Stockport Arranges Convertible Note Financing for its Pilot Gold Recovery Circuit in Kenya

HALIFAX, Feb. 25, 2015 /CNW/ - Stockport Exploration Inc. (TSX: SPT) ("Stockport" or the "Company") has arranged a $295,000 bridge loan financing (the "Loans") from various directors, and other private investors of the Company, by the issuance of 12% unsecured convertible notes (the "Notes").  The net proceeds of the Loans will be used for capital expenditures and working capital requirements for the Company's pilot gold recovery circuit in Kenya.  Under the terms of the financing, the principal amount of the Loans will bear interest at 12% per annum, payable quarterly commencing August 25, 2015, and will be repayable by the Company on or before February 25, 2018 (the "Maturity Date"). 

The Company expects to repay the Loans and accrued interest from the projected cash flow from its gold recovery circuit, currently in development.  The principal amount of the Notes are convertible into common shares of the Company (the "Shares") at the election of the holder at the rate of $0.05 of principal converted per Share (the "Conversion Price").

If the Loans are not repaid within three days of the Maturity Date, the Notes will be automatically converted into Shares.  In this event, the principal amount of the Notes will be converted into Shares at the Conversion Price, and any accrued but unpaid interest will be converted into Shares at the 5-day VWAP preceding the date of conversion.
