TORONTO, June 29, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Thinkpath, Inc. (OTCBB:THTHF) today announced the implementation of their previously announced reverse stock split of 5,000 to 1 of their issued and outstanding common shares and the simultaneous closing of a $3,500,000 convertible financing facility with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. ("Laurus Funds"), a New York based institutional equity fund that specializes in making direct investments in growth-stage public companies that exhibit exceptional promise. A portion of the proceeds were used to retire the balance of all outstanding convertible debentures and the cancellation of all associated warrants and shares, as well as to pay off the receivable discount facility with Morrison Financial Services Limited.
The $3.5 million convertible financing facility consists of a revolving line of credit based on eligible accounts receivable maturing on June 27, 2008, and bearing interest at an annual rate equal to the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 3%. The principal outstanding on the secured convertible note is convertible into common stock at a fixed conversion price ranging from 80% to 110% of the average closing price for the previous 10 days, subject to certain conditions. In connection with the financing, Thinkpath Inc. issued Laurus Funds a common stock purchase warrant to purchase up to 2,100,000 shares of Thinkpath Inc. common stock at 110% and 120% of the average closing price for the previous 10 days.
"We are delighted to have completed this financing," said Declan French, chairman and CEO of Thinkpath Inc. "Our partnership with Laurus Funds will allow us to take our company to another plateau through their financing of acquisitions and organic growth."
Thinkpath's new symbol will be THPHF and the reverse split will take effect at the open of business June 30, 2005.
