Insights

Debt conversion concentrates ownership at 39.4% and removes note debt.

The filing shows A. Scott Dockter now beneficially owning 109.48 million PureBase shares, or 39.4% of the common stock. This follows CoreTer’s conversion of $1,013,870.97 of an 8% note into equity at $0.02 per share and share issuance for expense reimbursement.

This transaction eliminates outstanding principal and interest under the note while increasing equity held by Dockter and CoreTer. Ownership concentration may affect governance dynamics because Dockter is also CEO, president, and a director, giving him significant influence under existing voting arrangements.

The ownership percentages are based on 277,968,151 shares outstanding as of April 14, 2026, from the company’s Form 10-Q. Future company filings may provide updates if additional borrowings occur under the $1,000,000 line of credit agreement maturing on February 27, 2027.

beneficially owned financial
"The aggregate total number of shares beneficially owned includes 72,837,839 shares of Common Stock"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
