/CNW/ - Invesque Inc. (the "Corporation" or
"Invesque") (TSX: IVQ) (TSX: IVQ.U) is pleased to announce
that holders (the "Debentureholders") of its 6.00% 2018
Convertible Debentures due September 30,
2023 (TSX: IVQ.DB.V) (the "Debentures") passed an
extraordinary resolution approving certain amendments to the
Debentures (the "Amendments") at a meeting of
Debentureholders held today (the "Meeting"). The
Amendments to the Debentures will result in:
- INCREASING the underlying interest rate from 6.00% to
8.75%, effective September 30,
2023;
- DECREASING the conversion price from US$10.70 to US$2.75
per share of Invesque;
- EXTENDING the maturity date from September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2026; and
- REDEEMING, on a pro rata basis, US$22,000,000 (representing approximately 46%) of
the principal amount of the Debentures outstanding, plus accrued
and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of the
redemption, which will occur on September
30, 2023.
The Amendments were overwhelmingly approved by approximately
99.9% of the principal amount of the Debentures voted (either in
person at the Meeting or by proxy).
"We are very pleased with the response from Debentureholders who
voted in favor of the amendments and very much appreciate the
continued support of Debentureholders, investors, and stakeholders
throughout this process," said Scott
White, Invesque's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We
have made considerable progress pruning our portfolio over the last
24 months, and believe that we are well equipped to benefit from
the increased demand of seniors housing expected in the coming
years."
It is anticipated that the effective date of the Amendments will
be May 23, 2023, being the date that
Invesque enters into a supplemental trust indenture with the
debenture trustee embodying such Amendments. The supplemental trust
indenture will be available on Invesque's SEDAR profile at
