New Issue: Entech Solar arranges $10 million private placement of preferred shares

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., June 30 - Entech Solar Inc. negotiated a $10 million private placement of 10% series H preferred stock on June 25, according to an 8-K filed Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company will sell 1,000 preferreds at $10,000 apiece to the Quercus Trust. The placement will only settle if David Gelbaum, a trustee at Quercus and chief executive of Entech Solar, dies before Dec. 31. The placement is also contingent upon Quercus receiving $10 million in life insurance proceeds.

Quercus also will receive a warrant for $13.5 million in shares, which will be exercisable at a price equal to the closing price of the common stock on the day prior to settlement.

Quercus also received a commitment fee of $100,000, which was paid in the form of 10 preferreds and a warrant for 843,750 shares, which will be exercisable at $0.16.

The Fort Worth, Texas, company designs, manufactures and installs solar energy systems that provide electricity and thermal energy in commercial and industrial applications.
