Amalfi Capital Corp. Announces Amended Financing Terms and Consequential Amendments to Terms of Amalgamation

23/07/2010 11:57pm

Marketwired Canada


Amalfi Capital Corp. ("Amalfi" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:ALI.P)
announces amendments to the terms of the CDR Minerals Inc. ("CDR") brokered
private placement previously announced on May 17, 2010. Amalfi also announces
amendments (the "Consequential Amendments") to the terms of the amalgamation
agreement (the "Amalgamation Agreement") between Amalfi and CDR, in addition to
those terms previously announced on May 31, 2010. Pursuant to the Amalgamation
Agreement, Amalfi's wholly-owned subsidiary will amalgamate with CDR (the
"Business Combination") to continue as one company ("Amalco") under the Business
Corporations Act (Ontario). In connection with the successful completion of the
Business Combination, Amalfi will change its name to "Royal Coal Corp." (the
"Resulting Issuer") and its shares will begin trading on the TSX Venture
Exchange ("TSX Venture") under the symbol "RDA". 


CDR Private Placement Amendments and Proposed Shares for Debt Transaction

CDR intends to raise $4,606,000 in a private placement of 23,030,000 units (the
"Units") at a price of $0.20 per Unit (the "Private Placement"). Each Unit is
comprised of one common share of CDR (the "CDR Shares") and one common share
purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to
purchase one common share of CDR at a price of $0.20 for a period of five years
from the closing of the Private Placement. CDR has engaged Northern Securities
Inc. ("Northern Securities") as agent on a best efforts basis in connection with
the Private Placement and the previously announced "bought deal" financing will
not be proceeding.


Pursuant to the terms of the Private Placement, Northern Securities received an
engagement fee of $20,000 and was issued 125,000 CDR Shares. On closing,
Northern Securities and other placement agents will receive a commission of up
to 8% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Private Placement and will be
issued broker warrants equal to up to 10% of the number of Units sold pursuant
to the Private Placement. Each broker warrant will be exercisable to purchase
one Unit at $0.20 for a period of 60 months from the closing of the Private
Placement. 


The Private Placement is being completed in connection with the Business
Combination. The closing of the Private Placement is conditional on the
completion of the Business Combination and is expected to close in the next
week. CDR intends to use the gross proceeds of the Private Placement to fund its
current coal projects in the Central Appalachian Basin in the United States, for
repayment of debt, and for general working capital purposes.


CDR has also entered into agreements (the "CDR Debt Settlement") with two arm's
length third parties (the "Trade Creditors"), pursuant to which CDR has agreed
to issue 4,125,000 Units with an aggregate value of $825,000 to the Trade
Creditors in exchange for the cancellation of $825,000 in outstanding trade
payables. 


Amendments to Amalgamation Agreement

As a result of the Private Placement and in accordance with the Consequential
Amendments, Amalfi will now consolidate its shares on the basis of one new
Amalfi common share ("Amalfi Share") for every two existing Amalfi common shares
(instead of on the basis of one Amalfi Share for every three and a half existing
Amalfi common shares). As a result, shareholders of Amalfi will receive an
aggregate of 5,800,000 common shares of the Resulting Issuer ("Resulting Issuer
Shares") (instead of 3,866,666 Resulting Issuer Shares) after the completion of
the consolidation and the Business Combination, with a deemed price of $0.20 per
share (instead of $0.50 per share). In addition, each holder of an Amalfi Share
on a post consolidation basis will now receive 0.2857143 of a Resulting Issuer
new common share purchase warrant ("Resulting Issuer New Warrant") for each
Amalfi Share held, each whole warrant entitling the holder to acquire one
Resulting Issuer Share at a price of $0.20 per share for two years from the
closing of the Business Combination (instead of 0.4285714 of a Resulting Issuer
New Warrant for each Amalfi Share held with an exercise price of $0.50 per
share), resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 1,657,143 Resulting Issuer
New Warrants. Pursuant to the Business Combination, the 1,160,000 outstanding
Amalfi stock options ("Amalfi Options") will be replaced with 580,000 stock
options of the Resulting Issuer ("Resulting Issuer Amalfi Options"), each
entitling the holder to acquire one Resulting Issuer Share at a price of $0.20
per share until November 30, 2012 (instead of 331,429 Resulting Issuer Amalfi
Options with an exercise price of $0.35 per share). 


