EmberClear Corp. Announces $2 Million Brokered Private Placement
/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES./
CALGARY, July 7, 2014 /CNW/ - EmberClear Corp. (TSXV: EMB) ("EmberClear") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with Wolverton Securities Ltd. ("Wolverton") pursuant to which EmberClear will offer for sale on a private placement basis 2,000 units ("Units") at a price of $1,000 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $2 million (the "Private Placement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, Wolverton has agreed to act as EmberClear's agent under the Private Placement and solicit, on a "commercially reasonable efforts" basis, subscriptions for the Units. Each Unit will be comprised of $1,000 aggregate principal amount of 12% unsecured debentures ("Debentures") of EmberClear and 1,000 common share purchase warrants ("Warrants"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share ("Common Share") at a price of $0.20 for a period of three years from the closing date of the Private Placement.
The Debentures will be junior in right of repayment to the existing 12% senior unsecured convertible debentures of EmberClear, but senior to all other indebtedness of EmberClear. The Debentures will bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing December 31, 2014, and will mature 18 months from the date of closing of the Private Placement. The Debentures will also be redeemable by EmberClear, in whole or in part, from time to time, on not more than 60 days and not less than 15 days prior notice at a redemption price equal to 103% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to but excluding the date set for redemption.
EmberClear intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement for general corporate purposes. The Private Placement is scheduled to close on or about July 30, 2014 and is subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").
The Debentures and the Warrants comprising the Units, and the Common Shares underlying the Warrants, will be subject to a four month statutory hold period expiring four months and a day from the closing date of the Private Placement.
EmberClear has also granted Wolverton an option to solicit subscriptions for up to an additional 15% of the number of Units sold pursuant to the Private Placement.
In consideration for acting as agent under the Private Placement, EmberClear has agreed to pay Wolverton a corporate finance fee, a marketing commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds raised under the Private Placement, and to issue to Wolverton a non-transferrable broker warrant entitling it to acquire up to 1,000,0000 Common Shares at a price of $0.20 per share for a period of three years from the closing date of the Private Placement.
The Units will be offered for sale by way of private placement to accredited investors under applicable securities laws in each of the Provinces of Canada (other than Quebec) and in such other jurisdictions and pursuant to such other prospectus exemptions as Wolverton and EmberClear may agree to. The securities described herein have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States unless registered under the Act or unless an exemption from registration is available.
