New Issue: American Technology receives $25 million equity line

By Sheri Kasprzak

Atlanta, Dec. 15 - American Technology Corp. said Wednesday it has received $25 million in a committed equity financing facility.

Kingsbridge Capital Ltd. will provide the line over two years, during which time the company may draw upon the facility at the lesser of 3% of the company's market capitalization or $10 million.

The purchase installments will be priced during 15-day periods with the company controlling the minimum acceptable purchase price for shares issued to Kingsbridge. The purchase price of the shares has a floor of $3.

Kingsbridge will buy shares at discounts from 8% to 12% of the volume weighted average market price during the two-year financing period, with the reduced discount applying if the price of the stock is greater than $10.

Kingsbridge may not short sell any of the company's shares, according to the terms of the agreement.

American Technology also issued warrants for an additional 275,000 shares at $8.60 each for five years.

On Wednesday, the company also announced that it has entered into a one-year consulting agreement with Flagstone Securities Inc., which arranged the agreement with Kingsbridge.

Based in San Diego, American Technology develops, manufactures and distributes proprietary sound technologies and products.
