TSX Venture Exchange: VSI
VANCOUVER, Sept. 26, 2012 /CNW/ - VendTek Systems Inc. (TSX-V: VSI) ("VendTek" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement of 860 debenture units (the "Debenture Units"), with each Debenture Unit consisting of one 6% unsecured convertible debenture of the Company having a principal amount of $1,000 (the "Debentures"), and one warrant for each share issuable upon conversion of the Debentures (each, a "Warrant") to purchase one common share of the Company, for a total of 7,818,181 Warrants being issued (the "Private Placement"). The Debentures will each mature on the date that is two years from the closing of the Private Placement and entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.11 per common share on conversion. Each Warrant is exercisable for two years from the closing of the Private Placement to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.15 per common share. Privinvest Offshore SAL (Holding) ("Privinvest Offshore"), the Company's largest shareholder, was the sole subscriber for Debenture Units.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Debenture Units to continue the Company's expansion plans for its Brazilian operations. As the Company's Brazilian subsidiary continues to increase the number of transactions that it processes, it needs to acquire additional inventory and will require greater working capital to support its growth initiatives.
No finder's fee was payable in connection with the issuance of the Debenture Units.
The Private Placement is subject to regulatory approval, and all securities issued in connection with Private Placement will be subject to a four-month and one day hold period under applicable securities laws, which will expire on January 27, 2013.
