NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S.
DIVESTCO INC. (TSX VENTURE:DVT) ("Divestco" or the "Corporation"), is pleased to
announce the first closing of its secured subordinated debenture offering in the
amount of $1,210,000 (the "Debentures") with a royalty interest (the "Royalty
Interest"). The Company's directors subscribed for $1,100,000. The Debentures
bear interest at 8.00% per annum, payable quarterly on the outstanding
principal. Principal payments will equal 50% of the net revenues generated by
the Seismic Data on or after July 1, 2012 (the "Principal Payments") with the
balance of the revenue to be retained by the Company. Net revenues will equal
90% of the gross revenues generated by the Seismic Data as the Corporation will
retain 10% of the gross revenues as a management fee. The Seismic Data is
comprised of the seismic surveys acquired by Corporation as of July 1, 2012.
Principal Payments may be postponed if the Corporation is in breach of any of
its senior debt covenants. The Corporation intends to use these initial proceeds
for working capital purposes. A subsequent closing will include conversion of
the Company's shareholder loans and a portion of its subordinated loan into
Debentures totaling $2.8 million, currently held by two directors. Additional
closings may be held at the option of the Corporation.
Upon full repayment of the principal amount of the Debentures and all accrued
interest, the Royalty Interest will become effective whereby 25% of the net
revenues generated by the Seismic Data, commencing after the last Principal
Payment has been made, will be paid as a royalty indefinitely (the "Royalty
Payments") with the balance of the revenue to be retained by the Company. Net
revenues will equal 90% of the gross revenues generated by the Seismic Data as
the Corporation will retain 10% of the gross revenues as a management fee.
Royalty Payments may be postponed if the Corporation is in breach of any of its
senior debt covenants.
The principal amount of the Debentures and accrued interest, but not the Royalty
Interest, is secured against the Seismic Data by way of a registered security
interest pursuant to the Personal Property Security Act (Alberta) but is
subordinated to the Corporation's existing senior debt and will be subordinated
to any future senior debt.
