UrtheCast Announces Mutual Termination of Credit Agreement

VANCOUVER, Feb. 14, 2019 /CNW/ - UrtheCast Corp. (TSX: UR) ("UrtheCast" or the "Company") announces that UrtheCast, Deimos Imaging, S.L.U. ("Deimos Imaging"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UrtheCast, UrtheDaily Funding L.P. (the "Lender") and U.S. Bank National Association have entered into a mutual termination agreement (the "Termination Agreement") dated February 13, 2019 which formally terminates the credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") dated as of May 18, 2018 among the parties.

Under the Termination Agreement, UrtheCast has agreed that in lieu of all termination fees otherwise payable under the Credit Agreement, the approximately 14 million warrants issued to the Lender on execution of the Credit Agreement, having an exercise price of $0.48, an expiry date of May 25, 2023 and substantially similar terms and conditions as the warrants issued by UrtheCast in connection with its subordinated capital financing in May 2018, will become exercisable upon alternative financing for the UrtheDaily Constellation being secured and drawn down, subject to approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange. In addition, UrtheCast has agreed to pay the expenses of the Lender in connection with the Credit Agreement in the amount of approximately $325,000 in installments due on February 28, 2019, March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019. 

The termination of the Credit Agreement will not impede or adversely impact UrtheCast's ability to service its customers and will allow UrtheCast to seek alternative financing for the UrtheDaily Constellation with greater structural and operational flexibility, although there can be no assurance that alternative financing will be obtained on more flexible terms or at all. Management believes the recent acquisition of Geosys and the significant binding contractual commitments for UrtheDaily data validates the business case of the UrtheDaily Constellation.
