Warnex in Negotiations to Extend Maturity Date of all its Outstanding Debentures and to Obtain Additional Financing
LAVAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Nov. 10, 2011) - Warnex Inc. (TSX:WNX) ("Warnex") announced today that it is currently in advanced negotiations to extend the maturity date of all of its outstanding convertible debentures (the "Existing Debentures") that have become due, and to obtain additional financing to cover current operating expenses as well as certain disbursements.
Warnex is not in a financial position to pay the principal and interest due on the Existing Debentures, all of which matured on November 8, 2011, and accordingly, is negotiating with the holders of the Existing Debentures to extend the maturity date and modify various other terms of the Existing Debentures. Warnex is also negotiating with Persistence Capital Partners ("PCP"), Warnex's largest shareholder and one of the holders of the Existing Debentures, to obtain additional financing, as well as to modify various terms, and waive certain provisions, of an existing credit support agreement pursuant to which PCP guarantees Warnex's obligations under its existing banking facilities.
Warnex shall issue a further press release following any material developments in the negotiations.
