TheNewswire / January 6, 2016 - New Carolin Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "New Carolin") (TSXV: LAD) is pleased to report the conversion of an additional $407,000 of principal outstanding (secured) debt held by 2011 and 2012 Term Loan holders (the "Lenders") into units (the "Conversion Units") in the capital of the Company at the Lenders' election.
The Company will issue 8,140,000 Conversion Units at a price of $0.05 per Unit, having received notices of conversion from twelve secured Lenders in satisfaction of $407,000 in principal. Each Conversion Unit issued consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, each Warrant exercisable to acquire one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.05 per share until the Term Loan maturity date of December 31, 2016. Per contract, secured Lenders can convert principal amounts of their loans to the Company into units at a conversion price of $0.05 per unit until December 31, 2015 and thereafter at a price of $0.10 per unit until Maturity, as previously reported in a news release issued February 11, 2015. There is now only $25,000 of principal remaining on the Term Loans from an original principal amount of $615,000.
Additionally, in connection with the Term Loans, the Company will make a shares-for-debt application to the TSX Venture Exchange to issue 566,216 common shares at a price of $0.05 per share to these Term Loan holders for interest payable in the amount of $28,311 to December 31, 2015. Shares issued in association with the interest payments will be subject to a four-month plus one day hold period from their date of issuance.
Robert Thast stated, "The Company is very pleased that so many of the secured debt holders have elected to convert to equity. This is a vote of confidence in management's ability to continue to execute its business plans and improve share value going forward. The conversion of this debt also improves the balance sheet and the Company will endeavor to extinguish and or eliminate remaining debt in 2016".
