Kane Biotech Announces Amendment to its Credit Facility
03 March 2023 - 8:32AM
Kane Biotech Inc. (TSX-V:KNE; OTCQB:KNBIF) (the “Company” or “Kane
Biotech”) today announced that it has entered into a formal
amending agreement (the “Amending Agreement”) with Pivot Financial
I Limited Partnership (“Pivot”), to amend the terms of the
Company’s amended and restated credit agreement between Pivot and
the Company dated August 31, 2021, as amended (the “Credit
Facility”). The Company previously announced its intention to enter
into the Amending Agreement on March 1, 2023.
The Amending Agreement amends the Credit
Facility by:
- increasing the size of the non-revolving term loan under the
Credit Facility by $1 million from $4 million to $5 million;
- extending the maturity date of the Credit Facility from
February 28, 2023 to August 31, 2023;
- providing for a guarantee (the “Guarantee”) of $1 million of
the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility by a third
party guarantor (the “Guarantor”);
- requiring that $1 million advanced under the Credit Facility be
promptly repaid by the Company upon the closing of either an equity
investment in the Company of $1,000,000 or greater or an unsecured
subordinated loan of $1,000,000 or greater by a company controlled
by the Guarantor; and
As consideration for providing the Guarantee,
the Guarantor will be issued 2,500,000 warrants to purchase common
shares of the Company (“Shares”) at a price of $0.10 per Share for
a period of one year from the date of the issuance (the
“Compensation Warrants”). The issuance of the Compensation Warrants
is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
“The $1 million increase and maturity date
extension of the Pivot loan comes at an opportune time for Kane as
we continue to make good progress in our wound care product
development and commercialization efforts,” said Ray Dupuis, Chief
Financial Officer. “I would like to sincerely thank Pivot for their
ongoing support of Kane especially as we approach some important
inflection points in the Company.”
