PyroGenesis (TSX:PYR), a sustainable technology stock, has agreed to a debt-to-equity conversion of $4,941,440 it is owed by HPQ Silicon (TSXV:HPQ) for work performed since Q3 2022 as a service provider, intellectual property developer and project subcontractor.

PyroGenesis is designing, engineering and building a technology for HPQ Silion subsidiary, HPQ Silica Polvere, that converts quartz into fumed silica while meaningfully cutting costs and emissions compared to conventional methods.

The shares and warrants will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance, as per applicable Canadian securities legislation.
