Brazil Minerals, Inc. Reports Progress Towards Elimination of Convertible Debt From Short-Term Noteholders
(firmenpresse) - PASADENA, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/05/15 -- Brazil Minerals, Inc. (OTC: BMIX) (the "Company" or "BMIX") reported today steady progress towards the complete elimination of its convertible debt held by short-term noteholders. In this release, convertible debt investors that convert debt to common stock periodically and expeditiously sell such stock into the open market are referred to as short-term noteholders.
Group 10 Holdings, LLC ("G10"), at one time BMIX''s largest short-term noteholder, has only approximately $85,000 left to convert on its last note. At the current pace of its conversion requests and the Company''s average trading volume, G10''s last note could be extinguished within August. However, no assurance can be given as to when any noteholder will make a request for conversion.
One of the two convertible notes from St. George Investments, Inc. ("SGI"), another short-term noteholder, has been entirely extinguished. Its second note is currently being converted at a rate contractually limited to $45,000 per month until extinguishment. This amount is relatively small given the current average monthly trading volume of BMIX''s common stock. Recently, certain long-term oriented investors have approached the Company with the desire to purchase the remaining SGI debt and these conversations are ongoing.
The three other remaining convertible notes available for conversion from other short-term noteholders are between approximately $15,000 and $25,000 each, and could be extinguished in short timeframes of a few days given current trading volume.
Overall, BMIX is pleased with the process of complete elimination of its convertible debt held by short-term noteholders.
