Duncan Park Announces Closing of Private Placement

TORONTO, Oct. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Duncan Park Holdings Corporation ("Duncan Park" or the "Company") (TSXV: DPH) announced today the closing of its previously announced private placement ("Private Placement") of $250,000 of convertible debentures ("Debentures").

The Debentures are convertible, at the election of the holder, into units of the Corporation ("Units"). The principal amount of the Debentures are convertible at a price of $0.05 per Unit prior to completion of the previously announced proposed consolidation ("Consolidation") of the Company's common shares ("Shares") on the basis of one (1) post-Consolidation Share for up to forty (40) pre-Consolidation Shares. (The Consolidation remains subject to the TSX Venture Exchange and shareholder approval.)

Alternatively, the principal amount of Debentures converted following completion of the Consolidation, would be convertible based on a deemed pre-Consolidation price of $0.01 per pre-Consolidation Share (the actual number of post-Consolidation Shares to be issued to be adjusted to account for the consolidation ratio adopted.) The Debentures have a term of one (1) year and accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum.

Prior to the completion of the Consolidation, each Unit would be comprised of one (1) pre-Consolidation Share (a "Debenture Share") and one-half (1/2) of one (1) pre-Consolidation Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"), subject to adjustment following completion of the Consolidation. Each whole Warrant would be exercisable for a period of twelve (12) months for the equivalent of one (1) pre-Consolidation Share (a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price (i) of $0.075 per Warrant Share prior to completion of the Consolidation and (ii) subsequent to the completion of the Consolidation, based on a deemed pre-Consolidation exercise price of $0.015 per Warrant Share, adjusted to account for the Consolidation ratio. Assuming the Consolidation is completed at a ratio of one (1) post-Consolidation Share for every forty (40) pre-Consolidation Shares, the Warrants would be exercisable at an Exercise Price of $0.60 for every one (1) post-Consolidation Share.

In the event that the Shares are not listed on the TSXV, the Debentures would be convertible into one (1) Debenture Share (and no Warrants) at a price of $0.0075 per share (on a pre-Consolidation basis), subject to adjustment in order to account for the Consolidation (and Consolidation ratio adopted).

The lead investor in the Private Placement has the right to appoint one additional director to the board of directors of the Company for the period ending with the completion of the next shareholders meeting of the Company.

The proceeds of the Private Placement are expected to be used to pay a substantial portion of accrued ordinary course administrative liabilities (including to certain officers and directors of the Company), to repay a substantial portion of loans incurred to pay ordinary course administrative liabilities (including to an officer and director of the Company), to pay expenses to be incurred in holding the requisite annual and special shareholders’ meeting and for general corporate purposes.

The Debentures and the securities issuable upon the conversion thereof (including the Warrant Shares) are subject to a four month hold period ending February 5, 2019.

In addition to the completion of the Private Placement, the Company continues to move forward with its other plans, as announced on August 23, 2018, to undertake a series of transactions and other corporate measures in an effort to rationalize its capital and debt structure in an attempt to better position the Company for future opportunities. Such transactions remain subject to TSXV and shareholder approval.
