New Issue: TIR Systems wraps C$14.2 million private placement of convertibles

By Sheri Kasprzak

New York, Oct. 28 - TIR Systems Ltd. has concluded its previously announced private placement for C$14.2 million.

The company issued 7% convertible debentures due in 2011 and convertible into common shares at C$1.30 each.

For every C$1,000 in principal purchased, the investors will receive warrants for 200 shares. The warrants are exercisable at C$1.50 each for three years.

The interest rate of the debentures drops to 0% any time the company's quarterly trading price exceeds the conversion price by 225%.

The deal was first announced Aug. 15 as a C$10 million offering. The conversion price in the original offering had been set a C$2.00, the strike price of the warrants had been C$2.18 and the expiry of the warrants had been seven years. The size of the offering was increased to C$25 million on Sept. 6.

The terms of the warrants have changed since the offering was priced. Initially, the investors were to be granted warrants for 65 shares for every C$1,000 in debentures purchased.

Proceeds will be used for commercialization and general corporate purposes.
