Uranium One Inc. Announces Termination of Debentures and Application to Cease to be a Reporting Issuer
TORONTO, Jan. 30, 2015 /CNW/ - Uranium One Inc. ("Uranium One" or the "Corporation") today announced that it plans to discharge its outstanding unsecured subordinated debentures. The debentures, of which C$32.524 million principal amount is outstanding, are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") under the symbol "UUU.DB.A." and are scheduled to mature on March 13, 2015.
The Corporation intends to discharge the trust indenture governing the debentures, and to immediately terminate the debentures, as of February 5, 2015. Uranium One will pay to debentureholders of record as of that date the principal amount of the debentures, plus the interest payments on the debentures through to their scheduled maturity date. The funds will be deposited with the indenture trustee. As soon as it is practical after the discharge, the debentures will be de-listed from the TSX.
In connection with the termination of the debentures, Uranium One applied to the securities regulatory authorities in each of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador for a decision deeming it to have ceased to be a reporting issuer in such jurisdictions.
If the requested decision is made by the securities regulatory authorities, the Corporation will cease being a reporting issuer in any jurisdiction in Canada and, as a result, will no longer be required to file financial statements and other continuous disclosure documents with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The Corporation will continue to make the disclosures required to the holders of its remaining securities outstanding, being its Ruble Bonds Series 1 and 2 and the Senior Secured Notes issued by Uranium One Investments Inc.
