Hornet Energy Ltd. Exercises its Right to Convert Outstanding Debenture to Common Shares.
CALGARY, ALBERTA--Hornet Energy Ltd. (the ``Company'') announces that it has exercised its right to convert to common shares the 10% Convertible Debenture (the ``Debenture'') issued to Indeck Energy Services Inc. (``Indeck'') of Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. The effective date of the conversion will be April 12, 2001.
The Debenture, for $1,800,000, was issued on February 29, 2000 under private placement to Indeck, an existing shareholder of the Company. Under the terms of the Debenture, the Company could force its conversion to common shares if, at any time after September 1, 2000, the weighted average price per share for the previous 30 consecutive trading days was greater than 125% of the conversion price of $0.83.
Conversion of the debenture, which was included in the Company's TSE listing statement dated January 12, 2001, has been anticipated in the Company's 2001 forecasts and the 2,168,675 additional shares to be issued have been included in the calculation of all fully diluted per share figures. Annual interest payments of $180,000 under the Debenture will cease upon conversion. Upon conversion of the Debenture, the Company will have 14,556,985 basic (16,002,985 fully diluted) shares outstanding with Indeck owning 16.6% of the basic shares.
