CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / October 16, 2018 / Perisson Petroleum Corporation (''Perisson'' or the ''Company'') (TSX-V: POG) wishes to update its shareholders concerning the previously announced USD $50 million equity private placement and to announce the planned conversion of its secured debt.
Lan Cheng Limited, a private investment fund (the ''Fund''), is in the final stages of its due diligence work and has requested that the Company's debt be converted to equity prior to the closing of the previously announced USD $50 million equity private placement (the ''Financing''). The holders of the Company's outstanding $4,000,000 in secured debentures have agreed to convert their debt into common shares of the Company. The holders of the debentures will convert the total principal and all accrued interest outstanding, in the aggregate amount of approximately $5,319,980, at $0.16 per share (33,249,875 common shares), to be converted prior to the closing of the Financing.
The shares issued in connection with the Financing and on conversion of the debentures will be subject to a four month hold period and are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Lan Cheng Limited is an international private equity fund operating primarily in Shanghai and Hong Kong, China and Taipei, Taiwan. The Fund is a network of wealthy individuals, associated institutions and private equity groups which invest in large diverse projects on a project-by-project basis.
Completion of the Financing is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, TSXV acceptance. There can be no assurance that Financing will be completed as proposed or at all. Neither the TSXV nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSXV) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release. No stock exchange, securities commission or other regulatory authority has approved or disapproved of the information contained herein.
The Company continues to look for suitable oil and gas acquisitions, including farm-in candidates, and associated infrastructure, to leverage the Company's access to drilling capital, equipment and expertise. We look forward to developing partnerships with oil and gas companies with asset rich prospects that require significant funding to fully exploit. Perisson continues to work with CNOG for the acquisition of petroleum assets and petroleum product delivery into China.
