Century Group Ltd. (CGL) is a public company in Ontario that reports under IFRS. The company is financed by 10,200,000 common shares and $23 million in long-term debt. CGL is planning to launch a new product line the following year, which will require an additional $50 million in capital to be spent on research and development as well as adding production capacity. CGLs leadership team is looking for funding that will serve two purposes: To finance the new product line; and To complete a share buyback Management has been talking to various lenders and has settled on two finalists. A loan facility from the Algonquin Bank (see Appendix 1 for the term sheet agreed with the bank) A new private bond issue (see Appendix 2 for a draft of the bond agreement). Despite the interest rate proposed in the draft debenture agreement, the expected yield on the bond will be 7.8%. CGLs discussions with the private lending group initially focused on a plain vanilla bond. However, the interest rate that the lending group was demanding, 10%, was rejected as a non-starter by CGL management. CGL leadership would also like to purchase and cancel 1,000,000 common class A shares at an expected value of $10 per share (see Appendix 3 for details on CGLs share structure). They had issued 2,000,000 shares February 1st of this year when the share price was at a high of $12.40 per share. There have been no other capital transactions this year. In order to make the final decision on which financing arrangement would be more suitable for CGL, you have been asked to complete several tasks. The CFO has directed you to assume that the decision will be made in time to execute either of the lending facilities by November 1, 2021, and the full amount of each facility would be drawn down on that date, while the share buyback will be completed one month afterwards. CGL has a December 31 year end.
