it has received an additional $1.4 million in proceeds from the
exercise of Warrants
In summary, the total proceeds from the Warrant exercise to date are
$13.4 million, comprised of $10.4 million from the exercise of 100% of
the Second Warrants which expired Jan 28, 2013 and $3.0 million from
the exercise of more than half of the First Warrants, well in advance
of their expiry date of June 2014.
The $8.3 million Debenture which bears interest at a rate of 5% per
annum and expires on June 10, 2016, was convertible at any time 90 days
following the date of issuance at the option of the holder. As of
January 28, 2013, $7.8 million of the Debenture has been voluntarily
converted to shares and the Company received notice that another
approximately $0.2 million will voluntarily convert on January 31,

Warrants for total proceeds of $3.0 million, leaving 944,295 First
Warrants to be exercised. The Warrants and Debenture have previously
been reported in the Company's financial statements and management
discussion and analysis and as a result, the total potential diluted

this Warrant exercise.
"We`re very pleased that so many of our Debenture holders have converted
their Debentures and exercised their associated Warrants," said Eric
Melka, Redline CEO. "The early conversion of the majority of the
Debenture amount into common shares has strengthened our balance sheet
and the exercise of the Warrants has increased our cash position."
"Redline has been delivering very impressive results over the past few
quarters under a very strong management team," said Sebastian van
Berkom, a significant Redline shareholder. "I was happy to continue to
support Redline by converting my Debentures and exercising my Warrants,
and I believe this additional capital will help Redline grow to the
next level."
