VANCOUVER, BC, December 20th, 2005 - IP Applications Corp. (TSX-Venture: IPX), a leading IP solutions provider, today announced that it has closed the non-brokered private placement previously announced on November 29, 2005 with Pender Financial Group Corporation and Pender Growth Fund (VCC) Inc. (together, the “Investorsâ€) raising gross proceeds of $500,000 of which $375,000 was raised from Growth Fund (VCC) Inc. and the balance from Pender Financial Group Corporation.
The securities issued consist of convertible secured debentures due in 18 months on June 19, 2007 with an interest rate of 12% per annum calculated and paid quarterly in cash. Should the Company complete a financing in excess of $1.5 million before February 28th, 2006 (“Qualifying Financingâ€), each Investor will have the right to either a) convert their debentures on the same terms and conditions as the Qualifying Financing; or b) have their debentures redeemed in full by the Company.
If a Qualifying Financing does not occur, each Investor may convert its debentures into units at $0.40 with each unit consisting of one common share and one-half share purchase warrant with each full warrant exercisable into common shares at a price of $0.50 for a period of 12 months from issuance and at a price of $0.55 for the period 13-24 months from issuance.
Further, each Investor will be issued 2.5 bridge warrants for every $1 of debenture purchased. Each whole bridge warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.50 for a period of 12 months from closing and at a price of $0.55 for the period 13-24 months from closing. The maximum number of warrants issued pursuant to the transaction shall not exceed 1,875,000 warrants.
The securities issued pursuant to the private placement are subject to a 4 month hold period expiring on April 20, 2006. In the event that IP Applications Corp. completes the Qualifying Financing and the Investors choose to convert their debentures on the same terms and conditions as the Qualifying Financing, the securities issued to the Investors pursuant to the Qualifying Financing will be subject to a 4 month hold period commencing on the date the securities are distributed to the Investors.
The net proceeds from the private placement will be used for operating working capital.
