On June 9, 2011, Ivanhoe Energy Inc. (the “Company”) confirmed the closing of the previously announced sale pursuant to an underwriting agreement, on a bought deal basis to a syndicate of underwriters (the “Underwriters”), of $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.75% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) at a price of $1,000 per Debenture (the “Canadian Public Offering”). The Debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company (the “Shares”) at the holder’s option at any time prior to the close of business on the earlier of June 30, 2016 and the business day immediately preceding the date specified by the Company for redemption of the Debentures at a price of $3.36 per Share. The Company has also granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional $7,500,000 aggregate principal amount of Debentures at the same price exercisable in whole or in part any time for a period of 30 days following the closing of the Canadian Public Offering. The aggregate commission to the Underwriters in connection with the Canadian Public Offering (assuming exercise of the over-allotment option) will be $2,300,000.
The Company also confirmed the sale, on a private placement basis and on the same terms as the Canadian Public Offering, of over $23,000,000 principal amount of Debentures to certain directors, officers, insiders and other non-insiders.
The Debentures were offered and sold in a public offering in Canada, and were not registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to the exemption set forth in Regulation S under the Securities Act.
