L’ASSOMPTION, Québec, July 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Terranueva Corporation (CSE: TEQ) (“Terranueva” or the “Corporation”) announces the closing of a non-brokered private placement of second rank convertible debentures for an aggregate gross principal amount of $2,950,000 paid in cash and bearing an interest rate of 5% per annum (the “Offering”). The principal amount and interest are payable in five years, namely at the maturity of July 12, 2027, and the principal amount is convertible at any time until July 13, 2025, at the option of the holder, into voting common shares of the share capital of Terranueva (“Common Shares”) at a conversion price of $0.08 per Common Share. The debentures will be secured by a second rank hypothec on the universality of the Corporation’s movable property. The debentures and the underlying Common Shares are subject to a mandatory holding period of four months and one day from the closing. All parties to the Offering are dealing at arm’s length with Terranueva, except the participation of an officer and controlling shareholder of the Corporation described below, and no commission was payable. The whole is subject to applicable regulatory approvals. The proceeds of the Offering will be used primarily to replenish the Corporation’s working capital and for business development. An officer and controlling shareholder of the Corporation subscribed, directly and indirectly, for an aggregate principal amount of $2,315,750 convertible into up to a potential of 28,946,875 Common Shares. Its current holding on a non-diluted basis remains unchanged at 26.92% while its holding on a partially diluted basis (should a potential conversion occurs), currently of 42.47% will increase by 13.95% following the conversion of the total gross principal amount of the Offering. The issuance of the debentures to this insider constitutes a related party transaction, but which is exempt from the requirement to provide a formal valuation and obtain minority approval under Regulation 61-101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, and the board of directors of the Corporation, which includes independent directors in respect of the transaction who are not employees of the Corporation, has unanimously approved the Offering. In addition, neither the Corporation nor the said related party has knowledge of any material information concerning the Corporation or its securities that has not been generally disclosed. Terranueva did not file a material change report with respect to the insider’s interest at least 21 days prior to the date of the closing of the private placement, as such insider’s interest was not determined at that time.
