Permex Petroleum Corporation announced a private placement of convertible debenture units for gross proceeds of up to $20,000,000 on February 28, 2024. Each Unit will consist of one convertible debenture in the principal amount of $1,000 and one common share purchase warrant. Each Warrant will be exercisable for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance for one common share of the company at an exercise price equal to 120% of the market price of the shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange at the time of issuance of the Units.

The Debentures will mature on the earlier of one-year from the date of issuance or three-months from the date of issuance if the company does not enter into a securities exchange, unit purchase or merger agreement with a third party to the reasonable satisfaction of a majority of the holders of Debentures. The Debentures will bear simple interest at a rate of 10%, payable on the Maturity Date or the date on which all or any portion of the Debenture is repaid. Interest will be paid in cash or shares based on a conversion price of $3.41, subject to Exchange approval.

At any time during the term, a holder of Debentures may elect to convert the outstanding principal and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon into shares at the conversion price. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering and underlying securities will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws of jurisdictions outside of Canada. The units being offered in the Offering will be offered only to persons who either qualify as an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
