Olympus Pacific settles placement of C$15 million convertible notes

Company sells units of 8% four-year convertibles with two warrants

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., May 5 - Olympus Pacific Minerals Inc. said it completed a C$15 million private placement of convertible unsecured redeemable notes. The deal was announced as a C$12 million offering on March 25 with an C$8 million greenshoe.

The 8% four-year notes will convert to common shares at C$0.50 per share. The conversion price is a 28.21% premium to the May 4 closing share price of C$0.39.

The notes were sold in 150 units, with each unit consisting of C$100,000 in notes and two warrants. Of the units, 30 were part of the partially exercised greenshoe.

The first four-year warrant is exercisable for 100,000 shares at C$0.55. The strike price reflects a 41.03% premium to the May 4 closing price. The second warrant is exercisable only if the company calls the note and will then be exercisable for 200,000 shares at C$0.50, a 28.21% premium to the May 4 price, until four years after settlement.

Euro Pacific Capital Inc. was the agent.

A similar private placement of units comprised of 8% unsecured and redeemable notes convertible at $0.51 per common share and including warrants exercisable at C$0.55, with expected gross proceeds of between $8 million and $15 million, is expected to close in mid-May.

Proceeds of both deals will be used for development, exploration and acquisition plans in Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines.

Toronto-based Olympus Pacific is a gold exploration company focused on properties in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
