TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / June 9, 2020 / Kontrol Energy Corp. (CSE:KNR)(OTCQB:KNRLF)(FSE:1K8) (the "Company" or "Kontrol") a leader in the energy efficiency sector through IoT, Cloud and SaaS technology announces the commencement of a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") of up to $5,800,000 principal amount 8% unsecured debentures of the Company maturing on October 31st, 2022 (each, a "2022 Debenture"). The 2022 Debentures will be issued as part of a unit (each, a "Unit") comprised of one $1,000 2022 Debenture and 50 common shares of the Company (each, a "Common Share").
"The 2-year extension of the October 2020 debentures provides a significant improvement to our balance sheet and maintains our focus on limiting dilution to Kontrol's common shares as we continue to execute on our growth strategy," says Paul Ghezzi, CEO of Kontrol.
The Company intends to allocate up to $5,800,000 of the Units for issuance to holders of the outstanding 8% unsecured debentures of the Company maturing on October 31st, 2020 (the "2020 Debentures") who wish to exchange their 2020 Debentures for Units in the Offering. The balance of the Units not issued to holders of 2020 Debentures in exchange for their return for cancellation of their 2020 Debentures will be offered to purchasers for cash. The holders of the 2020 Debentures are under no obligation to exchange the 2020 Debentures for Units. The 2022 Debentures will bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, payable monthly in arrears and will mature on October 31st, 2022. The Company shall make a bonus payment of 1% interest payable annually to the holders of the 2020 Debentures, in cash or in common shares, at the sole discretion of such holders. The 2022 Debentures are non-convertible and non-redeemable and will rank pari passu with all other unsecured indebtedness of the Company. The 2022 Debentures partially comprising the Units are not listed on any stock exchange or market.
The 2022 Debentures and Common Shares comprising the Units will be subject to a resale restriction of four months and one day from their date of issuance.
The Company may pay a selling commission or finder's fee to securities dealers or finders engaged by the Company not exceeding 7% of the aggregate principal amount of the Offering in cash and 7% of the aggregate principal amount of the Offering in broker warrants (the "Broker's Warrants") from the sale of the Units. Each Broker's Warrant will be exercisable to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price per equal to the 10 day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Kontrol's common shares at the date of closing, such pricing being subject to the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange.
Completion of the Offering is subject to the Company exchanging a minimum of two hundred 2020 Debentures in exchange for Units in the Offering.
The Offering will be made by way of private placement in Canada and may be offered in other jurisdictions where the Units can be issued pursuant to exemptions, exempt from any prospectus, registration or other similar requirements. The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange.
The securities offered have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This document shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
