Red Lake Madsen Mine Ltd > Company was not in compliance with its covenants

Company was not in compliance with its covenants

The below is quoted from Sept 2022 quarterly financial filing. Apparently all $134.1M CDN borrowings have been defaulted on including Sprott financial loans. Recovery of losses in the CCAA environment is based on the nature of the loans - secure vs unsecure. Common shre holders are at the bottom of the ladder with preferred shre holders and bond holders being next.

On July 12, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with its lenders, whereby Sprott agreed to:

i) Provide to the Company an additional, secured, first-priority, non-revolving credit facility (“Additional Credit Facility”) up to a maximum principal amount of US$6,000; and
ii) Amend the principal repayment schedule in the existing Credit Facility, whereby the first four scheduled principal payments, each 2.5% of the total principal amount, originally scheduled for the last day of September 2022, December 2022, March 2023, and June 2023, respectively, have been deferred to August 2026.

The Additional Credit Facility matures on December 31, 2022 and accrues interest at a rate of 14% per annum. Drawdowns on the Additional Credit Facility are permitted for payments owing to Sprott, including interest, Gold Stream and PPA payments. As at September 30, 2022, the Company had drawn $6,448 on the Additional Credit Facility.

As a result of the amendment to the principal repayment schedule of the Credit Facility which was accounted for as a modification of debt under IFRS 9, the Company recognized a $5,528 loss to the Company’s statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

As at September 30, 2022, the Company was not in compliance with its covenants, and as such, has classified the entirety of its Credit Facility, Interest Rate Floor derivative and Production Payment Agreement, as current.

I don't like hoping  what's left to do sell shares at 2 cents lol

The biggest issue from a logistics point of view is legal reprresentation for the common share holders who are now creditors? Unless the common share holders form a group and hire a legal firm, each holder will have to submit a claim against the PGM estate. Mr. Sprott and other 10% common share holders will have an easier time filing claims. The lenders and leasing companies will have an easy time ...more

So there's a chance that a common share holder gets some money for there shares?  slim ?  or a good chance in your opinion?  thanks 
Comment by Sherry35 on Jan 06, 2023 11:25am
If the assets sell at auction and the published debts are accurate, the common share holders could see some money. This could take time as the court monitor and executive decide how to carve up the pieces. And, lawyers and court monitor will want to stretech this out to make money. I lived through a very high profile CCAA. I believe the operations in care and maint. which means nobody is going to ...more

Hi Sherry as per your quote here..  'Another option is a major makes an offer to acquire the company through common share purchase at 10 to 35 cents - all debts erased'. Can you provide a path how this might take place as it applies to PGM - ie how would priority of funds received not pass thru Sprott Lending secured debt first? Unless an acquiring company assumes the debt ...more

UptickHedge - I was just spit balling options. But yes, the secured creditors would get paid out first BUT not necessarily at 100 cents on the dollar. All actions have to be approved by the judge including the recent sustained operation loan made by Sprott Lending. Without diving into all the details of the CCAA action, I suspect the CCAA is the information collection and creditor claim phase ...more

Of course there is a chance... If they sell above what is owed. With nearly $3B worth of gold in the ground and a ready to go mine operation, If its sell just to cover debts then you know there was some backroom deals.. With price of gold on an uptrend someone can step in any time with some new financing or a take over. If they could extend the procedings just 3-6 months it could bring a much ...more

MAZZMEX - I like your thoughts on "With current market cap @$14.5 million a buyout by insiders at $.05/share would only represent $37M but would not cost as much since insider already own a sh!tload of shares and they surely loaded way more the last couple months @$.01-.02.". I'm not sure how a market buyout will work with the assets (exploration/mining permits, mill, equipment ...more

 Insiders haven't added anything - and don't believe they even can in this scenario with CCAA? Regardless the last insider purchase was by Mark O in Sept while it was still on the venture.
