New Issue: Osiris Therapeutics secures $30 million financing from Friedli

By Laura Lutz

Des Moines, Oct. 9 - Osiris Therapeutics, Inc. arranged a $30 million financing agreement with Friedli Corporate Finance, Inc.

The financing agreement has a one-year term. Osiris may choose the timing and amount of draws under the facility.

The financing will take the form of either an issue of common stock at market price or three-year notes at Libor plus 400 bps, at Friedli's discretion.

The number of shares issued under the deal may not exceed 10% of Osiris's outstanding share total as of Oct. 5. If shares are issued, they will be priced at the average closing bid price over the 10 trading days before funding.

If notes are issued, they will pay interest semiannually.

Proceeds will be used for clinical trials and other general corporate purposes.
