PrimeGen Energy Closes $12 Million Milestone Financing
23 Junio 2009 - 3:01PM
Business Wire
PrimeGen Energy Corp. (Other OTC:PGNE.PK) ("PrimeGen" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce it has closed a $12 million
private placement financing of Series "B" convertible debentures
(the "Debentures"). The Debentures, which are convertible in
nature, contain a feature that provides the Company with the
ability to make interest and principal payments in cash as opposed
to common stock. Zuckerman & Partners, LLC acted as the
Company's placement agent.
The terms of the funding include the sale of $12,000,000 of
Series B Convertible Debentures that mature 24 months from the date
of issuance. The Debentures pay 10% interest on an annual basis and
are convertible, at the option of the holder, into PrimeGen common
stock at $0.10 per share common share (the "Fixed Conversion
Price"). Approximately, $6,000,000 from the sale of the Debentures
is being released at the closing, and the balance will be released
upon the effectiveness of a registration statement registering
common shares underlying the Debentures.
The Debentures contain an amortization schedule such that
PrimeGen will be required to make payments on the Debentures, equal
to 1/20th of the face value of the Debenture, plus accrued
interest, beginning on the sixth (6th) month after the date of
issuance. As mentioned above, interest and principal payments may
be paid in cash or registered common stock. If PrimeGen elects to
make a payment in registered common stock, the payment amount will
be made in common stock based on a price equal to 80% of the
average of the closing prices for PrimeGen's common stock for the
ten (10) days before a payment is due (the "Market Price"). If
PrimeGen provides notice that it intends to make an interest and
principal payment in cash, the Debenture holders will be forced to
accept cash and surrender the redeemed portion of the respective
Debenture or convert that portion of the Debenture (including
interest) into common stock at the Market Price. It is PrimeGen�s
intention to service the debenture payments in cash, commensurate
with the Company�s production revenues.
The Debenture holders shall be issued three (3) separate
warrants. The Series A Warrant gives the holder the right to
purchase, for two years, 100% of PrimeGen common shares underlying
the Debenture at $.50 per share. The Series B Warrant gives the
holder the right to purchase, for two years from the effective date
of a registration statement, a number of PrimeGen common shares
equal to 50% of the number of common shares underlying the
debenture, at $.35 per share. The Series C Warrant has a 7-year
term and has an exercise price of $.45 per share, but may only be
exercised by a Debenture holder who has exercised an equal number
of Series B Warrants.
PrimeGen has the right to force the Series A warrant holders to
exercise their warrants if PrimeGen's stock price exceeds $.80 per
share. PrimeGen has the right to force the Series B warrant holders
to exercise their warrants if PrimeGen's stock price exceeds $.50
per share. The Debenture holders also are restricted or gated in
terms of the number of shares underlying the Debenture that they
may convert.
Robert Charlton, PrimeGen's President and CEO, stated, "The
Company has made significant progress executing our business plan,
while at the same time achieving substantial common share
appreciation. Our management team believes that this milestone
financing will take us that much further down the road towards
creating and maximizing shareholder value. With the cash from this
financing, the Company can now accelerate its development programs
on our Russian properties, by scheduling a ten (10) well drill
program. We expect to implement this program over the next six
months. In addition, the Company can now expand its current land
holdings and reserves by implementing a more aggressive acquisition
strategy by focusing on more advanced and larger reserve
properties. We look forward to updating our shareholders about our
existing and prospective projects as events unfold during this
exciting time in the oil and gas business."
