Ecuador Gold and Copper Corp. Announces Additional Debenture Offering of US$490,000

14.01.2015  |  Newsfile

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 14, 2015) - Ecuador Gold & Copper Corp. (TSXV: EGX) (the "Company"), the Company is pleased to announce that it intends to undertake an additional debenture offering (the "Debenture Offering") to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to US$490,000 through the issuance of senior secured convertible debentures (the "Debentures"). Approximately half of the proceeds raised under the Debenture Offering will be used in Ecuador for the Company's Condor Gold Project and as in country working capital, and the other half for payment of the Company's accounts payables to increase its working capital. The Debenture Offering is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and all securities issued under the Debenture Offering will be subject to a statutory four month hold period from the date of issuance.

Each Debenture bears an interest of 12% per annum with the principal amount and interest due and payable on November 28, 2015 (the "Maturity Date") unless converted into units (the "Units") of the Company at a price of C$0.06 per Unit by the Maturity Date. Each Unit will be comprised of one common share and one half common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant a "Warrant") of the Company. Each Warrant entitles the investor to acquire one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of C$0.10 per share for 24 months following the date of issuance.

The sale of Debentures is intended to be made to certain major shareholders of the Company, including Aura International Services Ltd. ("Aura"), in reliance of certain prospectus exemptions. Aura presently owns 129,063,587 common shares of the Company, representing 51.3% ownership. Accordingly, Aura is a control person of the Company under applicable securities laws and is therefore also a related party to the Company. Consequently, the sale of Debentures to Aura is a related party transaction, which is intended to be carried out under exemptions from the requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Under the Debenture Offering, the Company is relying upon exemptions from the formal valuation requirements and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61 101 under sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(b) thereof, respectively. The Company is not aware of any valuation of the Company or its mineral properties. The Company is entitled to rely upon the exemption under section 5.5(b) because it is listed only on the TSX Venture Exchange and not one of the specified markets listed therein. Likewise, the Company is entitled to rely on the exemption under section 5.7(b) because the Debenture Offering is a distribution of securities for cash of not more than $2,500,000. Aura intends to acquire a total of up to US$395,000 under the Debenture Offering, and if Aura were to convert such amount of Debentures as well as the Warrants included in the Units within a year of the date of issuance together with all other convertible debentures and common share purchase warrants of the Company held by Aura, then Aura would hold approximately (assuming an exchange rate of C$1.1958/USD) 176,991,824 common shares of the Company representing approximately 59.1% ownership.
