Organigram Announces Conversion of $98 Million Debentures Into Common Shares
Canada NewsWire
MONCTON, NB, Feb. 27, 2019
MONCTON, NB, Feb. 27, 2019 /CNW/ - Organigram Holdings Inc. (TSX VENTURE: OGI) (OTCQX: OGRMF), announced today that the Company has elected to exercise its right under the indenture (the "Indenture") governing the Company's 6.0% convertible unsecured debentures due January 31, 2020 (the "Debentures") to convert (the "Conversion") all of the principal amount outstanding of the remaining Debentures on April 1, 2019 (the "Conversion Date") into common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares").
OrganiGram (CNW Group/OrganiGram)
Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Company may force the conversion of the Debentures at the conversion price of $5.42 per Common Share when the volume weighted average trading price ("VWAP") of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") for 10 consecutive trading days exceeds $7.05.
As of close of markets February 26, 2019, the VWAP of the Common Shares on the Exchange for 10 consecutive trading days exceeded $7.05. The Conversion is scheduled to be effective on or around April 1, 2019. Therefore, on April 1, 2019, the estimated remaining total of approximately $98,024,000 (face value) of Debentures outstanding will be converted into approximately 18,085,608 Common Shares, and accrued interest (less any required deductions or withholdings) will be paid. The Corporation will not issue fractional Common Shares on the Conversion. Instead, the Corporation shall, in lieu of delivering a certificate representing such fractional interest, make a cash payment to the holder of an amount equal to the fractional interest in accordance with the Indenture.
The Company has provided the holders of the Debentures at least 30 days advance written notice of the Conversion.
Holders of the Debentures can voluntarily convert their Debentures in accordance with the terms of the Indenture prior to the Conversion Date. The Company estimates that the Conversion will save approximately $4.9 million in cash interest payments that would have otherwise been payable if the outstanding Debentures were held to maturity. The Conversion will also eliminate a significant liability from the Company's balance sheet.
