Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 15, 2020) - SustainCo Inc. (TSXV: SMS) ("SustainCo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement of 2020 Series A secured convertible debentures of the Company (each, a "Debenture"), to raise up to $2,000,000 (the "Offering"). Each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures will be issued 10,000 common share purchase warrants (each, a "Warrant").
The principal amount of the Debentures will be repaid, in cash, by the Company on the third anniversary of issuance ("Maturity") and will carry an interest rate of 12% per year compounded monthly and payable at Maturity. Subject to receipt of shareholder and TSX Venture Exchange approval, the Debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company at $0.05 per share prior to Maturity. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance.
The Debentures will be secured by way of a general security agreement made in favour of a collateral agent acting as agent for all of the holders of the Debentures, granting a security interest in substantially all of the Company's assets. The Company will have the right to prepay any or part of the Debentures at any time prior to the Maturity Date by paying the principal amount of the Debentures.
The Debentures will be subject to a four month statutory hold period commencing on the date of their issuance.
The Company will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Debentures to repay outstanding debt, including to former insiders of the Company, and for general working capital purposes. The closing is anticipated to occur on or about June 30, 2020, and is subject to certain conditions, including receipt of the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
