VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 3, 2025 /CNW/ – Euromax Resources Ltd. (TSXV: EOX): (“Euromax” or the “Company”), announces that further to its news release dated January 14, 2025, it has today completed the issuance of 23,698,977 common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”) to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (“EBRD”) pursuant to the debt settlement agreement entered into between the Company and EBRD on January 14, 2025 (the “DSA”).  Each Common Share was issued at a deemed offering price of C$0.015 per Common Share (collectively, the “Transaction”).  Pursuant to the DSA, the Company agreed to issue the Common Shares in order to repay C$355,484.65 to EBRD, representing a portion of the accrued finance delay interest owing to the EBRD under the convertible debenture issued by the Company to EBRD in principal amount of USD$5 million, as amended (the “Debenture”).

The Common Shares issued pursuant to the Transaction will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance, expiring on June 1, 2025 in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) and applicable securities laws.

The Transaction is not expected to materially affect control of the Company.  As EBRD is a related party of Euromax, in completing the Transaction, the Company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of Policy 5.9 of the TSXV and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) in respect of related party transactions contained in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively.

The Company will file a material change report in respect of the Private Placement within the timeline prescribed by applicable securities laws.  The Company did not issue a material change report more than 21 days before the closing of the Private Placement because the transaction was under consideration by the TSXV and closing was conditional on receipt of TSXV approval.

Prior to completion of the Transaction, EBRD owned 35,661,446 common shares and was beneficially entitled to own and control an additional 114,738,989 common shares by converting all amounts owing to it under the Debenture as at 30 November, 2024 (assuming a conversion price of C$0.15 per common share and an exchange rate of US$1 = C$1.40013) and an additional 12,292,899 common shares by exercising all of its warrants of the Company (each warrant exercisable for one common share), for an aggregate beneficial ownership of common shares of 162,693,334 representing an aggregate ownership interest of approximately 19.98% (on a post-conversion and post-exercise basis and excluding any exercise by any other securityholders of the Company of convertible or exchangeable securities owned by them).

Following completion of the Transaction, including the common shares of the Company that it currently owns, EBRD is entitled to beneficially own and control 183,942,035 common shares for an aggregate ownership interest of 22.01% (on a post-conversion and post-exercise basis) of the issued and outstanding common shares, representing an increase in beneficial ownership of 2.03% (on a post-conversion and post-exercise basis and excluding any exercise by any other securityholders of the Company of convertible or exchangeable securities owned by them) of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.

The Transaction was agreed in furtherance to a private placement which closed on November 13, 2024 (the “Previous Placement”), in order to maintain EBRD’s ownership interest (on a fully diluted basis) at or about the same level as prevailed prior to completion of that Previous Placement, and in accordance with the call right available to EBRD under the Debenture.  Depending on market conditions and other factors, EBRD may from time to time acquire and/or dispose of securities of the Company or continue to hold its current position.

As AI Speeds Up Marketing, Louisville’s RedTag Bets on Strategy

Independent agency unveils new brand and website, and co-hosts Louisville’s PROOF AI Workshop

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RedTag, an independent Louisville-based marketing agency, this month unveiled new positioning, marking its evolution from a digital performance agency into a strategy-first marketing partner. The move comes as AI makes execution faster than ever, and RedTag is betting that strategy, not speed, is what will set businesses apart. Clients can now choose from outcome-based programs that best fit their marketing needs. 

“Clients don’t come to us needing more tactics. They come to us needing a path,” said Russ Renbarger, founder and CEO of RedTag. “Our new brand says out loud what our work has shown for years: We start with strategy and build everything on that foundation.”

RedTag built its reputation on high-performing paid digital campaigns. Over the years, the agency expanded into strategy, creative, video production and website development, giving clients one partner for the full scope of their marketing. Most recently, a team of automation specialists has integrated AI across the agency to speed up production and analysis, guided by an internal AI policy that keeps people accountable for quality. The time AI saves goes back into strategy: knowing what to say, who to say it to and why.

“Our best client relationships have always been partnerships, where we’re in the room when the big decisions get made,” said Alison Conway, chief client officer at RedTag. “This evolution is about bringing that strategic partnership to every client.”

On Oct. 14, RedTag co-hosted the PROOF AI Workshop with Slingshot, Vsimple and Advanced Business Solutions. The hands-on event gave Louisville business leaders practical experience applying AI to their own work. RedTag led the event’s AI in Marketing and Branding track, with four sessions ranging from AI search optimization to a playbook for adopting AI across an organization.

“AI can produce hundreds of ads in an afternoon, but it can’t tell you which one your brand actually needs and why,” Renbarger said. “The faster the tools get, the more valuable human-led strategy becomes.”

RedTag was named the agency of record for the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 2025. Its client list includes PGA of America, Castle & Key Distillery, Bourbon Barrel Foods, ShopCaterpillar and American Beverage Marketers. Since 2023, RedTag’s work has received two Emmy Awards and more than 35 ADDY and AIGA awards. The agency is a four-time Louisville Business First Fast 50 honoree and was named one of the 2026 Best Places to Work in Kentucky.

Mortgage professionals can learn more and access the platform at nambhasmore.org. Access to MORE will be free through NAMB Focus, January 7–9, 2027. Users must have a NAMB member profile to access the learning management system.

“NAMB MORE represents a significant investment in the future of mortgage professionals and the continued advancement of our industry,” said Michael Farrell, President of NAMB. “We wanted to create more than a collection of courses; we wanted to build a resource that professionals can turn to throughout their careers. NAMB MORE delivers valuable education, professional development and practical information members can apply to their businesses daily. ‘NAMB has MORE’ is a mantra the entire organization embraces, reflecting our commitment to providing the industry with innovative tools that support professional growth, strengthen advocacy and help foster our members’ success. “MORE was developed with the mortgage industry in mind, with NAMB and subject-matter experts contributing to the platform’s educational content.”

The platform is designed to support mortgage professionals from their first year in the business through experienced production, management and leadership roles.

Additional learning resources and credentials are designed to help mortgage professionals continue developing their skills as their careers evolve.

A key component of the new platform is the MORE Daily Dashboard, which serves as the home screen members see when they log into MORE. Rather than requiring members to visit the platform only when completing a course or pursuing a credential, the Daily Dashboard is designed to give mortgage professionals a reason to return every day.

The Daily Dashboard currently features:

Mortgage Rate Alert Widget: Provides information about the factors affecting mortgage rates and refreshes at least hourly.Upcoming Events: Highlights NAMB events and opportunities so members can stay connected to the association and industry.Daily Access to MORE: Provides a central starting point for accessing education, professional development and other resources.

“The Daily Dashboard is an important part of what makes MORE different,” added Farrell. “We want MORE to become part of a mortgage professional’s daily routine. Whether someone is checking the latest rate information, looking for an upcoming NAMB event or continuing their professional education, MORE puts useful resources in one place.”
