RCAI ANNOUNCES REPURCHASE OF
CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES AND WARRANTS
LAKE FOREST, California, February 2, 2007, Reclamation Consulting and Applications, Inc. (“RCAI”) (OTC Bulletin Board: RCAA) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with four investors, to repurchase $2,000,000 of convertible promissory notes (“Notes”) and 8,000,000 common stock purchase warrants (“Warrants”) originally issued to four investors on June 23, 2005.
The aggregate repurchase price for the convertible notes will be the total face value of the Notes outstanding on the date of repurchase, plus any accrued interest on the Notes as of that date, plus a pre-payment penalty of thirty percent (30%). In addition to the cash payment made for the Notes, the investors will receive 3,250,000 shares of RCAI restricted common stock, valued at $325,000, or ten cents per share.
Under the agreement, RCAI has until March 30, 2007 to repurchase all of the Notes. If RCAI does not repurchase all of the Notes by March 30, 2007, then the repurchase agreement becomes null and void, and the original agreement with the investors will continue to stand. If RCAI does not exercise its repurchase right for the Notes until March 30, 2007, the cash payment required for the Notes will be $1,047,203, which would be in addition to a routine monthly cash payment on the Notes due February 28, 2007 in the amount of $63,118.01.
The aggregate repurchase price for the Warrants is $258,338, and RCAI may repurchase the Warrants at any time through April 30, 2007. If it fails to repurchase all of the Warrants by that date, then the repurchase agreement will be null and void as to the Warrants, and the original warrant agreement made with the investors will continue in full force and effect.
Provided that RCAI makes all of the required payments by the dates due under the repurchase agreement, and is not otherwise in breach of the agreement, the investors will have no further rights, and RCAI will have no further obligations, under the original convertible note and related agreements. At the present time, RCAI does not have sufficient cash resources to exercise its repurchase rights under the agreement, and there can be no guarantee that it will be able to raise the funds necessary within the required timeframe. It anticipates raising the capital necessary to repurchase the Notes and Warrants through a private placement of debt and/or equity securities. The four investors from whom the Notes and Warrants are being repurchased are AJW Offshore, Ltd., AJW Qualified Partners, LLC, AJW Partners, LLC and New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC.
