Ener-Core plans to conduct $1.8 million private placement of 12% notes

Two-year senior secured notes were sold along with five-year warrants

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., May 7 – Ener-Core, Inc. said it has arranged a $1.8 million private placement of senior secured notes. Knight Capital Americas LLC is the agent.

The note is due on May 7, 2017 and accrues interest at 12%.

Investors also will receive warrants for about 2.2 common shares per $1.00 invested. The warrants are each exercisable at $0.25 for five years. The strike price reflects a 13.64% premium to the May 6 closing share price of $0.22.

The securities are substantially identical to the notes and warrants the company sold in a $3.1 million private placement on April 23.

Settlement was expected Thursday.

Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes and the capital requirements of a global licensing agreement with Dresser-Rand.

The Irvine, Calif., company designs and manufactures systems for producing continuous energy from a range of sources, including previously unusable ultra-low quality gas.
