MONTREAL, March 28, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Windermere Capital (Canada) Inc. ("Windermere"), a Montreal-based investment firm, announces that it has increased its interest in Defiance Silver Corp. ("DEF"; TSX-V: DEF) since it last reported on SEDAR its control of common shares of DEF ("Common Shares") and warrants to acquire Common Shares ("Warrants") as at February 28, 2014. On March 27, 2014, Windermere acquired control of 18,000,000 Common Shares and 18,000,000 Warrants by way of a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of units of DEF (the "Units"), representing approximately 54.5% of the outstanding Common Shares as at March 27, 2014, assuming all the Warrants controlled by Windermere as a result of the Private Placement were fully exercised. Each was issued at a price of $0.05 per Unit, for an aggregate subscription price of $900,000.
As a result of the Private Placement, Windermere now controls a total of 20,000,000 Common Shares and 20,000,000 Warrants, which represent, in the aggregate, if such Warrants were fully exercised, approximately 58.7 % of the outstanding Common Shares. However, the 18,000,000 Common Shares and 18,000,000 Warrants acquired on March 27, 2014 are being held by DEF in escrow pending final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange for the Private Placement.
