Uranium Resources to Retire $8M Indebtedness with RCF
CENTENNIAL, Colo., Dec. 05, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Uranium Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq: URRE ) (ASX:URI), an energy metals development company, announced today a deal to retire its $8 million in indebtedness due to Resource Capital Fund V L.P. (RCF). Under the deal, an investor has purchased an initial $2.5 million amount of notes from RCF and has entered into an agreement to exchange these notes for shares of URI’s common stock. The investor has also agreed to purchase the remaining $5.5 million of notes from RCF and exchange such notes for shares of URI’s common stock subject to certain conditions, as described below. Concurrently, RCF has also agreed to extend the maturity date for the indebtedness from December 31, 2016 until March 31, 2017 in order to allow the process to be completed in an orderly fashion.
Christopher M. Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “With the execution of these agreements and with the anticipated favorable support of the stockholders, URI can be debt free after the process completes in the spring of 2017, allowing us to invest in the growth of our business. We appreciate the efforts by RCF in making this major improvement to our balance sheet possible. In spite of difficult capital markets, URI has been able to fundamentally change our business model – both from a financial perspective and from a growth perspective with our energy metals development business.”
The retirement of the indebtedness will occur in two tranches:
Tranche 1 initially consists of approximately $2.5 million in URI shares to be issued to the investor over a 75-day pricing period, which commenced on December 5, 2016. Pricing of these shares will be calculated on the basis of the VWAP over the pricing period. The investor may acquire additional notes from RCF and exchange them for shares during the first pricing period so long as the total number of shares issued by URI does not exceed 19.9% of URI’s outstanding common stock.
Tranche 2 will consist of the exchange of the remaining notes over a second 75-day pricing period, which period will commence following stockholder approval of the issuance of additional shares of URI’s common stock pursuant to Nasdaq rules, which is anticipated to occur by February 2017.
Throughout the two tranche process, the investor has agreed to maintain its ownership of URI shares at less than 10% of URI’s outstanding shares.
A complete description of the agreement between URI, RCF and the investor will be set forth in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
