(CSE: READ) (OTCQB: LEBGF) (FSE: D0T) ("Legible” / “Company”) announces a non-brokered private placement offering of unsecured convertible debentures pursuant to exemptions from applicable Canadian securities laws (“Debenture Units”).

 

Legible is offering up to 150 Debenture Units at $7,000 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $1,050,000. There is no minimum amount associated with the offering and the number of Debenture Units may be increased upon receipt of the prerequisite board and regulatory approvals.

 

Each Debenture Unit consists of: (i) a 15% unsecured convertible debenture of the Company (“Debenture”) in the principal amount of $7,000; and (ii) 100,000 common share purchase warrants (“Warrant”). The Debentures mature on the date that is two (2) years following the closing and are convertible at the holder’s option into common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) at a conversion price of $0.07 per Common Share.

 

The Debentures bear simple interest at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum (“Interest”), payable quarterly in arrears. Interest is payable in cash and or Common Shares by way of the issuance of Common Shares of the Company at the maximum allowable discount as prescribed by the applicable regulatory authority, based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares, on the date the election is made to take payment of the Interest in Common Shares.

 

The holders of the Debentures shall be entitled to convert the principal amount (excluding accrued but unpaid Interest), in whole or in part, into Common Shares at a conversion price of $0.07 per Common Share.

 

Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share of the Company at a price of $0.08 for a period of two (2) years from closing; provided that if, at any time, after the date that is four months and one day following the closing, the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) is at least $0.25 per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, the expiry date of the Warrants may be accelerated by the Company to a date that is not less than 21 days after the date that notice of such acceleration is provided to the Warrant holders, which notice may be by way of general press release.

 

A finder’s fee of up to 8% of the gross proceeds of the private placement can be paid in cash. Finder’s warrants can be issued in an amount up to 8% of the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures sold under the private placement. Each finder’s warrant may be exercised to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.08 per share for a period of two (2) years from the closing; provided that if, at any time, after the date that is four months and one day following the closing, the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the CSE is at least $0.25 per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, the expiry date of the finder’s warrants may be accelerated by the Company to a date that is not less than 21 days after the date that notice of such acceleration is provided to the finder’s warrant holders, which notice may be by way of general press release.
