Quia Announces Update on Financing and Shares for Debt Agreements
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jun 4, 2014) - Quia Resources
Inc. ("Quia" or the "Company") (TSX-VENTURE:QIA) is pleased to
provide the following update with respect to closing the first
tranche of the previously announced secured convertible debenture
financing and shares for debt agreements.
Secured Convertible Debenture Financing and Consolidation
The Company has received subscriptions for aggregate gross
proceeds of $339,500 of secured convertible debentures (the
"Debentures"), and is expecting to close this first tranche upon
receipt of final approval from the TSX Venture. Prior to closing
the Private Placement, the Company expects to complete a 10 for 1
share consolidation (the "Consolidation"), which was approved by
shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting held in
November 2013. The Company has submitted the required documentation
to the TSXV and expects approval shortly.
The Debentures will pay an annual interest rate of 14%, payable
semi-annually in common shares of the Company ("Shares") at an
effective price of $0.10 per Share (post-Consolidation). The
Debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity into
Shares at a price of $0.10 per Share (post-Consolidation). As an
incentive for purchasing Debentures, the Company will issue to
subscribers 6,667 bonus warrants ("Bonus Warrants") for every
$1,000 of Debentures purchased, resulting in the issuance 2,263,447
Bonus Warrants from the first tranche closing. Each Bonus Warrant
is exercisable into Shares at a price of $0.15 per Share
(post-Consolidation), for a period of 3 years from the closing date
("Closing Date"). The Debentures will mature 3 years from the
Closing Date.
Shares for Debt Agreements
Quia has entered into shares for debt agreements totaling
$331,915.94, with arm's length and non-arm's length parties
(collectively, the "Debt Settlements"). An aggregate of 2,133,452
Shares and 1,066,726 common share purchase warrants ("Warrants")
will be issued to unrelated parties in settlement of $149,341.63 of
debt, and 2,608,204 Shares will be issued to insiders and related
parties in settlement of $182,574.33 of debt. Each Warrant entitles
the holder to acquire one Share at a price of $0.10 per Share
(post-Consolidation) for a period of 24 months from the issuance
date. The Shares and Warrants issued pursuant to the Debt
Settlements will not result in a change of control of the Company,
will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of
issuance, and will be subject to the approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange. Te Debt Settlements are expected to occur prior to
completing the Debenture financing.
The 2,608,204 Shares issued to insiders and related parties were
for settlements of outstanding fees and loans to the following:
$94,029.74 to Foundation Opportunities Inc., $61,840 to Cavalry
Corporate Solutions, $19,095 to William Richard Brown and $7,609.59
