Preventia Exchanges 1.1 Million Shares of Preferred Stock for FINs Worth $8.25 Million
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Preventia, Inc. (OTCBB: PVTA) announces the purchase of $8,250,000 (face value) of Fixed Income Notes (FINs) from an institutional investor at a purchase price of $7,672,500. Under the agreement, PVTA is allowed to pay the purchase price in preferred stock. PVTA is in the process of obtaining shareholder approval to create and issue the stock. As part of the agreement, Preventia will be issuing 10 million warrants for common shares, at an exercise price of $0.79 per share.
The Series B, 8 year 8.5% Secured Fixed Income Notes (FINs) are issued by Quantus Income Opportunities Corp. (QIOC). Transfer of the QIOC FINs to Preventia is imminent.
Robert Stevens, Preventia CEO and President states, "This latest transaction should certainly bolster our financial position. We continue to see an increasing demand from a variety of investor groups across the global markets for more yield and income. Building on continued requests for more innovations in this time of very low interest rates, we expect to further secure our niche in the financial products market. PVTA looks forward to introducing a series of unique instruments designed to increase yield returns to investors."
"This new financing opportunity is in lieu of the previously announced deals with the Magna Group, which were not completed in light of the Board's opinion that the Magna deals were not in PVTA's long term best interests," notes Mr. Stevens.
