By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 28 - Resverlogix Corp. said it arranged a C$25 million loan agreement with Citibank, NA. The loan is secured by an irrevocable C$25 million standby letter of credit arranged by Eastern Capital Ltd.

The loan is due Aug. 24, 2017. It may be prepaid after Aug. 23, 2013. The loan carries a 4.5% coupon in the first year and an interest rate equal to the one-year Libor plus 314 basis points after the first year.

Eastern also received warrants for 1.32 million shares and a 0.03% guarantee fee on the letter of credit. The warrants are each exercisable at C$1.58 until Aug. 27, 2017. The strike price reflects a 0.64% premium to the Aug. 27 closing share price of C$1.57.

Proceeds will be used for research and development activities, general and administrative expenses, increased working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Based in Calgary, Alta., Resverlogix is a biotechnology company focused on therapies for cardiovascular disease.
