By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., May 30 - MGT Capital Investments, Inc. gave further details about a $3.5 million private placement of senior secured convertible notes in an 8-K filed Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The deal priced May 24.

The 8% notes, which mature in 18 months, are initially convertible into 1,166,666 common shares at $3.00 per share. The company may force conversion.

The investors also will receive warrants for 875,000 shares, which are each exercisable at $3.00 for five years.

The strike price and conversion price reflect a 36.17% discount to the May 23 closing share price of $4.70.

Proceeds will be used for general working capital.

"As CFO, as well as a large stockholder of MGT, I am very mindful of enhancing long-term shareholder value," chief financial officer Robert Traversa said in a press release on May 29. "This deal brings us a strategic investor with proven success in the intellectual property space and sets a strong foundation for our expansion and development."
