“The net proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option will be used for debt repayment, new investments and for general corporate purposes,” Firm Capital said.
At an interest rate of 5% per annum, the debentures are payable semi-annually in arrears on the last day of March and September every year, beginning on March 31, 2022, and maturing on Sept. 30, 2028. These debentures are not redeemable before Sept. 30, 2024.
“Subject to specified conditions, the corporation has the right to repay the outstanding principal amount of the debentures, on maturity or redemption, through the issuance of shares,” Firm Capital said. “The corporation also has the option to satisfy its obligation to pay interest through the issuance and sale of shares.”
