TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 08/27/10 -- CROWFLIGHT MINERALS INC. ('Crowflight' or the 'Company') (TSX: CML) today announces a private placement financing in the form of a convertible debenture (the 'Convertible Debenture') issued to King Place Enterprises Limited ('King Place') in the principal amount of Cdn$10,050,000.
The Convertible Debenture shall mature on the date that is six months from the date of issue. Amounts owing under the Convertible Debenture shall be unsecured and interest shall accrue at a rate of 10% per annum, compounded annually. The holder shall be entitled to convert amounts owing under the Convertible Debenture until it is repaid in full, into common shares of Crowflight at a price equal to the five-day VWAP at the time of conversion less the maximum discount allowed under Toronto Stock Exchange regulations. However, King Place may not convert any portion of the amounts outstanding hereunder in excess of the amount that would result in the obligation to issue an aggregate number of shares exceeding 58,356,471 Common Shares without prior approval of disinterested shareholders. Crowflight will seek disinterested shareholders' approval for the conversion term at the next shareholders meeting of the Company and will recommend approval of the conversion terms.
King Place, who is purchasing the Convertible Debenture, is currently the largest shareholder of Crowflight. Kingplace owns and controls a total of 247,029,971 common shares and 50,588,235 warrants of Crowflight prior to this private placement, or 42.5% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Crowflight on a non-diluted basis. In addition, Crowflight and King Place have agreed to appoint a representative of King Place to the Crowflight Board of Directors.
Crowflight has previously issued and sold a non-convertible debenture in the principal amount of $5,050,000 to King Place (see press release of August 9, 2010), which will be cancelled and replaced by the Convertible Debenture.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the financing for the continued ramp up of the Bucko Lake mine in the Thompson Nickel Belt, Manitoba and for general corporate and working capital purposes.
