Hyduke Energy Services Inc. Announces Closing of Warrant Issuance to TerraNova
NISKU, AB, Dec. 21, 2018 /CNW/ - Hyduke Energy Services Inc. ("Hyduke" or the "Company") (HYD – TSX) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced transaction with TerraNova Partners III LP ("TerraNova") pursuant to which TerraNova has provided a demand secured loan (the "Loan") to Hyduke in the amount of CDN$350,000, with 10% interest per annum, payable monthly in arrears. In connection with the Loan, effective December 19, 2018, Hyduke granted TerraNova 2,920,000 share purchase warrants ("Warrants"). Each Warrant entitles TerraNova to purchase one common share (each a "Common Share") of Hyduke at an exercise price of CDN $0.06/Common Share and will expire 36 months after the later of the repayment in full of the Loan or the issuance of the Warrants. The securities issued in connection with the private placement will be subject to a four month hold period in accordance with Canadian securities laws. The closing of the private placement is subject to final acceptance by the TSX.
The aggregate number of Common Shares held by TerraNova, TerraNova Partners LP and Vortex Enterprises Corp., companies which are all controlled by Vahan Kololian, a Director of Hyduke, remain unchanged at a combined total of 6,638,235 Common Shares, representing 9.496% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares, before giving effect to any outstanding warrants, and will be 13.125% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares assuming the exercise in full by TerraNova of its Warrants. It is noted that Mr. Kololian declared his interest, recused himself from any discussions and negotiations and abstained from voting on this transaction in his capacity as a Director of the Company.
