Northern Vertex Draws Additional US$2.5M Under Working Capital Facility

 

 

 

 

 

Northern Vertex Mining Corp. (TSX-V:NEE) is pleased to announce that it has today drawn down an additional US$2.5 million under its US$10 million convertible loan facility agreement (the “Facility”) with Greenstone Resources II L.P. dated November 5, 2018, as amended, and announced on November 5, 2018. 

 

The Second Advance is evidenced by a non-convertible debenture certificate.  The Debenture is not convertible into common shares of the Company, and the other terms of the Debenture remain unchanged from the terms disclosed in the Company’s press release dated November 5, 2018, as follows:

 

  • maturity date of October 3, 2019, at which time the principal amount is to be repaid in full;
  • interest rate of 12% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears in cash;
  • pre-payable by the Company in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, so long as an event of default has not occurred and is continuing; and
  • mandatory repayment upon the completion by the Company of the silver stream announced in the Company’s press release dated October 15, 2018 (the “Silver Stream”) or an alternative financing in the event that the silver stream does not close.

 

Definitive documentation regarding the Silver Stream is well advanced and the Company will update the market in due course.

 

The Debenture is subject to a four month hold period from the date hereof in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.  The proceeds from the Second Advance will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.  Greenstone is a significant shareholder of the Company holding an aggregate of approximately 28% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on an undiluted basis, and accordingly, the Second Advance is a non-arm’s length transaction under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) and is a related party transaction pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), and therefore certain shareholder approval and valuation requirements would apply to such transactions pursuant to MI 61-101, unless an exemption is available therefrom under the terms of MI 61-101.  The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements in Sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(f) of MI 61-101.  Cash fees of US$75,000 were paid to Greenstone from the proceeds of the Second Advance.

 

The Company also announces that under the terms of the convertible debentures issued under the convertible debenture indenture dated July 14, 2016 between the Company and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, it has elected to satisfy its obligation to pay an aggregate of $167,500 in interest accrued on the convertible debentures by issuing to such debenture holders on the interest payment date of November 30, 2018 an aggregate of 620,395 common shares. The Company will pay to each such debenture holder approximately 9.26 common shares per $100 principal amount of debentures held as at the applicable interest payment record date. Under the terms of the Indenture, no fractional common shares will be delivered upon payment of the interest obligation and the Company is not required to pay the cash equivalent of any amount less than $5.00. The issuance of common shares in payment of interest remains subject to Exchange approval.

 

The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent U.S. federal and state registration or an applicable exemption from the U.S. registration requirements. This release does not constitute an offer for sale of, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, securities in the United States.
