TORONTO, ONTARIO (TSX VENTURE: QVC) is pleased to announce that
it has entered into secured loan agreements with a major Canadian
financial institution for a CAD $5.0 million revolving operating
credit facility and a CAD $2.0 million term loan. The term loan
amortizes equally over a four year period following draw and has a
floating and fixed interest rate option. QuStream will use the
proceeds of the loans for general corporate purposes including
working capital, financing potential acquisitions, capital
expenditures and new product development.
QuStream is also pleased to announce that it has closed a
non-brokered private placement of secured convertible debentures
for CAD $2.0 million. The debentures bear an interest rate of 10%,
are repayable on March 6, 2010 and replace the notes payable
currently due August 9, 2008. The convertible debentures may be
converted into common shares, at the option of the holders, at any
time prior to the maturity date at $2.00 per share, subject to
adjustment. The Company may also force conversion of the
debentures, if the closing price of the Company's common shares is
equal to or greater than $2.00 for twenty consecutive trading days,
subject to adjustment. The Company has issued 1,000,000 common
share two year purchase warrants to the holders of the debentures.
The warrants become exercisable only if the convertible debentures
are redeemed by the Company for cash prior to the maturity date.
The securities issued and issuable in connection with the private
placement are subject to a four month hold period until July 7,
2008.
The private placement of the debentures is subject to final
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
"These financings will provide additional funds, with minimal
equity dilution, and positions us to continue to grow QuStream,"
said Frederick L. Godard, Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer of QuStream.
