Finastra, one of the largest financial technology providers globally, confirmed an investigation into a potential data breach. Reports suggest unauthorized access to its systems, raising concerns about data security across its client base, which includes thousands of banks and financial institutions worldwide.

Implications and Challenges

While the details of the breach remain sparse, this incident underscores a glaring vulnerability in the fintech sector—cybersecurity. As financial services increasingly rely on interconnected ecosystems, breaches like these threaten not only individual institutions but also the trust customers place in fintech platforms.

The key takeaway for the fintech industry is clear: proactive cybersecurity strategies must go beyond compliance. Real-time threat detection, robust encryption standards, and regular audits are no longer optional but essential for maintaining operational integrity.

Future Considerations

This breach could trigger a domino effect, prompting regulators to tighten security standards and requiring fintech companies to double down on investments in data protection. Startups and mid-tier players, often lacking extensive cybersecurity budgets, may face significant pressure to keep pace.

PayPal Resurrects Money Pooling Feature

In a bid to stay ahead of the competition, PayPal is reintroducing its Money Pooling feature, a popular tool that was discontinued in 2021. The feature allows users to pool funds collectively, catering to families, small businesses, and social groups.

Strategic Revival

This move reflects PayPal’s commitment to customer-centric innovation. By reinstating a feature beloved by its user base, the company seeks to reclaim market share lost to emerging competitors offering similar functionalities.

Broader Industry Impacts

Money pooling represents a broader trend in fintech—customized solutions that cater to niche needs. This reintroduction may inspire competitors like Venmo and CashApp to refine their collaborative payment offerings.

While this move strengthens PayPal’s ecosystem, its success will depend on seamless integration with existing services and robust fraud prevention mechanisms to avoid abuse of the feature.

Challenges on the Horizon

While Mexico offers immense opportunities, regulatory complexities and market competition from local players like Clip and Konfío pose significant challenges. Santander will need to blend its global expertise with local adaptability to succeed in this dynamic market.

The U.S. fintech sector might witness an infusion of optimism as speculation about a second Trump presidency gains momentum. The Trump-era policies of deregulation and venture capital encouragement are remembered as catalysts for unprecedented fintech growth during his first term.
