Insights

Olenox converts obligations into equity and adds an experienced director.

Olenox Industries Inc. is using equity to resolve two separate matters with Michael McLaren. It will issue 626,325 restricted common shares to settle a convertible promissory note and 585,000 restricted common shares in exchange for 39,000 Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Shares, with all related claims waived.

These settlements remove specific debt and preferred equity claims while increasing common share count, so the impact on existing holders depends on relative scale to current outstanding shares, which are not detailed here. The use of restricted stock also staggers potential resale.

The appointment of Ambassador Paula J. Dobriansky adds high-profile foreign policy and regulatory experience to the board, compensated under an existing program that includes an annual $40,000 cash retainer, $10,000 per committee chair, and an equity grant of about $50,000 in restricted stock units, with a pro-rated grant for her 2026 start.
