New Issue: Mogo Finance to raise C$15 million from best-efforts sale of 10% convertible debentures

By Stephanie N. Rotondo

Seattle, May 25 – Mogo Finance Technology Inc. brought a best-efforts public offering of up to C$15 million of 10% senior secured convertible debentures due May 31, 2020, the company said in a press release on Thursday.

Mackie Research Capital Corp., Cormark Securities Inc., Canaccord Genuity Inc., Haywood Securities Inc. and M Partners Inc. are acting as the deal’s agents.

There is a C$2.25 million two-day over-allotment option.

Conversions will be settled in cash, stock or both. The conversion rate is 200 shares per each C$1,000 of notes, or C$5.00 a share. That equals an initial conversion premium of 38.5%.

The company can force an early conversion is the stock hits a 115% price hurdle. Additionally, it can redeem the issue after one year at par plus accrued interest, including a make-whole premium. After two years, the redemption price is par plus accrued interest.

The debentures are convertible, at the holder’s option, at any time prior to maturity or upon a change of control.

Proceeds will be used to fund the growth of the company’s loan portfolio.

Mogo Finance is a Vancouver, B.C.-based financial technology company.
