VANCOUVER, March 7, 2014 /CNW/ - Legend Power Systems Inc. (TSX-V: LPS) is pleased to announce the adoption of an incentive program to encourage the early exercise of its outstanding warrants which are exercisable to purchase 8,185,165 shares for $0.15 per share until October 18, 2016 (the "Original Warrants").
To encourage the early exercise of the Original Warrants, the Company has amended the terms of the Original Warrants such that each holder who exercises Original Warrants before March 31, 2014 (the "Deadline") shall receive an additional non-transferable share purchase warrant (an "Additional Warrant"). Each Additional Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of Cdn $0.30 until October 18, 2016. If a holder does not exercise the Original Warrants before the Deadline (or only partially exercises them), the Original Warrants (or the portion not exercised) shall continue to be exercisable to purchase only common shares of the Company on their original terms.
The common shares issuable upon the exercise of the Additional Warrants will be subject to a four month restricted resale period. The proceeds from the early exercise of the Original Warrants will be used for general working capital purposes.
One director and officer of the Company owns an aggregate of 450,000 Original Warrants. His participation in the incentive program and issuance of Additional Warrants constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions and TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. However, the warrant incentive program is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of both, as neither the fair market value of the Additional Warrants to be issued to, nor the consideration paid by, such director and officer exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
The incentive program is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
