22 Juni 2020 - 10:34PM
Goldgroup Mining Inc. ("
Goldgroup" or the
"
Company") (TSX:GGA, OTC:GGAZF, BMV SIX:GGAN.MX)
is pleased to announce that it has signed an indicative term sheet
(the "
Term Sheet") in respect of a secured loan
facility (the "
Facility") with Accendo Banco S.A.,
Multiple Banking Institution (the "
Lender"), in
the amount of USD$3,000,000 (the "
Facility
Amount").
Facility Terms
As set out in the Term Sheet, the Facility will
be available for drawing for 12 months following the date on which
certain conditions precedent to the Facility have been satisfied
(the "Closing Date"), with a minimum drawdown of
USD$200,000. It will bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum,
accruing on the outstanding amount drawn under the Facility.
Repayments will begin 12 months after the drawdown, and be payable
in equal installments, quarterly in arrears until the final
repayment date of 36 months from the Closing Date. The Company will
have an option to prepay without penalty any portion of the
Facility, subject to 10 days' notice, payment of additional fees or
costs associated with prepayment, and minimum prepayment amounts of
USD $200,000.
As consideration for the Loan, the Company
proposes:
- to pay to the Lender an arrangement fee in an amount equal to
0.925% of the Facility Amount and a commitment fee in an amount
equal to 1% per annum on the available but undrawn balance of the
Facility Amount; and
- to issue to the Lender a total of 7,500,000 common share
purchase warrants (each, a "Lender Warrant"). Each
Lender Warrant will be exercisable to purchase one common share in
the capital of the Company (each, a "Lender Warrant
Share") at a price of CAD$0.025 per Lender Warrant Share
for a period of 48 months from the Closing Date. The Lender
Warrants may not be exercised prior to the Closing Date, and will
be cancelled in the event that the Closing Date does not occur by
August 31, 2020. Any proceeds received by the Company from the
exercise of Lender Warrants will be immediately applied to prepay
or repay the Facility.
In the event that an offer of finance from the
Lender in respect of the Facility is accepted by the Company, but
no definitive agreement in respect of the Facility is executed
within ten days of that acceptance, the Company will pay to the
Lender a break fee of USD $100,000.
The Facility will be secured by:
- certain assets of the Company, including the Company's Cerro
Prieto project;
- guarantees by certain subsidiaries of the Company;
- a pledge of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's
subsidiary Minas de Oroco Resources, S.A. de C.V.;
- a subordination agreement with any existing lenders of the
Company in respect of the Facility; and
- assignment of collection rights to certain agreements of the
Company.
Proceeds of the Facility will be for general
working capital purposes and to repay the existing secured loan
from the Lender that was previously announced by the Company on
October 5, 2018. The Facility, including the issuance of the Lender
Warrants to the Lender, is subject to TSX acceptance.
