(TSX: AUG, NYSE AMERICAN: AUG) (“Auryn” or the “Company” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_jrxUZN-BE&t=506s ) is pleased to announce that it has closed the previously announced bridge loan facility (the “Bridge Loan”) for up to CAD $6 million. The first tranche of $3 million has been received by the Company and will be used to fund general working capital.
Bridge Loan Terms
The Bridge Loan consists of two tranches of $3 million, with the advancement of the second tranche conditional upon the mutual agreement of the parties.
The Bridge Loan will bear interest at 10% per annum and will be repayable no later than one year after the date of advancement (the “Maturity Date”); however, the Bridge Loan can be repaid at any time after 90 days of advancement at the discretion of the Company without penalty. The Bridge Loan is secured by a first charge general security agreement over all of the Company’s present and future assets.
In connection with the Bridge Loan, the Company has issued 500,000 bonus warrants which have a term of three years from the date of issue. Each warrant is exercisable into one common share of the Company at a price of $2.00 per common share but cannot be exercised until after the Maturity Date.
