All figures in Canadian $

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mogo Inc. (TSX:MOGO) (NASDAQ:MOGO) (“Mogo” or the “Company”), a financial technology company focused on empowering consumers with innovative digital financial solutions through its mobile app, today announced that it will be giving notice to holders of its 10.0% convertible senior secured debentures due May 31, 2022 (TSX: MOGO.DB) (the “Convertible Debentures“) that such Convertible Debentures will be converted into common shares of Mogo (“Shares”) on or about January 11, 2021 (the “Conversion Date”).

Under the terms of the indenture relating to the Convertible Debentures, at any time that the 20-day volume weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of the Shares on the TSX exceeds $3.4375 per Share, the Company may convert the Convertible Debentures in whole or in part, including any accrued and unpaid interest, to Shares. Subject to the terms of the indenture relating to the Convertible Debentures, the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures shall convert at $2.75 per Share and, subject to TSX approval, the accrued and unpaid interest on such Convertible Debentures shall convert at the greater of (i) the 20-day VWAP of the Shares on the fifth trading day prior to the Conversion Date and (ii) the maximum discount permitted by the rules of the TSX, less any taxes required to be deducted therefrom.

“We have taken multiple meaningful steps to improve our profitability and our balance sheet in 2020, and this early conversion will further simplify our capital structure moving forward,” said Greg Feller, President and Chief Financial Officer of Mogo. “As we transition back to growth mode heading into 2021, we are financially well positioned.”

Currently there is an aggregate principal amount of approximately $10.9 million of Convertible Debentures outstanding.

The Company also announced that it will hold a special meeting of shareholders to approve its previously announced acquisition of Carta Solutions Holding Corporation, also know as Carta Worldwide, on January 15, 2021.
