Infinity Bio-Energy Ltd. Private Placement
SAO PAULO, Brazil, July 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Infinity Bio-Energy
Ltd. ("Infinity" or the "Company") (AIM: IBI.L) is pleased to announce today
that it has completed an aggregate of approximately US$38 million in new
financing comprising approximately (i) US$17 million of common equity ("Common
Equity") and (ii) US$21 million of convertible notes ("Notes").
In connection with the Common Equity raise, the Company will issue
3,390,222 shares at a price of US$5.00 per share. The number of shares issued
is subject to adjustment upwards if, during the six-month period following
issuance, the Company raises capital in excess of US$150,000,000 at a per
share price of less than US$5.88 through a public offering (an "Offering") of
Common Equity on one of several specified stock exchanges (which would include
the Company's previously disclosed planned Brazilian Depositary Receipt
offering), with the adjustment equal to the dollar amount invested by each
purchaser in this financing divided by 85% of the price per share in the
Offering, less the number of shares of Common Equity already issued to that
purchaser in this financing. In addition, if the Company does not consummate
an Offering of Common Equity or Brazilian Depositary Receipts on one of the
specified stock exchanges within six months, the Company shall issue an
additional 551,897 shares to the purchasers.
The Notes issued represent the remaining amounts available under the
Convertible Notes originally authorized to be raised in November 2007 and are
substantially similar to the Convertible Notes issued in November 2007, other
than that the Company has agreed with the purchaser of the Notes to forbear
from exercising its mandatory conversion rights on the newly-issued Notes
until 15 months following an Offering of Common Equity or Brazilian Depositary
Receipts on one of the specified stock exchanges.
2,090,222 shares and those shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes
are subject to transfer restrictions of between 6 and 12 months.
The use of proceeds for these financings include: (i) potential
acquisitions, (ii) advancements with the recently announced signing of a Heads
of Agreement with the Government ofJamaica and (iii) general corporate
purposes.
A total of 522,222 shares of the Common Equity raise will be issued on
substantially the same terms to the following: - William J Kidd
(13,727 shares), Andrew D Lipman (31,716 shares), Ethanol Associates, LP
(127,268 shares) Camiri LLC (7,051 shares), Infinity Ranch LLC
(322,222 shares) and Novo Horizonte Brazil Energy (20,238 shares).
Additionally and in accordance with the announcement made on November 6th,
2007, the Company will be transferring 3,500,000 shares, which have been held
in escrow, to Infinity Ranch LLC ("Ranch Capital"). With this transfer, Ranch
Capital will hold 18,245,299 Common Shares, representing 16.99% of the total
issued shares.
As a result of these financings and following the admission of the new
Common Shares to trading on AIM, the Company will have 107,408,763 shares and
US$150 million Notes outstanding.
