Azarga said earlier this month that US$92,005 in interest was now due and the lenders have agreed to accept 709,751 Azarga shares in lieu of payment.

As part of the acquisition, Azarga also committed to pay the minority shareholders in the acquired company US$80,000.

The minority shareholders agreed to accept 514,283 Azarga shares in lieu of this payment.
