New Issue: Opsens takes in C$3.77 million from private placement of units

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., April 8 - Opsens Inc. said it completed a C$3.77 million private placement of units. The deal, which was conducted by a syndicate of agents led by M Partners Inc. and including Desjardins Securities Inc. and Blackmont Capital Inc., priced on March 26 for C$4 million with a 15% greenshoe.

The company sold 4,711,126 units at C$0.80 apiece. Opsens planned to sell 5 million units at that price.

Each unit consists of one common share and one half-share warrant. Each whole warrant will be exercisable at C$1.10 for two years.

The warrants may expire sooner if the company's common shares trade at or above C$1.50, in which case the warrants will expire 30 days after the company notifies holders.

Opsens will pay a C$263,823 finder's fee to the agents and issue broker compensation warrants for 329,779 common shares, exercisable at C$0.80 for two years.

Proceeds will be used for acquisitions, for marketing and for general working capital purposes.

Quebec City-based Opsens develops fiber optic sensors and signal conditioners used in the oil and natural gas sector.
