By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 20 - Microfluidics International Corp. gave further details on a $5 million private placement of a convertible debenture in an 8-K filed Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The deal settled on Nov. 14.

The 9% debenture is convertible into common shares at $1.25 per share. It has a seven-year term.

The single investor, Global Strategic Partners, LLC, also received seven-year warrants for $20 million in shares, which will settle in two tranches. The first tranche will be exercisable for up to a 40% equity stake in the company at $2.00 per share and the second tranche will be exercisable at $3.00 for up to a 50% stake.
