PR Newswire (Canada)
MONCTON, NB, March 20, 2012 /CNW/ - Landdrill International Inc.
("Landdrill" or the "Company"), announces two new financings along
with the restructuring of an existing debt obligation geared at
improving the Company's cash position. In the first financing the
Company has arranged for an $8 million loan (the "Bridge Loan") and
the net proceeds will be used to temporarily retire their current
operating line of credit with the net $4 million being an increase
to cash, thereby providing the necessary support for the
significant growth to the Company's working capital assets.
Pursuant to the terms of the Bridge Loan, the Company will provide
the new lender with security interests on its assets. As
consideration, the Company has agreed to issue the lender 4,600,000
common share purchase warrants whereby each warrant permits the
lender to acquire a common share in the capital of the Company at
an exercise price of $0.24 per share for a period of 36 months for
the date of issuance. After the anniversary of the closing
date, Landdrill may repay the Bridge Loan at any time without
penalty. The Company has agreed to issue to the broker of the
Bridge Loan $160,000 worth of common stock of the Company based on
the 10 day volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of its Shares on
the TSXV. The Company has restructured the terms and security of an
existing equipment lender (the "Equipment Loan"). In
consideration for the amendments to their security agreement,
Landdrill will increase its monthly repayment amount for the
remainder of the term of the Equipment Loan and the Company has
agreed to issue the Equipment Loan lender $100,000 of the Company's
common stock, based on the 10 day VWAP its shares on the TSXV. In
the second financing, the Company has secured a $1.2 million
working capital loan with a Canadian equipment lender. The
Company expects to close this loan prior to the end of March. Ron
Goguen, Sr., the President and CEO of Landdrill said, "The new
financings ensure that Landdrill has sufficient cash in order to
comfortably operate at its current record level of activity.
After completing the current year, the Company will be positioned
to re-instate their revolving line of credit and repay the Bridge
Loan". The foregoing transactions from the first financing are
expected to close on or about Tuesday, March 20, 2012 and are
subject to TSXV approval in accordance with TSXV policy. Neither
