Peruvian Precious Metals Corporation Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement of Units, Cancelation or Previously Announced Financing
Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder, on exercise thereof, to purchase one additional Common Share at a price of $0.18 for a period of 24 months from the completion of the private placement, provided that if the daily volume weighted average price for twenty (20) consecutive days of trading of the Company's shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (or such other stock exchange on which shares of the Company are listed) exceeds $0.24 per share, the Company will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice to the holders of the Warrants that the Warrants will expire on the date that is not less than thirty (30) calendar days from the date notice is given.
The private placement is subject to all necessary regulatory approvals including acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued under the private placement will be subject to a four-month hold period from the closing date under applicable Canadian securities laws, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws of jurisdictions outside Canada. Certain insiders of the Company may acquire securities under the private placement. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the private placement for general working capital purposes.
The Company may pay a finder's fee in connection with the private placement of 7 per cent in Units under the same terms or the offering, with respect to certain private placement subscribers and in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company also announces that it will not proceed with its previously announced private placement of convertible debentures in the principal amount of $5,814,008.14. For further details of the private placement, please refer to the Company’s news release dated February 19, 2014.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, unless an exemption from such registration is available.

However, the forward-looking statements in this release are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause future results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Such uncertainties and risks are detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the appropriate securities commissions, and may include, among others, that the private placement will not complete, market conditions, and delays in obtaining or failure to obtain required regulatory approvals or financing. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.
