NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Indico Resources Ltd. (" Indico " or the " Company ") (TSX VENTURE:IDI) announces that further to the closing of the convertible debentures (the " Convertible Debentures ") private placement with Stonehouse Construction Private Limited (" Stonehouse ") as announced in the Company's news release of July 25, 2013, the Company intends to settle an aggregate of $12,633.43 in debt (the " Loan ") representing the interest on the loan advanced by Stonehouse to the Company under the Convertible Debentures and certain other debt relating to foreign exchange charges.
The Company will settle the Loan by issuing a total of 210,556 units (the " Units ") to Stonehouse at a deemed price of $0.06 per Unit (the " Shares for Debt "). Each Unit will be comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (a " Share ") and one common share purchase warrant (a " Warrant "). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $0.10 per Share for a period of two years from July 24, 2013, the date of conversion of the Convertible Debentures, subject to Indico's right to accelerate the exercise of the Warrants in the event the closing price of the Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the " TSX-V ") is equal to or exceeds $0.30 per Share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days between the expiry date of the four month hold period and the date of expiry of the Warrants.
In light of the Company's current working capital position and in order to preserve capital to fund the development of the Company's projects, the Company has agreed to the conversion of the Loan into Units, subject to the approval of the TSX-V.
All securities issued in connection with the Shares for Debt Settlement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from either (i) the date of issuance of the underlying Convertible Debentures; or (ii) the date of issuance of the Units, in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
Closing of the Shares for Debt Settlement is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, including the TSX-V.
