BOUCHERVILLE, QC, March 22, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Because of the
prevailing market conditions, Noveko International Inc. (TSX: EKO) (the
"Corporation") announces that it ended its private placement of units
at the price of $0.12 per unit. However, the Corporation's Board of
Directors approved a new private placement for a minimum number of
5,333,333 Class A Shares ($320,000) and a maximum number of 8,333,333
Class A Shares ($500,000), at a price of $0.06 per share. It is
expected and was agreed with Third Eye Capital Corporation that the
Corporation's senior executives will subscribe for at least 5,333,333
Class A Shares ($320,000) in connection with this private placement.
This private placement was approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange. The
funds injected from this private placement will fulfill our needs for
working capital until the closing of our $10 to $12 million financing
in the next two to three weeks.
With respect to the transfer of the Corporation's 70% shareholding in
SARL Noveko Algérie that was supposed to initially occur on July 31,
2012 and that was conditional to the repayment of a total amount of
$1,400,000 due by Noveko Algérie to the Corporation, the Corporation
agreed to reduce that amount to $900,000. Up to now the Corporation has
received a total amount of $700,000; the remaining amount of $200,000
is payable no later than March 31, 2013.
Finally, we are pleased that the Toronto Stock Exchange decided to
postpone its decision concerning the review of our Class A Shares
listing for an additional 30 days. The Corporation asserted to the
Exchange that it was crucial that the Corporation had the opportunity
to close its $10 to $12 million financing before a decision is taken by
the Exchange. However, no assurance can be provided that such a closing
would be sufficient to convince the Exchange to maintain our Class A
Shares listing.
