The debentures will be convertible to common shares of the corporation at 10 cents per share. Share-purchase warrants are attached to the debentures, entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the corporation per warrant at a price of 10 cents per share, expiring two years after issuance. The conversion price of the debentures and the exercise price of the warrants are subject to approval of the Alberta Stock Exchange and in the event of an adjustment in price, the offering size will remain fixed at $600,000 but the number of shares issuable upon conversion or exercise will be adjusted. Both the shares and warrants are restricted from trading according to the regulations of the Alberta Stock Exchange. The entire offering was assumed by existing investors. The funds from the transaction will allow SmartSales to launch a new line of Internet-based sales opportunity management software products in the near future. The financing is part of a corporate reorganization designed to accelerate revenue growth, particularly from new Internet products. As a result of this process, the company is pleased to announce changes to the board of directors. Gael Mourant, chief financial officer of Roman Corporation Limited, and Nigel Stokes, chief executive officer of DataMirror Corporation, have been reappointed to the board. Kevin Harris, a principal with the corporate finance firm DJ Limited, and Robert Bender, chief executive officer of Select Therapeutics Inc., have been appointed to the board.
