Memex Completes Early Payout of BDC

BURLINGTON, ON–(Marketwired – June 29, 2016) – Memex Inc. (“Memex” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: OEE) a global leader in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) manufacturing productivity software, today announced it has completed the early settlement of its debt obligation to the Business Development Bank of Canada (the “BDC”). Funding for the pay-out came primarily from the Company’s Senior Management and Directors, who have collectively exercised $196 thousand of $0.16 warrants that were set to expire. The early pay-out removes uncertainty over the bonus interest payment, which would have been due at loan maturity (Feb 2018), and also halts royalty interest payments.

Settlement Summary
In exchange for repayment of the outstanding principal ($160 thousand), an interest rate differential payment of $8 thousand, and the negotiated bonus interest payment of $103 thousand, the BDC has agreed to release its security and conclude its lending arrangement with Memex. That arrangement would have seen the Company continue to pay principal plus interest at 9% in addition to royalty interest (of 1% of each year’s annual sales) and the unknown future bonus interest (2.3% of the Company’s fair value) at the maturity of the loan.
