SIRONA BIOCHEM ANNOUNCES DEBENTURE FINANCING
Sirona Biochem Corp. has arranged a non-brokered private placement offering of unsecured, convertible debentures. The convertible debentures will be offered in units at a price of $1,000 per debenture unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $400,000. The company plans to use the proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes.
Each debenture unit will have a face value of $1,120, consisting of $1,000 in principal and $120 in prepaid interest. The principal of the debenture units will accrue interest at a rate of 12 per cent per annum and such accrued interest will be paid semi-annually in arrears. At the election of the company, prepaid interest and accrued interest may be paid in cash or converted into shares at a conversion price equal to the maximum discounted market price (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) based on the closing price of the shares on the date immediately preceding the interest payment due date.
The holder may, at its option, convert in full or in part, the principal at any time prior to the maturity date, being the third anniversary of the issue date, into units of the company at 10 cents per unit. Upon conversion of the principal, prepaid interest and unpaid accrued interest will be, at the election of the company, either paid in cash or converted into shares at the interest conversion price.
Each unit will consist of one share and one non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each warrant will be exercisable by the holder thereof to purchase one share at an exercise price of 15 cents at any time prior to the maturity date.
The company shall have the right to redeem the convertible debentures prior to the maturity date at any time after six months from the issue date, by paying holders in cash the face value of the convertible debentures, together with all prepaid and accrued interest, and a redemption penalty payment of 8 per cent of the face value. The company shall give the holders 30 business days of notice to do so. On receipt of a redemption notice, a holder may, at its option, convert all or part of the principal of the convertible debenture into units at the conversion price. All prepaid and accrued interest in respect of the principal amount so converted shall be, at the election of the holder, either paid in cash or converted into shares at the interest conversion price, by giving the company notice within 10 business days of receipt of the redemption notice.
The closing of the offering is subject to the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX-V. The convertible debentures, shares, warrants and any warrant shares will be subject to a four-month hold period under applicable securities laws and TSX-V policies.
The company may pay eligible finders a fee in connection with the offering.
One or more related parties of the company may acquire debenture units under the offering. Such participation will be considered to be related party transactions within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The company intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 in respect of related party participation in the offering as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, will exceed 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization.
