TSX:
TML OTCQX: TSRMF
TORONTO, June 15,
2023 /CNW/ - Treasury Metals Inc. (TSX:
TML) (OTCQX: TSRMF) ("Treasury" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that the Company and its lender's agent,
Extract Advisors LLC ("Extract"), have completed an
amendment (the "Amendment") to the existing convertible term
loan (the "Loan"). The Amendment amended, among other terms,
the maturity date of the Loan (extending it to June 30, 2026 from June
30, 2023) and both fixes and reduces the interest rate to
9.75% from a floating rate of LIBOR + 6.5%.
Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the Loan will continue
to be convertible at the election of Extract into common shares in
the capital of the Company (the "Common Shares") at a
conversion price of C$0.96 per Common
Share. As consideration for the extension of the Loan, Treasury
will issue approximately 8.2 million Common Share purchase warrants
(the "Warrants"). Each Warrant is exercisable for one Common
Share for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuance, at
an exercise price of $0.441 per
Warrant, which represents a 50% premium to the 20-day VWAP of the
Common Shares as at May 31, 2023.
The Amendment also provides flexibility for the Company to
pursue project financing, with the ability to subordinate the Loan
with project financing or prepay the Loan in cash if a suitable
intercreditor agreement between Extract and the project financing
provider cannot be reached. Such prepayment option is subject to
the Company paying a premium equal to the greater of (a) interest
on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan for the remainder
of the Loan term, payable in cash, and (b) the fair value of an
embedded derivative conversion feature set out in the Amendment as
of the prepayment date, payable in cash and/or Common Shares to be
priced based on the higher of: (i) the 20-day VWAP for the date
immediately prior to the prepayment date; and (ii) the lowest
discounted price permitted by the polices of the TSX.
All other terms of the Loan will remain as per the terms set out
in prior agreements.
Jeremy Wyeth, President and CEO
of Treasury, commented "We are pleased to have the continued
support of Extract, as both lender and significant shareholder, as
we progress activities at our Goliath Gold Complex. The extension
of the Loan, on favourable terms, allows Treasury to maintain its
cash resources to further our goal of advancing our project. Value
engineering activities at the Goliath Gold Complex are underway in
advance of feasibility study work in 2023 and exploration
activities, targeting existing and potential targets, have resumed
on our 330-square kilometre property package."
