New York, Nov. 15 - Associated Brands Income Fund said it has concluded its previously announced private placement for C$11.75 million.
The company issued to Torquest Partners Value Fund, LP and Torquest Partners Value Fund (Parallel Partnership No. 1) LP C$10 million of the debentures, and trustees of Associated Brands Operating Trust bought the remainder.
The 9% debentures mature Sept. 30, 2008 and are exchangeable for fund units at C$4.00 each.
Torquest has the option to buy another C$15 million in debentures within the next 90 days.
The deal was first announced Oct. 14 as a C$10 million offering.
