RESTON, Va., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Emerald Dairy Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company") (OTC Bulletin Board: EMDY), announced today that it has commenced an offer to its existing warrant holders, that acquired their warrants in connection with Company's October 2007 private offerings, to exchange their warrants for warrants with amended terms. The offer to exchange the warrants is scheduled to expire on March 17, 2010.
Amended terms, include the following:
-- With respect to the 373,344 warrants having an exercise price of $0.94
per share, a holder accepting the offer may exchange some or all of the
warrants for amended warrants exercisable at $0.75 per share (a 20%
discount);
-- With respect to the 1,333,333 warrants having an exercise price of
$1.50 per share, a holder accepting the offer may exchange some or all
of the warrants for amended warrants exercisable at $1.20 per share (a
20% discount);
-- With respect to the 235,583 warrants having an exercise price of $1.63
per share, a holder accepting the offer may exchange some or all of the
warrants for amended warrants exercisable at $1.30 per share (a 20%
discount);
-- With respect to the 906,190 warrants having an exercise price of $2.04
per share, a holder accepting the offer may exchange some or all of the
warrants for amended warrants exercisable at $1.63 per share (a 20%
discount); and
-- With respect to the 2,526,208 warrants having an exercise price of
$3.26 per share, a holder accepting the offer may exchange some or all
of the warrants for amended warrants exercisable at $1.63 per share (a
50% discount).
In addition to the lower exercise prices, the amended warrants have shortened exercise periods, are exercisable even if the exercise will cause a warrant holder to own more than 9.9% of the Company's common equity, and must be exercised for cash.
The purpose of this offer is to raise additional capital by encouraging participating warrant holders to exercise the amended warrants they receive in connection with the offer, by significantly reducing the exercise prices and exercise periods of the amended warrants. The Company expects to apply any proceeds received in connection with such exercise toward the cost of completing the equipping of the first production line in the Company's new milk powder production facility located in Hailun City, Heilongjiang Province, People's Republic of China ("PRC").
Warrant holders with questions or concerns regarding the offer to exchange warrants should contact the exchange agent for the offer, Computershare Inc., at 800-546-5141.
