Chilean Metals Announces Debt Agreement
Chilean Metals Announces Debt Agreement
Toronto, ON. October 8, 2020. Chilean Metals Inc. (“Chilean Metals,” “CMX” or the “Company”) (TSX.V:CMX,
SSE:CMX, MILA: CMX) has entered into an agreement with a related party on the extension of $702,000 worth
of debentures and advances (that are otherwise due or past due) for a further term of two years. This amended
loan agreement and bonus warrants (described below) is subject to TSXV approval. The loan will carry an
interest rate of 14% per annum and will be prepaid for year 1, with the interest added to the principal. Should
Chilean Metals not pay off the debenture during year 2, the loan will carry forward interest only in arrears and
be due on October 8, 2022.
In consideration of the extension, the related party will be granted 5,000,000 bonus warrants, exercisable at
$0.14 per share for a period of 2 years.
“Our largest shareholder, Mr. Sam Stern, has participated in the equity round we just closed and this investment
combined with the exercise of these warrants would give Mr. Stern a non-diluted ownership position of 16.7%.
Mr. Stern could not take all equity in this most recent round as it would have put him significantly over the
20% threshold beyond which a takeover bid is required. We are comfortable that these terms are fair to the
Company and to Mr. Stern. The combination of the Debenture and the equity financing places the Company in
the best financial condition it has been in some years,” commented Chilean Metals CEO Terry Lynch.
The debt agreemen t and proposed issuance of bonus warrants is considered a related party transaction
because it is being conducted with an insider of the Company. The related party transaction is anticipated to
be exempt from formal valuation requirements and minority shareholder approval pursuant to the exemptions
contained in Sections 5.5(1)(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101.
CMX wishes to acknowledge that the TSXV has provided final approval to the previously announced $3,017,525
financing (the “Offering”). Certain insider and officers of the Company did participate in the offering. Their
participation in the Offering is considered a “related party transaction” within the meaning of TSX Venture
Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61 -101 – Protection of Minority S ecurity Holders in Special
Transactions (“MI 61-101“). The related party transaction is exempt from formal valuation requirements and
minority shareholder approval pursuant to the exemptions contained in Sections 5.5(1)(b) and 5.7(1)(b) of MI
61-101, as the investment made by each of them did not exceed $2,500,000.
Finally, the board of CMX has granted to Directors, Officers, Employees and Consultants of the Company stock
options for 3,950,000 options under the CMX option plan. The opt ions are exercisable for five years and the
exercise price set for the options was $0.14.
