ITEM 1.02.    Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On May 20, 2009, we paid the sum of 92,269,285 (Rand) to Investec Bank Limited (“Investec”) in payment of all amounts due Investec under the bridging facility (term loan) we obtained from Investec on May 27, 2008.  The amount paid included repayment of 80,000,000 (Rand) in principal, 12,225,335 (Rand) in interest, and 43,950 (Rand) in other charges.

 

In receiving the payment, Investec also released its security interest in all of our assets.

 

We originally obtained the bridging facility (term loan) primarily to fund the acquisition of Barbrook Mines Limited from Maid 'O The Mist (Proprietary) Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of South Africa and a subsidiary of Caledonia Mining Corporation Limited, a company incorporated in Canada.

 

In addition to repayment of principal, payment of interest and other charges, in November 2008 we granted Investec 820,000 common stock purchase warrants for the purchase of 820,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the lower of $3.75 per share and the price at which we raise equity capital in our next offering.  The Warrants were granted in consideration of Investec’s extension of the maturity date of the bridging facility (term loan) from November 28, 2008 to May 29, 2009 (the “Loan Extension”).

 

With the payment of these sums to Investec, we have fulfilled all of our financial obligations to Investec under the terms of the Loan Extension.

 

ITEM  7.01.  Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

As stated above, on May 20, 2009, we paid the sum of 92,269,285 (Rand) to Investec Bank Limited (“Investec”).  The payment to Investec represent our final payment to Investec and thereby served to discharge our financial obligations to them under the terms of the bridging facility (term loan) of May 27, 2008 and the terms of the Loan Extension.

 

While we believe that the payment of our obligations to Investec serves to enhance our balance sheet and our financial flexibility, we remain a small company subject to many risks and uncertainties over which we have little or no control.
