TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 16, 2019 / Rupert Resources Ltd. ("Rupert" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed an application to amend the terms of its 5.00% secured convertible debentures with an outstanding aggregate principal amount of CAD$7,705,000 (the "Convertible Debentures") issued pursaunt to the Company's private placement of the Convertible Debentures which closed on September 6, 2016. The Convertible Debentures are governed by a convertible debenture indenture dated September 6, 2016 (the "Convertible Debenture Indenture") between the Company and Computershare Trust Company of Canada as the trustee (the "Convertible Debenture Trustee").
The amendment will decrease the conversion price at which each Convertible Debenture will be convertible into common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") from CAD$0.95 per Common Share to CAD$0.85 per Common Share. Each Convertible Debenture will continue to mature on September 6, 2019 and will be convertible at any time until maturity.
James Withall, CEO commented: "The expected removal of the convertible debenture simplifies the Rupert capital structure, reflects strong support from the bondholders in Rupert's strategy and leaves them well positioned to benefit from any future exploration success at Pahtavaara."
The amendment remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). Upon receipt of the TSXV's approval, the Company intends to execute a supplemental indenture with the Convertible Debenture Trustee, amending the terms of the Convertible Debenture Indenture to address the reduction in the conversion price.

The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
