SASKATOON, SK, Nov. 12, 2015 /CNW/ - 49 North Resources Inc. ("49 North" or the "Company") (TSXV: FNR) announces the exchange of its 9% Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debentures due September 23, 2016 (the "Debentures") for 150 common shares (the "Common Shares") of the Company, 25 first preferred series 2 shares (the "Preferred Shares") of the Company and $25 principal amount of a new series of the 2.5% senior secure convertible debenture (the "Senior Debentures") per $100 principal amount of Debentures, in full and final settlement of the underlying principal amount of the Debentures and all interest accrued thereon, was approved this morning at a meeting of debentureholders (the "Meeting"). The restructuring also provides that certain Debentures held in accounts with restrictions that prohibit investment in equity securities such as the Common Shares and Preferred Shares ("Restricted Debentures") will be exchanged for a combination of Senior Debentures and new 2.5% subordinated secured convertible debentures (the "Subordinated Debentures") created for the purposes of the transaction. Restricted Debentures will be exchanged for Senior Debentures on a dollar for dollar basis up to the maximum principal amount of the indenture for the Senior Debentures (taking into account Senior Debentures to be issued to the holders of Debentures that are not Restricted Debentures), and thereafter the Restricted Debentures will be exchanged for Subordinated Debentures, again on a dollar for dollar basis.

At the Meeting, 36.69% of the total outstanding Debentures were voted, and 99.42% of the votes cast were in favour. The restructuring will be effective on the date the Company completes the amendment of its articles to create the Preferred Shares, enters into a first supplemental trust indenture for the Senior Debentures, enters into the trust indenture of the Subordinated Debentures and issues the Common Shares, Preferred Shares, Senior Debentures and Subordinated Debentures, as applicable, to the holders of Debentures in exchange for their existing Debentures.  Implementation of the restructuring is also subject to receipt of final acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange. The transaction is expected to close by November 30, 2015.

49 North is pleased with the results of the meeting, as it will allow the Company to once again focus its efforts on day to day operations and the continued repositioning of the Company's assets to take advantage of a recovery in the junior resource exploration industry. This restructuring, along with the restructuring of the former Series B 9% Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debentures completed in June of 2016 (see news release dated June 2, 2015) is a large step in ensuring the future viability of 49 North.

The Debentures have been halted and will be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange as part of the closing of the restructuring.49 North is a Saskatchewan focused resource investment company with strategic operations in financial, managerial and geological advisory services and merchant banking.
