TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 09/16/15 -- Morumbi Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: MOC) ("Morumbi" or the "Company") wishes to announce a proposed non-brokered private placement offering (the "Offering") of up to 200 Units at a price of $1,000 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of $1,000 principal amount of convertible unsecured debentures due August 31, 2018 (the "Maturity Date") and 20,000 share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $200,000.
The Debentures will bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum, payable quarterly. Pursuant to the terms of the Debentures, and subject to customary adjustments, the subscribers may, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, convert all or any part of the principal amount outstanding under the Debentures into common shares in the capital of the Company (each, a "Share") at a conversion price of $0.05 per Share. Additionally, accrued and unpaid interest on the Debentures may, at the option of the Company, be paid to holders thereof in Shares at a conversion price equal to the closing price of the Company's shares on the last trading date prior to the expiry of the applicable interest period. Each Warrant can be exercised into Shares at an exercise price of $0.05 per Share until the Maturity Date.
The Offering is anticipated to close on or about September 21, 2015, subject to receipt of TSX Venture Exchange approval. The proceeds of the Offering will be used by the Company to finance the pursuit of accretive acquisition opportunities and for general corporate purposes. The Company is currently in discussions with vendors in connection with the potential acquisition of mineral resource assets in Latin America, a region with which the Morumbi leadership team has considerable experience. There is no binding commitment at this time and no assurance that a binding commitment will ultimately be reached. The Company will continue to update the market concerning potential acquisition activity as circumstances warrant.
