ZENITH FURTHER REDUCES DEBT
Calgary, Alberta - January 30, 2017 - Zenith Energy Ltd.
("Zenith" or the "Company"), LSE: ZEN, TSX.V: ZEE reports that, at
the request of its bondholders, the Company has completed a further
conversion of Convertible Notes (the "Convertible Notes")
denominated in CHF (Swiss Franc), issuing an amount of 3,700, 000 (
three million seven hundred thousand) Common Shares (the "Common
Shares") of Zenith with an aggregate value of CDN$ 407,000
(approximately GBP247,000).
The terms of this conversion were comprehensively outlined in
the Prospectus issued by the Company on 11 January 2017, stating
that the conversion mechanism requires a conversion price of CDN$
0.11 (GBP0.0677).
The Convertible Notes were originally issued in December 2011
for an amount of CHF 1,080,000 with an interest rate of 9% per
annum. The outstanding amount after this conversion is reduced to
CHF 253,644.00, which is the equivalent of approximately CDN$
332,500 (GBP201,832).
It should be noted, based on the most recent quarterly unaudited
financial statements filed on SEDAR, that the Company's financial
debt is approximately 2% of shareholders' equity.
Andrea Cattaneo, CEO of Zenith, commented:
"It is well known that the demise of many junior oil companies
is chiefly the result of imprudent debt undertakings. The Board of
Directors recognizes this risk and is therefore pleased by the
decision of the bondholder to convert its convertible notes at this
time. It also makes sense to issue these shares as soon as possible
following the Company's IPO.
Further details on the conversion of these convertible notes
will be available in the third quarter interim financial statements
and management discussion and analysis for the period ending 31
December 2016. Being a Canadian issuer the Company publishes these
documents quarterly, and in Zenith's case, publication is
anticipated to take place a month from now."