Amendments to Other Debt Arrangements 

Third Eye Capital Corporation ("TEC") and Juno Special Situations Corporation
("Juno") have agreed to amend the note purchase agreement dated September 30,
2009 between Juno and TEC (the "TEC Loan") and the corresponding note purchase
agreement dated September 30, 2009 between CDR and Juno (the "Juno Loan", and
together with the TEC loan the "Indebtedness") to waive certain covenants that
were not achieved by CDR, and establish updated financial and production,
interest and repayment covenants. From the proceeds from the Private Placement,
US$1,000,000 will be paid to reduce the Indebtedness (the "Closing Repayment")
and US$450,000, representing unpaid waiver fees, will be added to the
Indebtedness and the outstanding amount of the Indebtedness after payment of the
Closing Repayment will be US$5,750,000, plus the US$2 per ton royalty capped at
3,105,000 tons referenced in the Filing Statement. The royalty payment
commitment maturity date was extended from March 31, 2011 to January 31, 2012.


GC Global Capital Inc.'s convertible debenture with CDR in the amount of
$375,000 has been amended such that $25,000 will be paid on closing of the
Private Placement and the balance of the principal will be repaid over the
period ending December 31, 2011.


Upon closing of the Private Placement, CDR has also agreed to pay Cheyenne
Resources Inc. US$800,000 of the principal amount owing under its convertible
debentures with CDR (the "CDR Cheyenne Debentures"). The principal amount of the
CDR Cheyenne Debentures after this payment will be US$4,200,000 and the maturity
date of the CDR Cheyenne Debentures will be extended to January 31, 2012.


Operations Update

Mining at the Big Branch (Cheyenne) surface mine has been continuous since the
acquisition of the mine on October 1, 2009. CDR has averaged coal production of
30,553 tons per month over the past 8 months and the proceeds of the CDR Private
Placement will be used to increase production to a targeted 65,000 tons per
month beginning October 2010. CDR intends to make capital expenditures of
US$2,400,000 at the Big Branch (Cheyenne) surface mine as follows: US$950,000
will be expended on the current mining fleet to repair key components; the
balance of US$1,450,000 will be used to acquire additional equipment enabling
the production forecast of 65,000 tons per month beginning in October 2010.


Working Capital Projections

Based on current working capital projections, the Resulting Issuer's working
capital available to fund ongoing operations, together with its revenue from
operations and the proceeds of the Private Placement, is expected by management
of CDR to meet its work program and administration costs for a minimum of 18
months without further additional capital. The projections of CDR assume the
following factors: (a) coal production will be from the Big Branch (Cheyenne)
mine only; (b) coal production from the Big Branch (Cheyenne) mine of 34,000
tons per month initially and increasing to 65,000 tons per month beginning
October 2011; (c) further capital equipment expenditures of US$2,400,000 as
described above; (d) average coal prices of US$61 for the balance of 2010 and
US$69.50 in 2011 which are based on existing contracts and contract prices
currently being negotiated by CDR. The price assumptions of CDR for 2011 are
based on prevailing market prices and the forward price curve for CDR's grade of
coal. CDR is currently negotiating coal sales contracts for 2011 at the
projected prices; and (e) average mining costs per ton of US$54 for the balance
of 2010 and US$50 in 2011, which are based on actual costs of CDR experienced to
date and projected to the end of 2010. The average mining costs projected for
2010 are based on current costs of CDR adjusted for anticipated changes in
materials and labour. Significant risks to be considered include, without
limitation, the risk that CDR might not receive the prices for its coal that are
used in its projections; CDR's production costs coming in higher than expected;
CDR's production levels and availability (uptime) of the coal production
equipment being lower than expected; CDR being unable to acquire necessary
equipment for purchase or lease; non-cooperation of suppliers with respect to
significant accrued accounts payable; CDR not being able to renew its lease on
the Charlene rail load-out facility it uses to ship coal; CDR not meeting its
outstanding financial or payment covenants in relevant loan arrangements and
related future production targets; and the other factors discussed under "Risk
Factors" in the Filing Statement.


