Pinetree Capital Ltd. (TSX:PNP) announces the partial closing today of its
previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Financing"), pursuant
to which Pinetree raised aggregate gross proceeds of $8,500,000 from the
issuance and sale of 18,888,889 units, at a price of $0.45 per unit. The company
expects the remaining portion of the Financing, representing gross proceeds of
$2,000,000, to be completed within the next few days.
Each Unit was comprised of one common share and one-half of one common share
purchase warrant of Pinetree. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase
one common share of the company, at a price of $0.75, until expiry on May 26
2017, provided that, if the weighted-average trading price of the company's
common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange is $1.25 or more for any period of
twenty consecutive trading days commencing after September 26, 2014, Pinetree
may accelerate the expiry date of the warrants upon at least 30 days' notice to
the holders.
The proceeds of the Financing will be used for working capital purposes, which
may include the purchase for cancellation of a portion of the company's
outstanding convertible debentures.
Officers and directors of Pinetree (and their associates) purchased an aggregate
of 3,933,333 units under the Financing, representing approximately 21% of the
total number of units sold today and 17% of the total number of units
anticipated to be sold upon completion of the entire Financing.
Pinetree paid finders' fees in the form of an aggregate of 976,001 units to
third parties who assisted the company in the Financing. The units have the same
terms and conditions as the units sold in the Financing.
The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This
press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an
offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction
in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
