Hudson Resources and Lenders Agree to Plan for Debt Restructuring and Capital Injection Into the White Mountain Anorthosite M...
11 Juin 2020 - 3:00PM
HUDSON RESOURCES INC. (“
Hudson” or the
“
Company”) (TSX Venture Exchange “HUD”; OTC
“HUDRF”) is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement in
principle with Cordiant Capital and Apex Asset Management AG (the
"
Lenders") to restructure the outstanding debt on
the White Mountain Anorthosite mine and to provide an injection of
working capital into Hudson Greenland A/S to ensure the stability
of the mine going forward. The details of a definitive
agreement are currently being finalized and the terms will include
the extension of the maturity of the Company’s debt with the
Lenders.
This new finance plan demonstrates the Lenders'
commitment to Hudson, the Government of Greenland and Hudson’s
shareholders, who will benefit from this new agreement. Under the
terms of the plan, the Lenders will become partners going forward
which will help the Company realize the true value of this unique
anorthosite mine and its many green applications. The Lenders
will hold two of the four board seats on Hudson Greenland A/S, the
Greenlandic operating company which holds the White Mountain
exploitation license. The other two seats will be held by
Hudson Resources and Greenland Venture A/S, a Greenland government
investment fund which owns eight million shares in Hudson
Resources.
This new structure and capital injection will
not dilute Hudson Resources shareholders, while allowing them to
share in the upside of the White Mountain mine. The details of the
final agreement are being negotiated with the Lenders and will be
subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Jim Cambon, President commented: “We are very
pleased that we have come to an agreement in principle with our
lenders to put a debt and working capital structure in place to
ensure the stability of our White Mountain operation, while not
diluting Hudson Resources shareholders. Our anorthosite
product has tremendous opportunities in several of our target
applications and this new finance package will give us the time and
funds to realize the value of this project”.
Hudson has commenced plans to move the mine from
care and maintenance to full operations starting later this
month. There are still some travel restrictions due to the
global pandemic and Hudson is working with the Greenland government
to obtain permission for workers to travel to the site.
Hudson owns and operates the White Mountain
(Qaqortorsuaq) anorthosite mine in Greenland through its wholly
owned subsidiary, Hudson Greenland A/S. Hudson Resources also
holds 100% of the Sarfartoq rare earth element (REE) and niobium
exploration license in Greenland.
Hudson and its Lenders are working
collaboratively and are committed to completing a transaction in
order to restructure Hudson Greenland's debt and provide working
capital for the White Mountain mine; however, the agreement in
principle does not contain a legal obligation on the part of either
Hudson or the Lenders to consummate the debt restructuring
transaction. There can be no assurance that the debt restructuring
will be completed as described in this news
release.
