Paleo Resources Announces Interim Debenture Closing and Increases Debenture Offering Amount
06 June 2019 - 8:32AM
Paleo Resources, Inc. (“Paleo” or the “Corporation”) (TSX-V: PRE,
OTCQB: PRIEF) announced today that it has increased the size of its
previously announced non-brokered private placement offering of
7.5% subordinated secured convertible debentures to CDN$4,024,200
(US$3,000,000 at an assumed exchange rate of CDN$0.7455 to
US$1.00). In addition, Paleo announced that it has completed the
closing of the first tranche of the private placement of debentures
for gross proceeds of CDN$2,036,245 (US$1,518,000 at an assumed
exchange rate of CDN$0.7455 to US$1.00), subject to final approval
of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The debentures bear interest at a rate of seven
and a half percent (7.5%) per annum, payable monthly in arrears on
the 15th day of the following month, and will mature on the date
that is three years from the closing date. The debentures are
secured by a subordinated (second-charge) security interest against
the Corporation’s working interest in the Joffre, Alberta property
and convertible at any time at the holder’s option into common
shares of the Corporation at a conversion price of CDN$0.12 per
common share. The holders of the debentures have the right,
upon at least 30 days written notice prior to the date that is two
(2) years following the closing date, to require the Corporation to
repurchase all amounts outstanding under the debentures on the date
that is two (2) years following the closing date, at a repurchase
price equal to 115% of the outstanding principal amount of the
debenture, together with payment of the interest on the principal
amount accrued and unpaid to the repurchase date.
All securities issued in connection with this
tranche of the offering are subject to a hold period that expires
on October 6, 2019. The net proceeds from the offering will
be used for expenditures in developing the Corporation’s properties
in Joffre, Alberta and Polk County, Texas, and for general working
capital purposes.
It is anticipated that Paleo will close a second
tranche of the offering on or about June 19, 2019. In connection
with the proposed second tranche, Paleo intends to settle a portion
of the debt owed to Energy Reserve Capital, LLC (“Energy Reserve”),
subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Pursuant to the
debt settlement, Paleo would issue debentures in the aggregate
principal amount of CDN$646,555 (US$482,000 at an assumed exchange
rate of CDN$0.7455 to US$1.00) to shareholders of Paleo Oil
Company, LLC, the parent company of Energy Reserve, namely Roger S.
Braugh, a director of Paleo and Chris Pettit & Associates PC,
controlled by Christopher J. Pettit, a director of Paleo, as
trustee of a Trust.

of Paleo approved a further amendment to the existing loan from
Energy Reserve to its wholly-owned US subsidiary, Paleo Resources
(USA), Inc. (“Paleo USA”), to increase the principal amount from
US$1,250,000 to US$2,100,000, subject to TSX Venture Exchange
final approval. All other terms of the loan remain unchanged.

principal amount of the loan would be reduced to
US$1,618,000.
