Additional convertible financing

The company has issued an additional $8.0-million senior secured convertible debenture to certain subsidiaries of Delbrook Capital Advisors Inc. Delbrook Capital is one of the largest holders of common stock of the company.

The Delbrook debenture financing will be issued in two tranches: (i) $3.0-million financed as of the date hereof; and (ii) $5.0-million to be financed in the coming days subject to conditions precedent regarding registering Mexican security and confirmatory due diligence. The Delbrook debenture bears interest at a rate of 11 per cent per annum and has a maturity date of July 1, 2024, that can be extended by mutual consent to April 28, 2025. The principal amount outstanding under the Delbrook debenture is convertible in certain instances at the holder's option (subject to Toronto Stock Exchange approval) into common shares of Americas at a conversion price of 80 cents per share. The company's existing debentures have a current outstanding principal amount of $16.3-million and will be amended with the same terms as the Delbrook debenture. The Delbrook debenture and the existing debentures are secured by the company's interest in the Galena complex and by the shares of one of the company's Mexican subsidiaries.

As part of the agreement, the company has also agreed to issue 3.5 million share purchase warrants with an exercise price of 80 cents per common share and a term of three years to Delbrook Capital.

In addition, in support of the financing, certain members of the company's board and management have agreed to participate in a private placement for common shares of the company for an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000.

The proceeds are being raised to finalize construction of the Galena hoist and for general working capital purposes.
