The debentures are convertible into units with a deemed value of $3.00 per unit at the holder's option at any time prior to payment in cash. The debentures mature on April 24, 2026, and bear interest at 5 per cent per annum, accruing daily, compounding annually on the date on which the first debenture of the Series CD-2023 debentures is issued and payable on each anniversary of the date of first issuance and at the maturity date or conversion, such payment to be made either (i) at the company's option, by payment in cash (other than in the event of a conversion) or (ii) by the issuance of units at a deemed value of $3.00 per unit. Each unit will comprise one KWG.A multiple voting share and one share purchase warrant enabling its holder to acquire one further KWG.A multiple voting share from treasury upon payment of $3.00 exercisable at any time on or before the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the maturity date or (ii) two business days after completion of a takeover bid or a merger, amalgamation, arrangement or other form of business combination as a result of which the shareholders of the company immediately prior to such bid or business combination do not own a majority of votes attaching to the voting securities of the company or of the resulting issuer or do not have the power to elect a majority of the directors of the company or of the resulting issuer, as the case may be, after completion of such bid or business combination.
The corporation paid a finder's fee of 5 per cent of the aggregate of debentures sourced by finders payable in units at deemed price of $3.00 per unit.
The proceeds received by the corporation from the sale of the debentures will be used for the costs and fees associated with the private placement, for general corporate overhead expenses including paying current debts and liabilities and for payment of exploration and other operating expenses.
All of the securities to be issued pursuant to this tranche of the private placement are subject to a four-month hold period.
