NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Indico Resources Ltd. ("Indico" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:IDI) announces
that further to its news releases of May 22 and June 26, 2013, the Company held
a special meeting of its shareholders on July 15, 2013 (the "Meeting"). At the
Meeting, an ordinary resolution of disinterested shareholders was passed
approving the potential creation of a new control person arising from the
issuance (the "Private Placement") of convertible debentures (the "Convertible
Debentures") to Stonehouse Construction Private Limited ("Stonehouse").
Pursuant to the terms of the Private Placement, Convertible Debentures in the
aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 are to be issued to Stonehouse. The
Convertible Debentures bear interest at an initial rate of 8% per annum and are
convertible in whole or in part into an unit (the "Unit") at a price of $0.11
per Unit. Each Unit will be comprised of one common share in the capital of the
Company (a "Share") and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each
Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of
$0.16 per Share for a period of two years from the closing of the Private
Placement, subject to Indico's right to accelerate the exercise of the Warrants
(the "Accelerated Expiry") in the event the closing price of the Shares on the
TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V") is equal to or exceeds $0.30 per Share for a
period of 10 consecutive trading days between the expiry date of the four month
hold period and the date of expiry of the Warrants.
On June 26, 2013, the Company announced that it had closed the first tranche of
the Private Placement with respect to a Convertible Debenture in the principal
amount of $574,769.03 which is convertible in whole or in part into a maximum of
5,225,173 Units at a price of $0.11 per Unit. The Company is pleased to announce
that it has now also closed the second tranche of the Private Placement with
respect to an additional Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of
$925,230.97 which is convertible in whole or in part into a maximum of 8,411,190
Units at a price of $0.11 per Unit. Immediately following completion of the
Private Placement, the Convertible Debentures issued to Stonehouse were
converted into an aggregate of 13,636,363 Units at a price of $0.11 per Unit.
Subject to the approval of TSX-V, Stonehouse may at its' sole discretion elect
to receive units of Indico (the "Interest Units") in payment of all or any part
of the accrued interest payable at the end of the term. Each Interest Unit shall
be comprised of one Share and one Warrant (the "Interest Warrant") entitling the
holder to acquire an additional Share expiring July 24, 2015, subject to the
Accelerated Expiry. The conversion price on the Interest Units and the exercise
price of the Interest Warrants shall be the lowest price allowable under the
policies of the TSX-V at the time TSX-V approval is obtained for such interest
conversion.
Following completion of the Private Placement, and subsequent conversion of the
Convertible Debentures, Stonehouse now has direct ownership and control over
13,636,363 common shares of the Company representing 19.29% of the issued and
outstanding common shares. If Stonehouse were to exercise all of the Warrants,
it would then own 27,272,726 common shares of the Company representing 32.34% of
the then issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.
Stonehouse acquired the Convertible Debentures and the underlying Units for
investment purposes. Stonehouse may, subject to the approval of the TSX-V, elect
to convert the all or a portion of outstanding interest payable on the
Debentures into Interest Units. Otherwise, Stonehouse has no present intention
to acquire further securities of the Company, although Stonehouse may in the
future acquire or dispose of securities of the Company, through the market,
privately or otherwise, as circumstances or market conditions warrant.
All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject
to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance
in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
The net proceeds from the Private Placement are intended to be used to further
exploration of the Company's Ocana porphyry copper-gold project in Peru and for
general working capital purposes.
