[d] Convertible Debentures
On October 21, 2005, the Company issued secured convertible debentures in the aggregate face amount of $1,579,000 with a term of three-years. The debentures bear interest at 7% per annum payable quarterly. Each unit comprises a $1,000 principal amount convertible debenture and 1,190 common share purchase warrants for an aggregate amount of warrants with rights to purchase an aggregate amount of 1,879,010 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.50 per common share for a period of 2 years. The debenture conversion price is 42 cents per common share for the first two years, and 47 cents per common share in the third year. The company has the right to redeem the debentures for either cash or common shares if the price exceeds 200 per cent of the conversion price for 10 consecutive trading days.
In accordance with Section 3861 of the CICA Handbook, the entire proceeds of the debentures have been allocated to debt. The convertible debentures have been initially recorded calculated by discounting the gross debt amount by the estimated fair value of the share purchase warrants and debenture conversion option using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The discounted amount is being accreted to fair value over the term of the debenture as a non-cash charge to interest expense.
In addition, the Company paid finders’ fees totaling $14,000.
To date, debentures totaling $78,000 have been converted to common shares.
Up to $3 million of the $10 million financing will be conducted in Canada by Xxxxxxx Securities, Inc., pursuant to separate forms of agreements. The Company is also conducting a non-brokered private placement of up to $2 million of units, pursuant to separate forms of agreements, concurrently with the offering contemplated by the Agreement.

$10 Million Brokered Private
Placement
and Board Reorganization
Vancouver, British Columbia, March 16, 2006 –Response Biomedical Corp. (TSX-V: RBM, OTCBB: RPBIF), announced today that it has accepted a proposal received from potential new investors. The proposal requires the Company to arrange a brokered private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $10 million and to undertake a restructuring of its Board.
The private placement is to consist of 20,000,000 units at a price of $0.50 per unit, each unit consisting of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.62 per share for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the private placement. The private placement will be brokered by both a US-based investment bank and a Canadian-based firm on a best efforts basis subject to regulatory approval. The Company will pay commissions in connection with the financing. The securities issued under the private placement will have a hold period under Canadian law of four months from the closing.
The proposal also provides that concurrent with and conditional upon the completion of this $10 million private placement, Xx. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xx. Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Mr. Xxx Xxxx, and Xx. Xxxxxxx Bear are to be appointed as directors of the Company and the five existing independent directors of the Company will resign. The current management will remain in place following the closing of the financing.
As a condition of the proposal, the Company also expects to close the non-brokered financing announced on December 14, 2005 of up to $2 million at the same time and on the same terms as the above brokered financing. Completion of these financings is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
In addition, the Company has agreed to amend the exercise price of 1,875,000 warrants granted on June 21, 2004 and expiring June 21, 2006 from an exercise price of $1.15 per common share to $0.90 per common share to reflect the market price of the Company's common shares at the date of issue.
