(TSX.V:RE) (OTCQX:RROYF) ('RE Royalties' or the 'Company'),a global leader in renewable energy royalty-based financing, is pleased to announce the successful initial closing (the 'Initial Closing') of its marketed public offering (the 'Public Offering') of Series 3 senior secured green bonds of the Company (the 'Green Bonds'), as previously announced on December 9, 2022.
Pursuant to the Initial Closing, the Company issued 5,115 Canadian dollar denominated Green Bonds, with a principal amount of C$1,000 per Green Bond for aggregate gross proceeds of C$5,115,000 and 17 United States dollar denominated Green Bonds, with a principal amount of USD$1,000 per Green Bond for aggregate gross proceeds of US$17,000.
The Green Bonds will have a term of five years and bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum, payable quarterly, and will be senior obligations of the Company secured against the Company's portfolio of royalty and loan investments. The Green Bonds were issued under a supplemental trust indenture dated January 30, 2023 (the 'Supplemental Indenture') to the Company's existing green bond trust indenture (the 'Indenture') dated August 10, 2020 with Western Pacific Trust Company, as trustee. A copy of the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture are available on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
Net proceeds from the Green Bonds will be utilized to acquire revenue-based royalties and/or provide loans to privately held and publicly traded renewable energy companies. The Company has prepared a Green Bond Framework that is aligned with the International Capital Market Association Green Bond Principles (2018), which framework is available on the Company's website, here.
Canaccord Genuity Corp. acted as the sole bookrunner and co-lead agent alongside Integral Wealth Securities Limited as co-lead agent (together, the 'Agents'). In connection with the Initial Closing, the Company paid the Agents a cash fee of C$358,050 and USD$1,190 and issued to the Agents 239,493 warrants (the 'Broker Warrants').
