Spark Power Announces $20 Million Bought Deal Public Offering of Convertible Debentures
February 18 2021 - 3:47PM
Spark Power Group Inc. ("Spark Power" or the "Company") (TSX: SPG)
is pleased to announce that it has entered into a $20 million
bought-deal financing (the "Convertible Debenture Financing") of
convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the "Debentures")
with a syndicate of underwriters (the "Underwriters") led by
Raymond James Ltd. The Debentures will have a coupon of 7.5% per
annum, and a conversion price of $3.05 per Spark Power common share
(a "Common Share"), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
The conversion price represents a conversion premium of
approximately 25%. The Company has granted the Underwriters an
over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional $3 million
aggregate principal amount of Debentures on the same terms,
exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to the 30th day
following the closing of the Convertible Debenture Financing. The
Debentures will mature on March 31, 2026.
The net proceeds from the Convertible Debenture
Financing will be used to provide additional working capital to
support the continued growth of the business.
Except in certain circumstances involving a
“Change of Control”, the Debentures will not be redeemable at the
option of the Company before March 31, 2024. On or after March 31,
2024 and prior to March 31, 2025, the Debentures may be redeemed in
whole or in part at the option of the Company on not more than 60
days and not less than 30 days prior notice at a price equal to
their principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest,
provided that the volume weighted average trading price of the
Shares on the TSX for the 20 consecutive trading days preceding the
date on which the notice of redemption is given is not less than
125% of the Conversion Price. On or after March 31, 2025 and prior
to the Maturity Date or in certain circumstances involving certain
“Change of Control” transactions,, the Debentures may be redeemed
in whole or in part at the option of the Company on not more than
60 days and not less than 30 days prior notice at a price equal to
their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The offering is subject to normal regulatory
approvals, including approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange, and is
expected to close on or about March 11, 2021.
The Debentures will be offered by way of a short
form prospectus in all of the provinces and territories of Canada,
except Quebec, and may also be offered by way of private placement
in the United States. The securities offered have not been
registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration
or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This
press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
