18.06.2014  |  CNW

-Gross proceeds to the Corporation of up to $7.5 million

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

MONTREAL, June 18, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Argex Titanium Inc. (TSX: RGX) ("Argex" or the "Corporation") announces that it intends to complete a private placement of $1,000 principal amount of unsecured convertible debentures (the "Debentures") for gross proceeds to Argex of up to $7.5 million (the "Private Placement") and has retained Euro Pacific Canada Inc. (the "Agent") as the lead agent and sole bookrunner for the Private Placement.

The Private Placement is expected to close on or about June 26, 2014, subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. The Debentures and the underlying Common Shares will be subject to a four-month plus one day statutory hold period.

Roy Bonnell, President and CEO of Argex, commented, "As our shareholders are aware, we are in the process of arranging financing for our first industrial-sized commercial production facility to be located in Valleyfield, Quebec where significant technical, legal and financial due diligence costs will be incurred. The completion of the Private Placement provides Argex the financial flexibility required in order to pursue the financing of this project in an efficient and timely manner."

The Debentures will carry interest at a rate of 8% per annum payable quarterly in arrears starting on September 30, 2014 and thereafter at the end of each quarter and on the maturity date, which is June 30, 2019 (the "Maturity Date"). The Debentures are convertible, at the option of the debenture holder, into common shares of the Corporation ("Common Shares") until the Maturity Date at a price of $1.14 per Common Share (the "Conversion Price") representing a conversion rate of approximately 877 Common Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures.

The Corporation will use its best efforts to list the Debentures on the Toronto Stock Exchange following the closing of the Private Placement.

The proceeds of this Private Placement of Debentures will be used for the due diligence costs associated with the Corporation's financing of its first industrial-sized commercial production facility to be located in Valleyfield, Quebec and for general working capital purposes.

The Corporation anticipates that certain "related parties" of the Corporation will participate in the Private Placement. The participation in the Private Placement of such "related parties" will constitute a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (Regulation 61-101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions in Quebec) ("MI 61-101"). The Private Placement will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of securities being issued to the related parties nor the consideration being paid by related parties will exceed 25% of the Corporation's market capitalization.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the "United States", as such term is defined in Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"). The securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration requirements is available.
