By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., June 17 - IR BioSciences Holdings, Inc. completed the second tranche of a $3 million private placement of secured convertible debentures for $1 million, according to an 8-K filed Tuesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

IR drew down $2 million on Jan. 3. The remaining $1 million settled on June 12.

Yorkville Advisors, LLC, through YA Global Investments LP, is the investor.

YA Global also received warrants for 7.5 million shares, exercisable at $0.25 per share until Dec. 31, 2012.

The debentures in the first tranche will mature on Dec. 31, 2010 and bear interest at 8% per year. They will initially be convertible into common stock at $0.20 per share.

The debentures sold in June mature on May 31, 2011 and also bear interest at 8% per year. They will initially be convertible into common stock at $0.20 per share as well.

Interest will be payable quarterly.

After Dec. 31, 2009 or if IR fails to achieve certain milestones, the conversion price will become the lower of $0.20 per share and 80% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the five trading days immediately before conversion.

The milestones relate to preclinical studies and submission of an investigational new drug application.
