LOS ANGELES, July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Chequemate International Inc. (Amex: DDD), doing business as C-3D Digital Inc., the world's first 3D television network and 3D Internet media company, announced today it has rescinded a $2 million financing deal. "The C-3D Digital Board of Directors prevailed upon the investors to rescind this deal because of the effect we perceived it was having on the company's stock price," stated J. Michael Heil, Chairman and CEO of C-3D Digital. "The cost of capital was just too high in this deal." The original financing deal, announced on May 25, 2000, had the company entering into two separate convertible promissory notes, each for $1,000,000, bearing interest at the rate of 12%. Each note would be secured by a lien on the Company's assets. The Company would receive $2,000,000 cash from the transaction. Each note was convertible into restricted shares of the company's common stock at one-half of the market value, but not less than $2.00 per share. Each note would be accompanied by a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. "We are exploring other financing deals that would be more favorable to the company," continued Heil. C-3D Digital is a leading innovator in media content creation and technology for 3D imagery and virtual reality entertainment for television and the Internet.
