Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 24 - 49 North Resources Inc. said it took in C$2.36 million through a private placement of convertible debentures on Thursday. It expects a second and final tranche in October.

The 8% three-year debentures are convertible into shares at C$4.00 per share if converted prior to Sept. 23, 2011, C$4.25 per share if converted on or after Sept. 23, 2011 and before Sept. 23, 2012 and C$4.50 per share if converted on or after Sept. 23, 2012.

The conversion prices reflect 128.57%, 142.86% and 157.14% premiums to the Sept. 22 closing share price of C$1.75.

The debentures may be redeemed early if the company pays a premium on the principal of 6% if redeemed prior to Sept. 23, 2011, 4% if redeemed on or after Sept. 23, 2011 but before Sept. 23, 2012 or 2% if redeemed on or after Sept. 23, 2012.
