CleanTech completes $20 million private placement of units, 10% loan

Two offerings raise proceeds for debt retirement and growth capital

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., Dec. 16 - CleanTech Innovations, Inc. completed a private placement of units on Dec. 13, according to an 8-K filed Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It raised $10 million in the placement and a further $10 million through a loan agreement.

In the placement, the company sold 2.5 million units at $4.00 apiece. Each unit consists of one common share and a warrant for 0.675 of a share. Each whole warrant is exercisable at $4.00 for five years. The company issued a total of 1,687,500 warrants.

The strike price reflects a 33.88% discount to the Dec. 10 closing share price of $6.05.

The 10% loan was negotiated with NYGG (Asia), Ltd. and is due on March 1, 2012.

Proceeds will be used to retire short-term debt, to provide necessary growth capital in time to fund the manufacturing of significant wind-tower supply contracts already received, to participate in new wind-tower contract bids and to fulfill a significant amount of new wind-tower contracts the company expects to receive in December and early 2011.

The New York company designs and manufactures high-performance clean-technology products that promote renewable energy generation, energy savings and pollution reduction.
