VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SHARC International Systems Inc.
(CSE: SHRC) (FSE: IWIA) (OTCQB: INTWF) ("SHARC" or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into
loan agreements (collectively, the “Loan Agreements”) with certain lenders for a total loan of $1,300,000 (the
“Loan”).
The Loan matures on December 23, 2018 and bears interest at an annual rate of 18%. The Loan is secured against
all present and after acquired of the Company and International Wastewater Heat Exchange Systems Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company.
The Loan will be used to pay eligible construction costs ahead of recovering grant support for the heat
incentive scheme described below. The Company is eligible to receive grant funding up to a maximum of £1.684M.
This funding is for the Clyde Gateway project which is one of a number of projects the Company is undertaking in
the United Kingdom that utilize government subsidies, low interest debt financing and strategic funding partners to build out Heat
Supply Infrastructure for the purposes of supplying heat generated by our SHARC™ units. Once completed, the project(s) will
generate reoccurring heat supply revenues to support the operating costs of the Energy Centres
The Clyde Gateway Project is estimated to complete and begin generating cash flow in late Q1 2019.
In consideration of the lenders entering into the Loan Agreements, the Company issued to the Lenders a total of
3,714,286 common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one
common share of the Company at $0.35 per share for three years from the date of issuance. In the event that following four months
and a day after the closing date, the volume weighted average trading price of the Company's common shares as quoted on the
Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) exceeds $0.80 per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, the
Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice to the holders thereof and in such case the Warrants will
expire on the 30th day after the date of such notice.
The Warrants issued in connection to the Loan will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months
and one day after the date of issuance. In addition, the Warrants are not exercisable if such exercise would result in the holder
acquiring 10% or more of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.
