CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/18/14 -- Canadian Quantum Energy Corporation ("Canadian Quantum" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: CQM) announced today that, further to its press releases dated October 21, 2014 and November 13, 2014, pursuant to the investment agreement (the "Investment Agreement") with Lang International Holdings Limited, a company registered in the British Virgin Islands ("Lang"), the Company has completed the private placement offering of series 2 convertible debentures, pursuant to which Lang purchased a series 2 convertible debenture in the principal amount of $550,000 (the "Series 2 Debenture"), subject to TSX Venture Exchange final approval.
The Series 2 Debenture is secured against the personal property of the Company and a portion of the Company's interest in the Alexander Project, convertible at a price of $0.10 per Common Share, matures on March 30, 2016 and bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The Series 2 Debenture ranks pari passu with the outstanding Series 1 Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $1,870,479.46 and the outstanding loan from Mr. Brett, the President and CEO of the Company, in the principal amount of $235,000.
The Series 2 Debenture, and any Common Shares issued upon conversion, are subject to a four month hold period that expires on March 18, 2014. The net proceeds from the offering of the Series 2 Debenture will be used for completion work at the Company's Alexander project and for general working capital.
As Lang acquired a Series 2 Debenture in the principal amount of $550,000, upon completion of the private placement Lang will own or control 22,631,000 Common Shares or approximately 38.76% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares, Series 1 Debentures in the principal amount of $935,239.73, and Series 2 Debentures in the principal amount of $550,000. Assuming the conversion of the Series 1 Debentures and Series 2 Debentures, Lang would own or control 35,924,664 Common Shares or approximately 50.11% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares. The purchase of the securities by Lang was made for investment purposes. Lang may increase or decrease its investment in Canadian Quantum depending on market conditions or any other relevant factors.
