/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/
CALGARY, May 29, 2019 /CNW/ - Eguana Technologies Inc. ("Eguana" or the "Company") (TSXV: EGT) (OTCQB:EGTYF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Bayfront Capital Partners Ltd. ("Bayfront" or the "Lead Agent"), to act as sole book-runner and lead agent on behalf of a syndicate of dealers to be named (the "Agents"), pursuant to which the Agents have agreed to offer for sale, on a reasonable commercial efforts basis, up to 3,000 unsecured convertible debentures (the "Debentures") of Eguana at a price of $1,000 per Debenture for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $3 million (the "Debenture Financing").
The Debentures will mature and be repayable on the date that is three (3) years (the "Maturity Date") from the closing date of the Debenture Financing (the "Closing Date"). The Debentures will have a coupon of 10% per annum payable in cash and compounded semi-annually and payable semi-annually or on such earlier date on which the Debentures are converted pursuant to their terms. The Debentures will be repaid in cash on the Maturity Date, subject to earlier conversion as described below. The Debentures will be issued pursuant to debenture certificates issued to each holder to be dated as of the Closing Date.
At any time prior to the Maturity Date, each holder of Debentures will be entitled to convert the principal amount of Debentures into units (each a "Unit" and together, the "Units") of the Company at a price of $0.15 per Unit (the "Conversion Price"). For greater certainty, each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures would convert into 6,666.67 Units. Each Unit shall consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each a "Common Share" and together, the "Common Shares") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") shall enable the holder thereof to acquire an additional Common Share (each a "Warrant Share" and together, the "Warrant Shares") at a price of $0.20 per Warrant Share for a period of three (3) years following the closing date of the Debenture Financing.
Beginning on the date that is four months plus one day following the Closing Date, the Company can require the holders of Debentures to convert Debentures into Units on not less than 30 days' notice in the event that the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") is greater than $0.30 for any 20 consecutive trading days.
Use of proceeds from the Debenture Financing will be allocated to fund working capital and general corporate expenditures of the Company.
The Debentures shall be offered and sold by private placement (i) in Canada to "accredited investors" within the meaning of National Instrument 45-106 and other exempt purchasers in each province of Canada, as agreed upon by the Company and the Agents (as hereinafter defined), and (ii) outside Canada and the United States on a basis which does not require the qualification or registration of any of the Debentures. The Debentures and any Shares and Warrants issuable upon the conversion thereof will be subject to a statutory hold period in Canada of four months and one day after the closing date of the Debenture Financing.
As consideration for its services pursuant to the Debenture Financing, the Agents shall receive a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised pursuant to the Debenture Financing to be paid on the closing date (the "Commission"). The Company shall issue to the Agents, on the closing date of the Debenture Financing, 466.67 compensation warrants (the "Compensation Warrants") for each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures sold pursuant to the Debenture Financing. Each Compensation Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Unit at a price of $0.15 per Unit for a period of three years from the closing date.
