Melior Executes Amendment to Loan Facility
June 07 2019 - 7:47AM
Melior Resources Inc. (TSXV: “MLR”) (“Melior” or the “Company”)
today confirms that it has signed and closed an amendment to the
loan agreement entered into between Melior and Pala Investments
Limited (“Pala”) dated August 9, 2018 as amended on November 16,
2018 and February 4, 2019 to, among other things, increase the
principal amount of the loan facility by US$2,500,000 to
approximately US$21,000,000 (the “Third Amended Agreement”). In
addition, Pala has the right to convert the principal amount of
US$15,747,473.45 (the “Principal Amount”) and any interest and fees
accrued under the loan facility (the “Interest and Fee Amount”),
each at the conversion prices set out in the Third Amended
Agreement. In connection with the signing of the Third Amended
Agreement, Pala was issued 171,807 common shares in the capital of
Melior (the “Arrangement Fee Shares”) in settlement of a US$50,000
arrangement fee payable by Melior to Pala. The Arrangement
Fee Shares are subject to a four-month hold period in accordance
with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and applicable
securities laws.
Additional details of the Third Amended
Agreement were summarized in the Company’s news release dated June
6, 2019.
Prior to entering into the Third Amended
Agreement, Pala owned or controlled, directly or indirectly,
13,960,736 common shares in the capital of Melior (“Melior
Shares”), representing 46.96% of the issued and outstanding Melior
Shares, based on 29,729,963 Melior Shares issued and outstanding.
Based on the Principal Amount and an Interest and Fee Amount of
US$5,153,188.20 outstanding under the loan facility as of the date
hereof and assuming (i) an exchange rate of C$1.3378 for each
US$1.00 (the Bank of Canada rate for June 6, 2019) and (ii) using a
conversion price of C$0.39 per Melior Share in respect of the
conversion of the Principal Amount and C$0.35 per Melior Share (the
five day volume-weighted average price of Melior Shares (on days
that trading of Melior Shares occurred on the TSX Venture
Exchange)) in respect of the Interest and Fee Amount, the loan
facility would be convertible into a total of 73,714,828 Melior
Shares. Following such conversion and the acquisition of the
Arrangement Fee Shares, Pala would hold 87,847,371 Melior Shares,
representing a security holding percentage of 84.78%, an increase
of 37.82%.
