MONTREAL, Nov. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (CSE: EMER) Emergia Inc. (the “Corporation or “Emergia”) is pleased to announce that, subject to regulatory approval, it has completed the first closing of a private placement of up to $5,000,000 of convertible debentures (the “Debentures”). This first closing was completed for an amount of $2,000,000.
The Debentures bear interest at the rate of 8% per year, accruing in arrears, payable semi-annually in cash or in Class A Common Shares (the “Shares”) of the Corporation. The Debentures are convertible at the holder’s option into one unit (the “Units”) of the Corporation at a conversion price of $0.85. Each Unit is composed of one Share in the capital of the Corporation and two (2) warrants of the Corporation: (i) a warrant of the Corporation entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Share at a price of $1.25 per Share until October 31, 2023 and (ii) a warrant of the Corporation entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Share at a price of $1.50 per Share until October 31, 2024. In the event that, during the term of the Debentures, the volume weighted trading price of the Shares for the last 20 days on the Canadian Securities Exchange is equal to, or greater than $1.50 per Share, then the Corporation may force the conversion of the Debentures into Units.
“This closing marks an important milestone in Emergia’s timeline in its financial repositioning, allowing the Corporation to reduce significantly its short-term debt and to start development projects to pursue its objective of growth and valuation of its assets”, said Henri Petit, President and CEO of Emergia.
