NGEx Announces Credit Facility

VANCOUVER, Oct. 5, 2018 /CNW/ - NGEx Resources Inc. ("NGEx" or the "Company") (TSX:NGQ) (Nasdaq Stockholm:NGQ) is pleased to announce that it has secured an $5 million credit facility (the "Facility") from Zebra Holdings and Investments S.à.r.l., Luxembourg (the "Lender"), a company owned by a trust whose settlor was the late Adolf H. Lundin. The Lender is an insider of NGEx.  All amounts are stated in U.S. dollars ("$"). View PDF version

The Facility is evidenced by a debenture (the "Debenture") which is unsecured and is due on or before October 5, 2019, being twelve months from the date of the Debenture (the "Maturity Date"). No interest is payable in cash during the term of the Debenture.  Any amount of the Facility remaining unpaid and outstanding on or after the Maturity Date, however, shall bear interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum until repaid in full.

Proceeds from the Facility will be used to provide additional financial flexibility to fund general corporate purposes.

The terms of the Facility include the Company issuing to the Lender, subject to approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange, an aggregate of 28,000 Common Shares as consideration for the Facility in lieu of fees. The Company will also issue an additional 500 Common Shares per month for each $50,000 of the Facility drawn down and outstanding until the Maturity Date. All securities issued in conjunction with the Facility will be subject to a four-month hold period under applicable securities law. The Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms of the Debenture will be issued at a deemed price of $1.00 per share, being the closing price of the Corporation's Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on October 4, 2018.

The Facility constitutes a "related party transaction", as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The transactions will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any shares issued to or the consideration paid for the Debenture will exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein in the U.S., or in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or sale would be unlawful. The securities described herein have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any U.S. state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the U.S. or to the account or benefit of a U.S. person or a person in the U.S. absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as NGEx's actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in this forward-looking information as a result of the factors discussed in the "Risk Factors" section, and elsewhere, in NGEx's most recent Annual Information Form and NGEx's most recent Management Discussion and Analysis, which are available at www.sedar.com.
