Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 15, 2024) - ReGen III Corp. (TSXV: GIII) (OTCQB: ISRJF) (FSE: PN4) ("ReGen III" or the "Company"), a leading clean technology company commercializing the patented ReGen process to upcycle used motor oil ("UMO") into high-value Group III base oils, is pleased to announce the closing of its second and final tranche in the amount of 300 Convertible Debenture Units (the "Units") at a price of CAD$1,000 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$300,000, pursuant to its non-brokered private placement (the "Placement") announced on April 30, 2024.
Each Unit consists of CAD$1,000 in principal amount of unsecured convertible debenture (a "Debenture") and 1,000 common share purchase warrants (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable to purchase one common share at a price of CAD$0.55 for a period of 24 months after closing.
The Debentures have a term of 24 months and will accrue interest at a rate of 14% per annum, payable in arrears on a semi-annual basis, and on maturity. After 12 months, the Company may, subject to the prior approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), elect to pay outstanding interest in common shares ("Interest Shares") at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) the volume weighted average price of the common shares on the Exchange for the five (5) trading days prior to the date such interest is due, and (ii) the Discounted Market Price (as defined by the Exchange) at that time.
The Debentures will be convertible at the option of the holder into common shares at a price of CAD$0.55 per common share. After four (4) months, the Company may redeem the Debentures in whole or in part by payment of 115% of the principal amount being redeemed, in cash, together with payment of any accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed, in cash or Interest Shares or a combination thereof.
The Debentures and Warrants issued in this final tranche and any underlying common shares are subject to a hold period expiring on November 16, 2024. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Placement to advance the Company's re-refinery engineering, including consulting studies, for general working capital and to evaluate potential mergers and acquisitions.
A Director of the Company acquired ownership or control over an additional 100 Units in the final tranche, the underlying debenture and warrants which if immediately converted and exercised respectively as of closing would result in the issue of 281,818 common shares representing approximately 0.238% of the then issued and outstanding common shares. The participation by insiders constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company has relied upon the exemption from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements pursuant to sections 5.5(a), (b) and (c), and sections 5.7(1)(a) and (b), respectively, of MI 61-101.
This press release does not constitute, and shall not be construed as, an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any Units within the United States.
