MISSISSAUGA, ON, Dec. 27, 2019 /CNW/ - Cargojet Inc. ("Cargojet" or the "Corporation") (TSX: CJT) announced today in connection with the previously announced redemption of $15,698,000 aggregate principal amount currently outstanding on its 4.65% convertible unsecured debentures due December 31, 2021 (the "Debentures") on December 31, 2019 (the "Redemption Date")), that the Current Market Price (as defined in the indenture governing the Debentures (the "Indenture")) of its common and variable voting shares (the "Voting Shares") is $101.44. An aggregate of 162,896 Voting Shares will therefore be issued on the Redemption Date in respect of the redemption (assuming no further conversions are effected prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date), such number having been determined pursuant to the Indenture by dividing the redemption price of $15,698,000 by 95% of the Current Market Price of the Voting Shares (calculated based on the 20 consecutive trading days ending five days before the Redemption Date). The Corporation intends to pay all accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, in cash.
