Kontrol Energy Provides Acquisition Update, Enters into Indicative Term Sheet with Institutional Lender and Updates Convertible Debenture Terms
TORONTO, ON / August 9, 2019 / Kontrol Energy Corp. (CSE:KNR) (OTCQB:KNRLF) (FSE:1K8) (“Kontrol” or "Company") a leader in the energy efficiency sector through IoT, Cloud and SaaS technology is updating the timing of its recently announced acquisition (the “Acquisition”) and convertible debenture financing.
On March 14th, 2019 the Company announced that it had entered into a Letter of Intent (the "LOI") to acquire an established and leading provider of electrical retrofit services (the "Target"). The anticipated closing of the Acquisition is on or about the end of August 2019. Closing of the Acquisition is subject to finalizing the SPA and the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the approval of the CSE.
Loan Facility
The Company has agreed to indicative terms with an Institutional Lender (the “Lender”) to provide acquisition funding for the Acquisition in the form of a secured loan. The indicative terms are non-binding and subject to due diligence and the execution of definitive loan documentation. The indicative loan terms include an approximate interest rate of 3-month Banker’s Acceptance plus 8% with a 3-year term with interest only payments for the first 18 months. In addition, on the closing date of the secured loan transaction, the Lender will be granted warrants equal to 3.20% of the outstanding issued shares of the Company, such warrants to have an exercise price of $1.05 per common share and a term of six years.
“We believe the arrangement we have reached with the Lender will provide Kontrol with a less dilutive financing solution to close our next acquisition and allows us to keep our total basic common shares outstanding to less than 30 Million,” says Paul Ghezzi, CEO of Kontrol.
Convertible Debenture
As part of the indicative terms with the Lender, Kontrol has agreed to limit its previously announced convertible debenture offering to a maximum of $2.0 Million. The terms of the convertible debenture have been updated to include a cash commission of 7% (previously 6.5%), a conversion price of 80 cents (previously $1.05), a broker warrant exercise price of 80 cents (previously 90 cents) and an accelerated conversion price of $1.25 (previously $1.40). The other terms of the convertible debentures remain the same.
Closing of the convertible debenture offering is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the approval of the CSE.
