Rainmaker Entertainment Announces Closing Of Rights Offering And Concurrent Private Placement

rainmaker entertainmentRainmaker Entertainment Inc. has announced that it has completed its previously announced rights offering of unsecured convertible debentures (“Debentures”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,726,000 (the “Rights Offering”). Concurrent with the Rights Offering, Rainmaker also issued an aggregate of $425,000 principal amount of Debentures pursuant to its previously announced private placement (the “Private Placement”).

The Debentures

The Debentures accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum payable quarterly in arrears and are convertible into common shares of Rainmaker at a price of $0.20 per share. The Debentures will mature on March 31, 2016 and are governed by the terms of an indenture between Rainmaker and Computershare Trust Company of Canada.

The Debentures issued under the Private Placement are subject to applicable statutory hold periods of four months and one day.

Investment and Backstop Commitments

An aggregate of $2,416,000 principal amount of Debentures were issued to standby purchasers in respect of their base subscription commitments under the standby purchase and investment agreement (the “Standby Agreement”) dated February 13, 2013 between Rainmaker, certain funds managed by McElvaine Investment Management Ltd., Chou Associates Management Inc. and Stacey Muirhead Capital Management, and Cavan Consulting Limited (“Cavan”). An additional aggregate of $1,606,000 principal amount of Debentures were issued to the standby purchasers in respect of their backstop commitment under the Standby Agreement. Of these, $275,000 principal amount of Debentures were subscribed for under the Private Placement by Craig Graham, Rainmaker’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and a director, officer and shareholder of Cavan. No fee is payable to any party in respect of the backstop commitment.

Shareholder Consent

In order to retain the conversion price of $0.20 per share for Debentures issued in connection with the Private Placement (which fell outside the applicable maximum discount permitted by the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange), Rainmaker was required to obtain security holder approval from a majority of holders of Rainmaker’s common shares excluding shareholders participating in the Private Placement. Rainmaker has obtained such shareholder approval via written consent of shareholders owning more than 50% of the common shares of Rainmaker in accordance with section 604(d) of the Toronto Stock Exchange Company Manual.

Use of Proceeds

The proceeds of the Rights Offering and the Private Placement will be used to fund Rainmaker’s commitments in respect of the feature length animated film production which it has agreed to co-invest in and co-produce and for working capital purposes.

Further Details

Further details regarding the Rights Offering and the Private Placement are available in the prospectus dated February 28, 2013 (as amended on April 4, 2013) filed on SEDAR and in the press releases issued by Rainmaker on February 19, 2013 and March 1, 2013, respectively.
