Cartier Announces the Closing of a Financing for a Total of $300,000

26.05.2016  |  Marketwired

VAL-D'OR, CANADA--(Marketwired - May 26, 2016) - Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ECR) ("Cartier") announces the closing of a $300,000 financing with Sodémex exploration, the Caisse de dépôt et de placement du Québec ("SODEMEX II S.E.C."), SIDEX Limited Partnership ("SIDEX") and Fonds de solidarité FTQ (the "Fonds") (collectively, the "Subscribers") of the placement of a convertible debenture. The Subscribers have agreed to invest up to $900,000 in three annual tranches of $300,000 each. The financing was completed under Action-Exploration, a financing plan for junior mineral exploration companies in Québec that was announced on November 26, 2015. The plan aims to provide companies with $300,000 in financing per year for a period of three years to support their growth.

Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO of Cartier Resources, stated: "The prolonged downward cycle of metal prices and the mining industry as a whole has eclipsed the progress we have made on the value of Cartier's projects and the high-potential acquisitions we completed during the crisis". He added: "This additional cash supports the company's mission by helping it stay the course to ensure growth and sustainability. It will help us continue to seize the best business opportunities for the benefit of all our shareholders".

Annual investments of $300,000 per year, recurrent for three (3) years.

At the closing of the first tranche, each of the Subscribers will subscribe to a convertible debenture of the Company for the principal amount of $100,000, for gross proceeds of $300,000.

On the first and second anniversaries, provided that certain conditions are met, the Company may require each of the Subscribers to subscribe to convertible debentures in the principal amount of $100,000.

Thus, an additional principal amount of $600,000 may be invested by the Subscribers in annual tranches of $300,000. The Company may not take certain measures without the prior approval of the Subscribers, as long as the debentures have not been redeemed or converted into shares of the Company. Furthermore, for the purposes of this investment, the Company has granted the Subscribers a Gross Revenue Royalty on the Benoist Property of 1.2%. Cartier may buy back this royalty under certain conditions.

Principal terms of the convertible debentures

Each of the convertible debentures is convertible into shares of the Company at the share price plus a 30% premium on the lesser of the following:

  1. the last closing price of the Company's shares before the debenture was issued; or
  1. the volume weighted average price of the Company's shares over the 20-day period preceding the issuance of the debenture.

All of the above are subject to regulatory approvals from the TSX Venture Exchange.

The conversion price of the debentures issued on May 25, 2016, is $0.13.

All debentures, regardless of their issue date, are reimbursable on the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the first tranche of debentures; that is, on May 25, 2021. Each of the debentures bears interest at the prime business rate published by the Bank of Canada, plus a premium of 5.5%.

Interest is payable annually in cash or, at the Company's discretion and under certain conditions, in common shares at a unit price equal to the volume weighted average price of the Company's shares over the 20-day period preceding the payment.
