U.S. Silver & Gold Inc. announces agreement to replace existing debt 08/08/2013 TORONTO, Aug. 8, 2013 /CNW/ -
U.S. Silver & Gold Inc. (TSX: USA, OTCQX: USGIF) ("U.S. Silver & Gold" or the "Company") has replaced the previously announced extension on its existing US $7.9 million senior secured credit facility with Hale Capital Partners.
The Company has signed a credit agreement with Royal Capital Management Corporation as security agent, and certain lenders for the issuance of CDN $8.5 million notes (the "Notes") with a three-year term. The Notes carry a comparable annual interest rate of 12%, payable monthly, and are secured by a first charge on all material assets of the Company. Beginning two years following the date of issue, the Notes will be redeemed in monthly increments of $500,000 with the balance due and payable on maturity. The debt may be repaid at any time during the three-year term, subject to a repayment fee. In connection with closing the transaction, the Company will issue 10,625,000 warrants. Each warrant allows the holder to purchase one of the Company's common shares for a five-year term, and will be issued with an exercise price of $0.68, subject to downward adjustment in certain circumstances.
Unlike the previously announced term sheet with Hale Capital Partners, this new credit agreement does not require the Company to pay a net smelter return royalty.
The Company will further update the market on the new credit agreement during its second quarter conference call on Tuesday, August 13th, 2013 at 4:30 pm Eastern Standard Time.
