Deal sells three-year convertible notes along with five-year warrants

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., Dec. 3 - Avantair, Inc. said it settled a private placement of senior secured convertible notes for $2.8 million.

The 2% notes, which mature in three years, are convertible into common stock at $0.25 per share.

The investors also will receive warrants, which are each exercisable at $0.50 for five years.

The strike price and conversion price reflect 233.33% and 66.67% premiums to the Nov. 30 closing share price of $0.15.

"We believe that this new round of financing will allow us to continue making progress on our flight operations and customer service initiatives," chief executive officer Steven Santo said in a press release. "Our board of directors and primary aircraft providers played a major role in our achieving today's results and providing additional support for our long term business model. Additionally, I am grateful for the continued strong support from our loyal owner group."

Avantair is a fractional aircraft operator based in Clearwater, Fla.
