Concerned Shareholders highlight that Fancamp shareholders have suffered too long from conflicted corporate governance and value destroying management.
Concerned Shareholders demand that the mandate of the board be determined by a long overdue vote of shareholders at an AGM prior to the Transaction with ScoZinc.
Concerned Shareholders question the merits of the plan of arrangement with ScoZinc.
Concerned Shareholders demand that Fancamp attain shareholder approval regarding the plan of arrangement with ScoZinc.
Concerned Shareholders question the mandate of the current board and the dishonest motives behind the delay to the AGM.
Concerned Shareholders demand that Mark Billings and Ashwath Mehra resign from the board of Fancamp immediately.
Concerned Shareholders demand that the TSXV intervene to not allow Fancamp to disenfranchise shareholders with such a dilutive transaction without a shareholder vote.

Montreal, Quebec–(Newsfile Corp. – March 1, 2021) – Incumbent director of Fancamp, Peter H. Smith, who, together with joint actors holds in aggregate, directly and indirectly an aggregate of 15,416,097 shares, representing approximately 9.28% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares, and a group of concerned shareholders of Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (“Fancamp” or the “Company”) (the “Concerned Shareholders”), are extremely disheartened with the announcement on February 18, 2021 of Fancamp’s highly dilutive, self-serving and non-arm’s length transaction with ScoZinc Mining Ltd. (“ScoZinc”) whereby Fancamp will indirectly acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of ScoZinc by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Combination” or the “Transaction”) without requesting shareholders of Fancamp to provide shareholder approval for the Transaction.

Several facts were suspiciously omitted from the rightful owners of Fancamp – YOU, the shareholders – which bring to the forefront several questions about the merits of the Transaction and further highlight why a shareholder vote is necessary to approve this Transaction. The Concerned Shareholders have received several calls and emails from shareholders expressing their displeasure with the Transaction and demanding that their voices be heard. Interestingly, the same individuals that are promoting the Transaction are behind the lack of proper disclosure, and poor corporate governance that includes disenfranchising shareholders of the Company by not announcing a date for the annual general meeting (“AGM”) for 2020 and receiving an unjustifiable extension from the BC Registrar of Companies of the time within which it is required to hold its AGM for the year 2020 by six months from December 31, 2020, to June 30, 2021. The Concerned Shareholders reiterate that they want the following: (a) a vote on the composition of the board at an AGM prior to the closing of the Transaction with ScoZinc and (b) their voices to be heard with respect to the ScoZinc Transaction (i.e., attain shareholder approval at an AGM).

Upon further review of the Transaction agreement posted on SEDAR, there were several important facts that were suspiciously not disclosed to Fancamp shareholders in Fancamp’s news release announcing the proposed transaction which would highlight why it is imperative to have Fancamp shareholders vote on the Transaction. Below is a list of omissions and questions that need to be addressed by Fancamp and ScoZinc publicly prior to this Transaction closing. Furthermore, these omissions and questions should force the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) to inform Fancamp that shareholder approval is required for such a dilutive non-arm’s length transaction. They are as follows:

A critical fact that was absent from the announcement of the proposed Transaction was that Mr. Smith, as an independent director for the purposes of applicable securities laws relating to matters concerning the rights of minority shareholders in connection with the Transaction, voted against the Transaction.

Ashwath Mehra and Mark Billings are both Fancamp directors who have a conflict of interest with respect to the Transaction. Rajesh Sharma was recently appointed, not elected to the board, by these two conflicted directors. Therefore, only two elected independent directors voted on the Transaction and one of them (Mr. Smith) voted against the Transaction.

There is no mention that Ashwath Mehra, in addition to being a director of ScoZinc, is also a large shareholder of ScoZinc and, as a result, stands to significantly benefit personally from the transaction. According to SEDI filings and the latest interim statements for ScoZinc, Mr. Mehra holds 1,538,334 ScoZinc shares, 1,338,334 warrants exercisable at $0.50 and 40,000 options exercisable at $0.52. Upon completion of the Transaction, he is due to receive 9,230,004 Fancamp shares, 8,030,004 warrants exercisable at $0.0833 and 240,000 options exercisable at $0.0867. Based on an $0.11 share price for Fancamp and assuming full dilution less the cost of exercising the warrants and options, Mr. Mehra will gain approximately $1.24 million from the Transaction. Existing shareholders of Fancamp will gain nothing!

