VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwired) — 11/04/13 — Parkit Enterprise Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: PKT) – is pleased to announce that on November 1st it closed a USD $16,500,000 refinancing of the Denver Canopy parking facility. The non-recourse, floating rate debt used to complete the recapitalization was provided by CapitalSource Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CapitalSource Inc. (NYSE: CSE).
This refinancing relieves the Company from its previous high interest debt burden and improves the balance sheet considerably. All outstanding amounts owed by Parkit to Maxam Capital Corp. have been repaid, and Maxam has released all security. The Wells Fargo construction loan at the asset level has also been repaid.
Concurrent to this financing, the Company has issued a $300,000 six-month convertible debenture at 8% annualized interest comprised of 750,000 Units priced at $0.40 each. Each Unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase Warrant, each Warrant entitling the purchaser to purchase one common share at $0.40 each during the six month term of the debenture. The proceeds of the debenture are to be used for general working capital purposes.
Canopy continues to improve in occupancy and yield, and management anticipates meeting FY 2013 budgeted revenues of $7,500,000 and EBITDA of $2,600,000.
