James,
Argentum has the expertise and the talent(not to mention the capital) to get great deals presented to them. Argentum I believe is Medsite's largest capital provider through the last two rounds of financing. As my previous post showed JDX has offered options to Argentum for five years in return Argentum allows JDX to add their own seed money to their financing of young companies. Below is a historic NR of JDX's commitment to Medsite.
Jordex Resources Inc JDX Shares issued 30,374,357 1999-06-21 close $0.76 Monday Jun 21 1999 Mr. Brian Hinchcliffe reports Jordex Resources has invested through a private placement $1.0-million (U.S.) in Medsite.com, Inc., the leading Internet-based provider of e-services to the medical industry. Medsite.com, Inc. provides its services to the physician and medical community via various channels that provide e-commerce, e-communication and e-information within this $31-billion industry. Medsite.com, Inc. has built an outstanding list of strategic partners with whom they are working to build an Internet-based network with medical professionals. The structure of the private placement is an 8-per-cent subordinated exchangeable note due June 30, 2000, that gives Jordex the right to convert the note to either convertible preferred stock or common stock of Medsite.com, Inc. The instrument has an interim maturity date of Nov. 30, 1999, by which date Jordex must announce its conversion decision. The final maturity for the note is June 30, 2000. This financing represents the fourth round of financing for Medsite.com, Inc. which has grown rapidly since its inception in 1997. Jordex is particularly pleased to be joining a prestigious group of institutions in this private placement. "Against a six month backdrop of intense Internet-based speculation and volatility, we have carried out a search for quality businesses that centre on the real advantages that the Internet offers. We believe Medsite.com, Inc. represents such an opportunity and will be a profitable investment for Jordex shareholders," stated Brian Hinchcliffe, Jordex's chairman. "Moreover, the unique, conservative structure of this, our first Internet investment, along with the quality of our co-investors should give an extra degree of confidence to the marketplace."
