Golden Bridge Mining Corporation announces closing of non-brokered private placement financing
TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE: GBM
TORONTO, Dec. 5, 2013 /CNW/ - Golden Bridge Mining Corporation ("Golden Bridge" or the "Company") (TSX-V: GBM), a company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), is pleased to announce that it has completed its non-brokered private placement financing (the "Offering") for total gross proceeds of $340,900 consisting of 174,000 flow-through common shares (the "Flow-Through Shares") at a price of $0.35 per Flow-Through Share for gross proceeds to Golden Bridge of $60,900, and $280,000 principal amount of unsecured convertible debentures (the "Convertible Debentures").
The Convertible Debentures will mature on December 5, 2016 (the "Maturity Date"), will bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum payable semi-annually, and will be convertible into common shares at the holder's option at any time prior to the Maturity Date at a conversion price of $0.35 per common share.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund Golden Bridge's mineral exploration programs and for general working capital purposes. Cash fees equal to up to 8% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised under the Offering are payable as finder's fees to certain persons at arm's length to Golden Bridge.
As disclosed in a press release dated October 30, 2013, one existing insider participated in the Offering namely, Charles Qin, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of Golden Bridge. By virtue of Mr. Qin's participation, the Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" under applicable securities laws. The Company released a material change report on November 4, 2013 including details with respect to the related party transaction less than 21 days prior to the anticipated closing date, which the Company deemed reasonable in the circumstances so as to be able to avail itself of potential financing opportunities and complete the Offering in an expeditious manner. Because the related party transaction was not expected to exceed specified limits, constituted a distribution of securities for cash, and because the Company is not listed on certain specified exchanges, neither a formal valuation nor minority shareholder approval was required in connection with the Offering.
The Flow-Through Shares and Convertible Debentures are subject to statutory resale restrictions until April 6, 2014. Closing of the Offering remains subject to receipt of regulatory approval, including final approval of the TSXV.
