VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 04, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Luxor Industrial Corporation (TSX:V:LRL) (OTC:LXRRF) is pleased to announce that it has finalized a Credit Facility of Can $ 5,275,000 with HSBC Bank Canada which includes an Operating Line of Cdn $ 1,500,000. The Credit Facility also provides a Standby Letter of Credit/Guarantee Loan facility, a Foreign Exchange Loan facility and a Mastercard facility.
The operating line will be used to finance turnkey framing contracts that have been awarded to the Company’s subsidiary Mill Frame LLC. Turnkey contracts include Luxor supplying all materials and site labor which will be covered by the operating line as well as prefabrication of walls and floors by Luxor’s subsidiary, Mill Frame Inc. Contracts for 2016 exceed Cdn $ 16,000,000.
Previously Luxor completed insurance coverage with EDC (Export Development Corporation) for any payment defaults for 90% of all product exports sales and 90% of the value of turnkey framing contracts. EDC will approve foreign customers on each contract prior to the insurance taking effect.
Luxor previously announced it was partnering with a Trading House to assist with the financing of the framing materials for the US $6,000,000 turnkey framing contract for the Heron’s Key project in Gig Harbor, Washington by The Weitz Company. The ability to secure material financing through lumber traders together with the HSBC operating lines decreases the need for Luxor to raise funds through equity financings.
Terry Lashman, CEO of Luxor, comments, “We are very pleased with the developments with HSBC and EDC and with the efforts put forward by the management of these organizations to finalize the funding and insurance arrangements respectively. The HSBC Operating Line pretty well eliminates the need to raise funds for financing these and additional contracts which is a great benefit the shareholders as it minimizes share dilution.”
