Imperial Metals closes C$30 million sale of convertible debentures

Six-year debentures pay interest at 6%, convert at C$12.00

New York, Aug. 24 – Imperial Metals Corp. said it completed a C$30 million private placement of convertible debentures due 2021.

The debentures pay interest at 6% and convert into common stock at a price of C$12.00 per share. Holders must give at least 61 days’ notice. The conversion premium is a 26.85% over the volume-weighted average trading price of the company’s stock for the five days ending on July 16.

Imperial Metals can call the debentures subject to the closing price of its common stock exceeding a 125% hurdle for 30 consecutive days.

N. Murray Edwards bought C$16.2 million of the non-brokered offering, Fairholme Partnership, LP bought C$8.1 million and company directors bought C$1.6 million. The Tahltan Nation, acting through the Tahltan Nation Development Corp., also participated.
