Solar Stock News: UGE (TSXV: UGE) (OTCQB: UGEIF) Announces Closing of $2.225M Private Placement of Project Development Debenture Units

Toronto, Ontario – July 28, 2022 (Investorideas.com Newswire) UGE International Ltd. (TSXV: UGE) (OTCQB: UGEIF) (the “Company” or “UGE”), a leader in the commercial and community solar sector, is pleased to announce that it has closed the brokered “best efforts” private placement of debenture units of the Company (the “Green Debentures”) previously disclosed in the Company’s July 5, 2022 press release, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,225,000 (the “Offering”). The Offering was led by Canaccord Genuity Corp, on behalf of a syndicate of agents including PI Financial Corp. and IA Securities (collectively, the “Agents”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of an agency agreement (the “Agency Agreement”) entered into on the Closing Date by the Company and the Agents.

The Green Debentures mature four years from the closing date of the Offering (the “Closing Date”) and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears calculated on the last calendar day of June and December, commencing December 31, 2022, and are secured against a pool of the Company’s solar development projects. The Green Debentures are issued pursuant to a trust indenture (“Trust Indenture”) entered into on the Closing Date with Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as debenture trustee and collateral agent thereunder. In accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture, UGE has covenanted to maintain a minimum coverage ratio of the total aggregate value of the secured projects equal to 150% of the aggregate amount of obligations outstanding under the Green Debentures.

Purchasers of the Green Debentures also received, for each Green Debenture purchased, 70 common share purchase warrants of the Company (each, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) at an exercise price of $1.50 for a period of 18 months from the Closing Date. The Warrants are issued pursuant to a common share purchase warrant indenture entered into on the Closing Date with TSX Trust Company, as warrant agent thereunder.

In consideration for the Agents’ services under the Agency Agreement, the Company paid to the Agents at closing a fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Green Debentures and 66,750 common share purchase warrants of the Company (each, an “Agents’ Warrant”), with each Agents’ Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $1.50 (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances) for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date. The Company also reimbursed the Agents on the Closing Date for their reasonable expenses in connection with the Offering.

Net proceeds from the Offering will be utilized for the development of solar projects of UGE and its subsidiaries. The Green Debentures, the Warrants and the Agents’ Warrants are subject to a four month hold period from their date of issuance. The Company intends to seek to list the Green Debentures for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) after the four month hold period expires, on a best efforts basis.
