Olympus Pacific places $14.6 million four-year 8% convertible notes

Callable notes sold by Euro Pacific in units that include two warrants

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., May 9 - Olympus Pacific Minerals Inc. sold $14.6 million of four-year 8% convertible redeemable notes in a private placement on May 7. Euro Pacific Capital Inc. was the agent.

The notes are convertible into common shares. The conversion price is $0.51 per share, which is a 22.89% premium over the company's $0.415 closing share price on May 6 on the OTC Bulletin Board.

The notes were sold in units. Each unit consists of one note with a $1.00 face amount and two warrants. One of the warrants is immediately exercisable for 0.9804 common shares at a price of C$0.55 until the maturity date of the notes, and the other is exercisable for 1.9608 common shares at a price of C$0.50 if the notes are called for redemption.

The warrant strike prices are premiums of 41.03% and 28.21%, respectively, to the company's C$0.39 closing share price on May 6 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The proceeds will be used to fund the company's development, exploration and acquisition plans in Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines.

A similar private placement of units closed on May 5. It totaled C$15 million. The warrants were the same, and the conversion price of the notes was C$0.50.

Toronto-based Olympus Pacific is a gold exploration company.
