EmberClear Corp. (TSX VENTURE:EMB) (“EmberClear“) is pleased to announce that pursuant to its previously announced brokered private placement of units (the “Offering“), it has closed an initial tranche of 2,000 units (“Units“) for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,000,000. Each Unit is comprised of $1,000 aggregate principal amount of 12% unsecured debentures (“Debentures“) of EmberClear and 1,000 common share purchase warrants (“Warrants“). Wolverton Securities Ltd. (“Wolverton“) acted as agent in respect of the Offering.
The Debentures are junior in right of repayment to the existing 12% senior unsecured convertible debentures of EmberClear, but senior to all other indebtedness of EmberClear. The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing December 31, 2014, and will mature 18 months from the date of closing of the Offering. The Debentures will also be redeemable by EmberClear, in whole or in part, from time to time, on not more than 60 days and not less than 15 days prior notice at a redemption price equal to 103% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to but excluding the date set for redemption. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.20 for a period of three years from the date of issuance.
EmberClear intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for general corporate purposes.
As consideration for services rendered in connection with the Offering, EmberClear also granted to Wolverton 1,000,000 Warrants and a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering.
The Debentures and the Warrants comprising the Units, and the Common Shares underlying the Warrants, are subject to a four month statutory hold period expiring December 7, 2014.
The securities described herein have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act“), as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States unless registered under the Act or unless an exemption from registration is available.
