Plains Creek announces proposed private placement of senior secured convertible debentures
VANCOUVER, Jan. 7, 2013 /CNW/ - Plains Creek Phosphate Corporation ("Plains Creek", the "Company") (TSX‐V: PCP) is pleased to announce that it is planning a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of senior secured convertible debentures (the "Debentures") of the Company to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to $3,000,000.
As currently proposed, the Debentures will have a face value of $1,000, each bearing interest of 10% per annum, fully secured by the assets of the Company. The Debentures will all rank pari passu in priority among each of them and the principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full on or before March 31, 2014. Every $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures will be convertible at any time, at the holder's option: (a) initially, into 10,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share; and (b) in the event of a share consolidation by the Company, at a conversion price per share equal to the greater of (i) the current market price of $0.01 per share times the consolidation ratio, and (ii) the minimum allowable conversion price of $0.10 per share, in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). Security for the Debentures shall become enforceable upon the occurrence of certain events of default, which will include, among other things, if the Company fails to pay the principal amount of the Debentures when they become due and payable.
The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be for property payments on the Company's Farim Phosphate mineral property and for related in-country expenses in Guinea-Bissau and for additional working capital.
The Private Placement is subject to approval by the Exchange.
