By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., April 26 - Anavex Life Sciences Corp. completed a $250,000 tranche of a $1 million private placement of 8% convertible debentures with a single investor on April 20, according to an 8-K filed Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Anavex priced the placement on April 19.

The notes mature April 20, 2012 and are initially convertible into units at $3.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one warrant, with each warrant exercisable at $4.00 for two years.

Based in Hoboken, N.J., Anavex is focused on developing and marketing drug targets for the treatment of cancer and diseases of the central nervous system.
