Almonty Industries Inc. ("Almonty" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:ALM) (TSX:AII) (ASX: AII) (Frankfurt: ALI1) today announced its intention to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2031 (the "notes") in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Almonty also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the notes are first issued, up to an additional $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of notes.
The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Almonty, will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears and will mature on July 1, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Noteholders will have the right to convert their notes in certain circumstances and during specified periods. Almonty will settle conversions by delivering common shares, or may choose to pay or deliver, as applicable, either cash or a combination of cash and common shares, at Almonty's election.
The notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at Almonty's option at any time, and from time to time, on or after July 1, 2029 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per common share exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. In addition, the notes will be redeemable, in whole and not in part, at Almonty's option at any time in connection with certain changes in tax law. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
If certain corporate events that constitute a "fundamental change" occur, then, subject to a limited exception, Almonty will be required to offer to each noteholder to repurchase its notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.
The interest rate, initial conversion rate and other terms of the notes will be determined at the pricing of the offering.
