NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO US NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
BURNABY, BC, March 14, 2012 /CNW/ - Legend Power Systems Inc. (TSXV: LPS) ("Legend Power" or the "Company") advises that it has added an increase in the authorized capital of the Company as a matter to be considered at its annual shareholders meeting scheduled for March 29, 2012. The March 29, 2012 meeting will be adjourned after the previously scheduled matters have been attended to so that the increase in capitalization can be considered on April 12, 2012. The Company proposes an ordinary resolution to increase the authorized capital to 200 million common shares from the current 100 million common shares, and a special resolution to amend the Notice of Articles of the Company to increase its authorized capital to an unlimited number of common shares. An addendum to the materials previously mailed for the March 29, 2012 meeting, which provides more information regarding these two resolutions, is being mailed to shareholders and has been filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
In addition, Legend Power wishes to provide an update on the brokered private placement (the "Offering"), previously announced on January 19, 2012. Ionic Securities Ltd. (the "Agent") has advised the Company that it intends to partially exercise its over-allotment option and the Offering, therefore, is expected to be of over 12,500,000 units of Legend Power ("Units") at a price of $0.08 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of over $1 million. Each Unit will consist of one common share of Legend Power (a "Share") and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Share at a price of $0.15 per Share for a period of 18 months following the closing of the Offering, subject to accelerated expiry as described in the January 19, 2012 news release. The exercise of the Warrants (and the compensation warrants issuable to the Agent and described in the January 19, 2012 news release) will be conditional upon either: (a) shareholder approval of an increase in the authorized capital so as to allow for the exercise of all outstanding convertible securities of Legend Power (including the Warrants and the compensation warrants issuable under the Offering); or (b) the date on which a sufficient number of outstanding convertible securities of Legend Power expire so that all outstanding convertible securities of Legend Power (including the Warrants and Compensation Warrants issuable under the Offering) can be exercised within Legend Power's current authorized capital. If these conditions are not satisfied before the date that is 18 months following the closing of the Offering, then Legend Power will redeem the Warrants at a redemption price of $0.0001 per outstanding Warrant. The Company expects that the Offering will close on or about March 30, 2012.