There is no mention of the related nature of the relationships of the ScoZinc board and management and the Fancamp board members and management. Mr. Mark Haywood, Mr. Simon Candrea, Mr. Ashwath Mehra and Mr. Mark Billings all started at ScoZinc within two (2) months of each other (August 2019-October 2019) and will all be on the new Fancamp board and/or management once the Transaction closes. This highlights the related nature of the relationships at play and leaves one to believe that this has been carefully orchestrated. This type of behaviour is unacceptable and from a governance perspective is even more reason to require shareholder approval to legitimize the board’s decision.

There is no mention that Mark Billings was a director of both companies until he resigned from ScoZinc’s board on December 2, 2020, inexplicably less than one month after being re-elected as a director at ScoZinc’s AGM held on November 3, 2020. Despite this disclosable conflict of interest in the transaction, Billings has refused to recuse himself from voting on the Transaction.

There is no mention as to the date of Ernst & Young LLP fairness opinion and what valuation metrics used to complete the fairness opinion. If anything, the fairness opinion should be posted to SEDAR so that it may be independently evaluated by Fancamp shareholders.

The Transaction will result in the issue of approximately 84.5 million shares to bring the Fancamp issued and outstanding share count to approximately 250.5 million representing dilution to existing Fancamp shareholders of 33.7%. On a fully diluted basis existing Fancamp shareholders will be giving 44.3% of THEIR company to ScoZinc shareholders and the share structure will increase 317.0 million shares!

According to the latest available SEDAR filings, as at September 30, 2020 ScoZinc reported working capital of only $68,574 (ScoZinc Management and Discussion and Analysis dated November 5, 2020) and is essentially insolvent compared to Fancamp with reported working capital of $17,042,721 as at October 31, 2020 (Fancamp Management and Discussion and Analysis dated December 30, 2020).

Despite ScoZinc management glowingly referring to the “Scotia Mine’s robust Pre-Feasibility Study in July 2020” in a press release dated February 26, 2021, they have failed to secure any binding equity, debt or offtake agreements to finance the project, and without high jacking Fancamp’s treasury it is unlikely that any financing would be forthcoming for this project on its own merits. Furthermore, ScoZinc’s management failed to mention in the press release whether they have received an interim order which was stipulated in the arrangement agreement to be obtained by February 26, 2021, further highlighting that ScoZinc, like Fancamp’s incumbent management, has poor disclosure and governance practices.

Why has Fancamp’s 2020 AGM been delayed when, if held, would provide shareholders with an opportunity to voice their opinion as to whether this proposed transaction should proceed, particularly when Fancamp previously represented it would hold its AGM in the first quarter of 2021?

The Concerned Shareholders urge the TSXV to immediately notify Fancamp that shareholder approval must be attained before any plan of arrangement can be consummated. This transaction is rife with conflicts that have not been properly disclosed to shareholders of Fancamp. The behaviour of Mr. Billings, Mr. Mehra and Mr. Sharma highlight the lack of respect they have for Fancamp shareholders and underscores that these individuals feel that they can do whatever they want. It is clear they have forgotten their accountability and apparently feel they can manipulate various rules and policies that are in place to protect shareholders to their advantage with impunity. This must stop, and it must stop now.

The proposed Combination is yet another misguided move by an entrenched Fancamp board and management team that claim this Transaction is for the betterment of the Company and its shareholders but in reality is being done to further their own self-interests in complicity with ScoZinc insiders who will increase their interest in Fancamp from less than 1% to 18% fully diluted. Moreover, ScoZinc directors Mark Haywood and Chris Hopkins will be nominated to, and with Mr. Billings, Mr. Mehra and Mr. Sharma, will control the post-Transaction board of Fancamp. In addition, Mr. Haywood, who is ScoZinc’s current CEO, and Mr. Simion Candrea vice-president, investor relations of ScoZinc, will have their contracts assumed by Fancamp resulting in ScoZinc’s current board and management members comprising a majority of Fancamp’s board and management on closing of the Combination. It is clear that these decisions further entrench the conflicted incumbent board members of Fancamp and stifle the voices of any truly independent director of Fancamp which runs counter to any desire to run an organization with good corporate governance.

Additionally, the Concerned Shareholders find it incomprehensible that shareholder approval is not required in the face of known public agitations by the Concerned Shareholders expressing the intent to remove various members of the board of Fancamp. For this transaction to be announced prior to the long overdue 2020 AGM is outrageous and a slap in the face for all Fancamp shareholders.

The Concerned Shareholders would like to thank the number of shareholders that have contacted them or Gryphon Advisors Inc. to express their support and sharing stories of inappropriate behaviour exhibited by Mr. Mehra. The Concerned Shareholders look forward to engaging with each Fancamp shareholder when legally appropriate.

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
