TORONTO, May 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CF Energy Corp. (TSX-V: CFY) (“CF Energy” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), a leading new energy service provider in the People’s Republic of China (the ”PRC” or “China”) is pleased to announce that the Company has completed a non-brokered private placement of unsecured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000 CAD (the “Convertible Debenture”). The Convertible Debentures have a term of two years ending on May 19, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”) with 7% interest per annum to be paid semi-annually, with an option of the holders of the debenture (the “Debenture Holders”) to convert the principal amount outstanding under the Convertible Debenture into common shares of the Company (“Shares”) at a conversion price of $0.66 CAD (the “Conversion Price”) per Share. Under the terms of the Convertible Debenture, the Company has the right to require the Debenture Holders to convert all principal amounts outstanding under the Convertible Debenture at the Conversion Price if, for any fifteen (15) consecutive trading days prior to the Maturity Date, the daily volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Shares on the Toronto Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) equals or exceeds $0.85 per Share. The holders of the Convertible Debentures are Oakwest Capital and Oak Hill Financial .
The proceeds of the Convertible Debentures will be used as general working capital and to support the Company’s new energy business development.
“We have followed the situation from the early days in the natural gas distribution business and are supporters of the new initiatives in renewable energy and replacement batteries for electric vehicles. Having visited some of the Company’s sites in the past we are encouraged by CF Energy’s development and persistence since the Company went public. The team has proven to be good managers and have shown financial discipline to find new ventures in their sector,” said Elliot Beutel from Oakwest Capital.
“Oakwest Capital, as a Canadian value-based investor, has been known to us for many years. We believe Oakwest’s philosophy in investment will support CF Energy’s long-term development initiatives in the electrical vehicle battery swap station business. This business is booming in China, especially in this year after the China Central Government puts out its latest target of carbon neutralization for 2060. While this brings us huge development opportunities going forward, there are risks associated with such investment, we will continue to evaluate closely and adopt a balanced approach in our investment in this sector and strictly adhere to our financial principles to mitigate such risks. We hope to see that having a strategic partnership with Oakwest will raise the Company’s profile, put us more on the radar screen and reach out to more investors,” Ann Lin, the Chair and CEO of the Company stated.
