Loyalist Announces Proposed Non-Brokered Financing
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 06/22/15 -- Loyalist Group Limited ("Loyalist" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: LOY) announces a proposed non-brokered financing to raise gross proceeds of a minimum of $2.5 million and a maximum of $8.0 million (the "Offering").
The Offering is expected to be completed in two stages, with the first stage closing on or about June 26, 2015. The first stage closing will be inclusive of a $1.5 million minimum commitment from Company insiders, consisting of directors, officers, management, and employees. The second stage is expected to close on or before July 3, 2015.
"We are communicating additional details surrounding the terms of our proposed non-brokered private placement to all stakeholders inside and outside the Company. We believe a fair and transparent approach is the best path to put Loyalist back on sound footing and rebuild confidence with all parties. We are enthusiastic about the progress we have made thus far, and are energized about the work we have ahead of us. I would like to personally thank all stakeholders for their trust and support through this important period," said Shawn Klerer, Chief Executive Officer.
Under the proposed terms of the Offering, the Corporation will issue up to 800,000 units (the "Units") at a price of C$10.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of C$8,000,000.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used solely to fund the Company's working capital requirements during the expected period of forbearance under the Company's proposed agreement with Bank of Montreal (the "Senior Lender"). No portion of the net proceeds of the Offering will be used to repay any outstanding indebtedness (consisting of loans, credit facilities, and debentures) of the Company, including amounts owing to the Senior Lender.
Each Unit will consist of one preferred share of the Company (a "Preferred Share") and 83.33 Common Share purchase warrants (a "Warrant"). Subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals, the Company currently anticipates that the Preferred Shares and Warrants will include the following terms:
