Canadian Timely Disclosure Pack – For Release May 22, 2013
BluMetric Environmental Inc. (TSX-V: BLM; “BluMetric” or the “Company”) announces its intention to complete a brokered private placement offering (the “Offering”) of unsecured convertible debenture units (the “Units”), each Unit comprising a C$1,000 convertible debenture (the “Convertible Debentures”) and one-half common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. The Convertible Debentures are convertible, at the option of the subscriber, at any time prior to the maturity date, into Common Shares of the Company at a conversion price of C$0.60 per Common Share representing a conversion rate of approximately 1,667 Common Shares per C$1,000 in principal amount of the Convertible Debentures. The Convertible Debentures will have a maturity date which is three years from the Closing, and will bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum, calculated from date of issue, semi-annually in arrears and compounded annually.
Jacob Securities Inc. will be acting as sole agent and book-runner on the Offering.
The Offering will be made only to accredited investors, and is expected to raise minimum gross proceeds of C$1,000,000 up to a maximum of C$2,000,000. In addition, the Company has granted the agent an over-allotment option under the same terms and conditions of the Offering to raise additional gross proceeds of C$500,000, exercisable at any time, in whole or part, prior to the closing of the Offering (the “Closing”).
Under the terms of the Offering, the Company will offer for sale a minimum of 1,000 Units up to a maximum of 2,000 Units. Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company (the “Common Shares”) at an exercise price of C$0.75 per Common Share for a period of two years from the Closing. The Company will have the option to pay the first year’s interest payments in cash or common shares of the Company based on the 20-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”), which will not be lower than the Discounted Market Price of the common shares of the Company (as defined in the TSX Venture Manual), at the time of payment (the “Interest Pricing”). In subsequent years, and as determined no later than 12 months from the Closing Date, subscribers will have the option to receive payment of interest, in cash or Common Shares of the Company based on Interest Pricing as described above.
The Common Shares underlying the Convertible Debentures and the Warrants will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of Closing and in respect of the interest payments a four-month hold period from the date of conversion, if any.
Proceeds from the private placement will be utilized to finance new order pipeline and completion of existing contracts, facility leasehold improvements, debt repayment and corporate and general working capital.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities in any jurisdiction.
