(“Mission Ready” or the “Company”) (TSXV: MRS) is pleased to announce that, subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange, certain creditors have agreed to accept an aggregate of 14,604,387 common shares (the “Shares”) of the Company, at a deemed value of CAD $0.15 per Share, for outstanding promissory notes, consulting fees, accrued interest and other amounts owed totaling CAD $2,190,658 (“Debt Settlements”).  The Shares issued pursuant to the Debt Settlements are subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance of such securities.

Over 98% of the debt being settled – an aggregate of C$2,157,470 – relates to outstanding amounts due to the former owners of Unifire, Inc.

Jeffery Schwartz, President & CEO of Mission Ready, states, “We extend our sincere gratitude to Darrell and Dan as they further demonstrate their unwavering dedication to the Company’s success – we are determined to create sustainable shareholder value to reward Darrell, Dan, and all of those who have entrusted us to lead the Company forward through this challenging but, nonetheless, exciting transitional phase. These Debt Settlements represent a significant improvement of the Company’s balance sheet which will be a key component in our ongoing efforts to obtain increasingly competitive financing rates, higher margins and, in turn, further balance sheet improvements.”
