Altiplano Announces Proposed Debt Financing With Bonus Shares
August 30, 2024
Edmonton, Alberta, August 30, 2024 – Altiplano Metals Inc. (TSXV: APN) (“Altiplano” or the “Company”) has arranged debt financing by way of an interest bearing loan (the “Loan”) from a company controlled by insiders of the Company (the “Lender”) in the amount of $450,000 Canadian dollars.
Under the terms of the debt financing, the Loan will bear interest at 12% per annum and will be repayable by the Company commencing twelve months after the date of advance (the “Maturity Date”). On August 1, 2025, the Company expects to pay to the Lender only the accrued interest on the Loan, and then will repay the Loan in 12 equal monthly blended instalments of principal and interest on the first business day of each month thereafter from cash flow generated from the Company’s operations, conditional of course upon a positive cashflow.
As compensation to the Lenders for the risk of repayment of the Loan, Altiplano will issue bonus common shares equal to 20% of the principal amount loaned by the Lender divided by an issue price of $0.085 per share, or up to a maximum of 1,058,823 common shares. The proceeds of the debt financing will be used to pay off a current loan to the Company from an arms-length creditor of $299,160 USD ($408,922 CAD), with the remaining funds to be applied towards the Company’s year-end audit fees.
