Mukuba is pleased to announce that it has completed the debt settlement transaction announced on June 19, 2015 (the "Settlement"). Pursuant to the Settlement, the Company issued 13,228,142 common shares at a deemed issue price of $0.05 per common share to settle indebtedness in the total aggregate total amount of $661,407.10. All of common shares issued pursuant to the Settlement are subject to a four-month and one day hold period from the date of issuance. In addition, pursuant to the policies of the TSX-V, 6,462,032 common shares issued pursuant to the Settlement are subject to a 36-month resale restriction, to be released as to 5% upon issuance of the TSX-V bulletin accepting the Settlement, with additional releases of 5%, 10%, 10%, 15%, 15%, and 40%, respectively, every six months thereafter.

The participation in the Settlement by certain insiders of the Company constitutes a "related party transaction" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"), requiring the Company, in the absence of exemptions, to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval. Persons who were "related parties" (as defined by MI 61-101) of the Company were issued an aggregate total of 4,635,457 common shares to settle indebtedness in the aggregate amount of $231,772.85. These debt settlements are exempt from the valuation requirement of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption set out in section 5.5(1)(b), as the Company's securities are not listed on certain specified markets. The Company is relying on the financial hardship exemption to the minority shareholder approval requirement set out at section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, on grounds the Company is in serious financial difficulty, the debt settlement is designed to improve its financial condition, the Company has one or more independent directors in respect of the debt settlement, and such independent directors support the transaction for the reasons stated above, and consider the transaction to be reasonable given the Company's circumstances.
