Toronto, Ontario, August 7, 2023 – Invesque Inc. (TSX: IVQ.U and IVQ) (the “Company” or “Invesque”) today announced that in connection with the Company’s ongoing negotiations with its primary credit facility lender, KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank” or the “Lender”) to refinance or extend the maturity date on its existing credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) between the Company and KeyBank, it has agreed to certain payment restrictions in an amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Amendment”).
The Amendment includes a restriction on the amount that the Company will pay debentureholders towards the partial redemption currently scheduled to occur on September 30, 2023 (“Partial Redemption”) of the Company’s 8.75% convertible debentures due on September 30, 2026 (“8.75% Convertible Debentures”). Specifically, the Company is restricted under the terms of the Amendment from redeeming more than US$4.828 million (10% of the outstanding principal balance) of the principal amount of the 8.75% Convertible Debentures under the Partial Redemption.
“Negotiating an extension or refinance with KeyBank is our highest priority,” commented Adlai Chester, the recently named Chief Financial Officer of Invesque. “The Company continues to work closely with KeyBank to refinance the existing Credit Facility, and we are optimistic that all parties will work together to agree on terms in the near future.”
