Crystallex Announces Proposed Private Placement to Raise Up to US$120 Million

11.10.2011  |  Marketwired
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire - Oct. 11, 2011) - Crystallex International Corporation (TSX:KRY) (OTCQB:CRYXF) ("Crystallex" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that a wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Issuer") proposes to complete a best efforts private placement offering (the "Offering") of up to 120,000 units (the "Units") at a price of US$1,000 per Unit for aggregate proceeds of up to US$120 million. Each Unit will consist of one face value US$1,000 principal amount senior secured note (the "Notes") bearing simple interest at a rate per annum to be determined payable on maturity or redemption and one contingent value right (the "CVRs"). The initial maturity date of the Notes will be five years following the date of issue, subject to extension in certain circumstances. The obligations under the Notes and CVRs will be secured by the Issuer and guaranteed by the Company. Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., GMP Securities L.P. and Byron Capital Markets Ltd. are acting as co-lead agents for the Offering.

The CVRs will be a contractual right to receive one or more payments, each of which is contingent upon receipt of funds (a "CVR Payment Event") by Crystallex pursuant to either an award or settlement (in each case, an "Award or Settlement") in respect to the arbitration between Crystallex and the government of Venezuela relating to the Las Cristinas gold project in Venezuela (the "Arbitration"). Each CVR will represent a right to receive a pro rata interest in a cash payment (a "CVR Payment") equal to a percentage (to be determined) of the applicable Award or Settlement, after deducting certain costs and expenses including applicable taxes, costs relating to the Arbitration and an amount equal to the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued interest. If a CVR Payment Event occurs prior to the date that is five years following the date of issue of the Units, the Notes will be cash collateralized and accrued interest will then be due and payable to the holders of the Notes to the extent of the available cash. Immediately following the cash collateralization of the Notes and the payment of all accrued interest thereon, the interest rate per annum on the Notes will be reduced to equal the yield earned on the cash collateral. On payment in full of all required CVR Payments, the Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The net aggregate proceeds of the Offering will principally be used (i) to repay in full the US$100 million principal amount outstanding with respect to Crystallex's 9.375% senior unsecured notes due December 23, 2011 and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; and (ii) for certain general and corporate purposes of the Company and the Issuer.

The completion of the Offering is subject to, among other things, the receipt of all regulatory approvals and consents as are necessary or appropriate in the circumstances prior to the closing of the Offering and the entering into of a formal agency agreement among Crystallex, the Issuer and the agents. Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about October 28, 2011, or such later date as agreed among the parties.

The securities offered have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration thereunder or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. This Press Release is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States.
