The company Centurion Minerals Ltd. has provided additional information following earlier announcements dated May 07, 2026 and May 12, 2026. In a press release distributed on May 22, 2026, Centurion reiterated that it agreed to resolve outstanding liabilities totaling $415,000 by issuing 5,533,333 common shares at a price of $0.075 per share. This opening summary establishes the framework for the transactions under review and sets the stage for how director participation and regulatory compliance are being addressed by the board.
Transaction specifics and allocation
The overall arrangement converts the specified debt into equity, with 4,466,667 common shares (representing $335,000 of the debt) being issued to two directors or entities controlled by them. The mechanics of a shares for debt settlement mean creditors receive company stock instead of cash, reducing the company’s cash obligations while increasing its outstanding share count. Centurion confirmed the per-share valuation used for the conversion and the precise allocation of shares among participating creditors, which changes the post-transaction ownership percentages statewide in the company’s register.
Director participation and post-transaction holdings
Two directors are the recipients of the substantial portion of the shares being issued. Mr. David Tafel, through his wholly owned vehicle Pacific Capital Advisors Ltd., agreed to accept 2,586,667 shares to extinguish $194,000 of debt. After the issuance, his combined direct and indirect holding will total 4,577,454 shares, which Centurion reports as approximately 11.6% of the issued and outstanding common shares following completion. Meanwhile, Mr. Jeremy Wright, via Seatrend Strategy Inc., accepted 1,880,000 shares in settlement of $141,000, increasing his aggregate position to 3,957,576 shares or roughly 10.0% post-transaction.
What the numbers mean for ownership
The result of these conversions is upward pressure on insider ownership percentages while simultaneously diluting other shareholdings proportionally. For stakeholders, the transaction alters the cap table and may influence voting dynamics and potential future financings. Centurion notes these share issuances are conditional on final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange, and the company will proceed only once the exchange completes its review and grants the requisite approvals.
Regulatory classification and exemptions relied upon
Centurion classifies the allocations to its directors as a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (MI 61-101) and as subject to policy 5.9 of the TSX Venture Exchange. Despite this classification, the board has determined that the directors’ participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval mandates normally triggered by such transactions. The company cites reliance on the exemptions found in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 to support that determination.
Practical implications of the exemptions
Using the specified exemptions means Centurion believes it need not obtain an independent valuation report nor call for a vote of minority shareholders for these particular shares-for-debt settlements. That reliance is a procedural decision by the board and is consistent with the carve-outs available in MI 61-101 when certain conditions are met. Nevertheless, the company has disclosed the facts and rationale to provide transparency to the market and to allow regulators and investors to assess the appropriateness of the approach.
Company profile, approvals and cautionary language
Centurion Minerals Ltd. is a Canada-based exploration and development company focused on precious mineral assets in the Americas. The company reiterated that the contemplated share issuances remain subject to final review and authorization by the TSX Venture Exchange. In addition, the press release includes a customary caution noting that statements about future plans, expectations and performance are forward-looking information, which may be affected by risks and uncertainties and should not be treated as guarantees.
Standard disclaimers and next steps
