ITEM
1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On May 20, 2009,
we paid the sum of 92,269,285 (Rand) to Investec Bank Limited (Investec) in
payment of all amounts due Investec under the bridging facility (term loan) we
obtained from Investec on May 27, 2008. The amount paid included repayment of
80,000,000 (Rand) in principal, 12,225,335 (Rand) in interest, and 43,950 (Rand)
in other charges.
In receiving the
payment, Investec also released its security interest in all of our assets.
We
originally obtained the bridging facility (term loan) primarily to fund the
acquisition of
Barbrook Mines Limited from Maid 'O The Mist (Proprietary) Limited, a company
incorporated in the Republic of South Africa and a subsidiary of Caledonia
Mining Corporation Limited, a company incorporated in Canada.
In addition to
repayment of principal, payment of interest and other charges, in November 2008
we granted Investec 820,000 common stock purchase warrants for the purchase of
820,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the lower of
$3.75 per share and the price at which we raise equity capital in our next
offering. The Warrants were granted in consideration of Investecs extension
of the maturity date of the bridging facility (term loan) from November 28,
2008 to May 29, 2009 (the Loan Extension).
With the payment
of these sums to Investec, we have fulfilled all of our financial obligations
to Investec under the terms of the Loan Extension.
ITEM 7.01.
Regulation FD Disclosure.
As stated above,
on May 20, 2009, we paid the sum of 92,269,285 (Rand) to Investec Bank Limited
(Investec). The payment to Investec represent our final payment to Investec
and thereby served to discharge our financial obligations to them under the
terms of the bridging facility (term loan) of May 27, 2008 and the terms of the
Loan Extension.
While we believe
that the payment of our obligations to Investec serves to enhance our balance
sheet and our financial flexibility, we remain a small company subject to many
risks and uncertainties over which we have little or no control.