The minimum 18 month working capital projections of CDR assume that CDR will
exercise its option in March 2011 to convert the principal amount of the Juno
Loan into Resulting Issuer Shares. CDR's option to convert is subject to CDR
using its best efforts to find alternative financings to repay the Juno Loan in
cash, to CDR not being in default under the Juno Loan, and to increased royalty
payments to Juno of US$0.10 per ton of coal for each US$1,000,000 principal
amount of the Juno Loan converted. The Resulting Issuer will remain a guarantor
of Juno's debt obligations to TEC, an arm's length lender, in respect of which
CDR has granted a general security interest over its assets.


Amendment to Previous Financing

In accordance with their agreement with CDR, investors who subscribed for an
aggregate of 2,200,000 units of CDR at a price of $0.50 per unit in January 2010
(the "January Units"), will receive 3,300,000 CDR Shares for no additional
consideration (so they will hold an aggregate of 5,500,000 CDR Shares), and the
underlying 2,200,000 share purchase warrants will be cancelled and they will
instead receive 5,500,000 Warrants.


Filing Statement Amendments

The revised terms of the Business Combination and CDR Private Placement
supersede and replace, as applicable, the description of the Business
Combination and related private placement set out in the Corporation's filing
statement dated March 29, 2010 (the "Filing Statement") which is available on
SEDAR and the Corporations press releases issued on May 17 and May 31, 2010. The
following information updates and replaces the disclosure of the Resulting
Issuer's expected pro forma consolidated capitalization and its fully diluted
share capital. 


Capitalized terms used in the following sections that are not otherwise defined
herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Filing Statement. 


Consolidated Capitalization of the Resulting Issuer

As a result of the Consequential Amendments, the expected capitalization of the
Resulting Issuer, after giving effect to the Qualifying Transaction and CDR
Private Placement, is as follows:




                                                Outstanding in the Resulting
                                           Issuer After Giving Effect to the
                                                  Qualifying Transaction and

 shares                           Unlimited                              Nil



Notes:



1.  Pursuant to the Amalfi Stock Option Plan, the Resulting Issuer will have
    reserved 20% of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares for stock
    options. 
2.  See the pro forma financial statements of the Resulting Issuer attached
    as Schedule "E" to the Filing Statement. Upon completion of the
    Qualifying Transaction, the Cheyenne Debentures and the CDR Global
    debentures are classified as long term debt, since the undiscounted face
    value of $4,550,000 is not payable within 12 months of the Qualifying
    Transaction. The Juno Loan maturity date of March 31, 2011 is less than
    12 months from the Qualifying Transaction date, resulting in the
    $5,750,000 undiscounted face value of the Juno Loan being reclassified
    as current debt. 
3.  In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for a
    reverse takeover transaction, the dollar value of the share capital of
    Resulting Issuer after the completion of the Amalgamation will be the
    dollar value of the share capital of CDR immediately prior to completion
    of the Amalgamation, together with the net value of Amalfi. In addition,
    the deficit of Resulting Issuer will be the deficit of CDR immediately
    prior to the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, which as at
    September 30, 2009 after the deduction of stock-based compensation
    costs, commissions, consultant fees and related expenses will be
    ($4,446,465). 
4.  Not including any Resulting Issuer Shares issuable pursuant to the
    exercise of any convertible securities of the Resulting Issuer. 
5.  See Fully-Diluted Share Capital Table below. 



Fully Diluted Share Capital of the Resulting Issuer

The following table describes the expected the fully-diluted share capital of
the Resulting Issuer, after giving effect to the Qualifying Transaction and CDR
Private Placement.
