Altiplano Announces Proposed Debt Financing with Bonus Shares
EDMONTON, Nov. 6, 2018 /CNW/ - Altiplano Metals Inc. (TSXV: APN) ("Altiplano" or the "Company") has arranged interim bridge loan financing (the "Loans") from various insiders and other private investors of the Company to raise a minimum of $100,000 and up to a maximum of $500,000.
Under the terms of the financing, the Loans will bear interest at 10% per annum and will be repayable by the Company one year after their date of advance (the "Maturity Date"). The Company expects to repay the Loans on the Maturity Date from cash flow generated from the Company's operations in Chile, conditional upon a positive production decision being made by the board in 2019.
As compensation to the lenders for the risk of repayment of the Loans, Altiplano will issue bonus common shares equal to 20% of the principal amount loaned by each lender at an issue price of $0.175 per share, or up to a maximum of 571,428, if the entire $500,000 is raised. The proceeds of the financing will be used to pay current trade payables of the Company and to fund the completion of the current exploration program, with any surplus to provide general working capital.
