Pacific Road Resources Funds announce further investment in Xtierra Inc.
TORONTO, March 2 /CNW/ - The Pacific Road Resources Funds ("PRRF") are pleased to announce that, further to the press release issued by Xtierra Inc. (the "Company") on March 1, 2010, PRRF has purchased 12,500,000 units issued by the Company by way of private placement for gross proceeds to the Company of $2,500,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.30 for a term of one year. The common shares purchased by PRRF represent approximately 17.95% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.
Following closing of the transaction, PRRF holds 23,740,000 common shares, 11,870,000 common share purchase warrants and convertible non-interest bearing notes in the aggregate principal amount of USD$1,250,000. The common shares held by the Offeror represent approximately 34.1% of the issued and outstanding shares.
As the number of common shares of the Company issuable to PRRF under such convertible notes is contingent, in part, upon future values and share prices, the number of such shares which PRRF may acquire should it exercise its rights under such notes, cannot be determined at this time. However, in respect of the notes, due to the minimum exchange price, PRRF will not likely acquire more than 15,537,500 additional common shares (based on a conversion rate of $1.243 for USD$1.00, being the Bank of Canada noon-day rate on April 6, 2009); assuming the issuance of such number of common shares under the convertible notes and full exercise of the warrants held by PRRF, PRRF would hold a total of 51,147,500 common shares, representing approximately 52.7% of the common shares of the Company.
PRRF purchased the securities for investment purposes and may or may not purchase or sell securities of the Company in the future on the open market or in private transactions, depending on market conditions and other factors.
