New Issue: Health Sciences raises $2.4 million in private placement of preferreds

By Sheri Kasprzak

Atlanta, March 15 - Health Sciences Group Inc. said it raised $2.4 million in a private placement of series C convertible preferred stock.

The preferreds pay dividends at 8% annually and are convertible into common shares at $1.10 each.

The holders of the preferreds have an option allowing them to purchase up to an additional $1.2 million in preferreds under the same terms.

The investors also received warrants equal to half of the number of common shares issuable upon conversion. The warrants are exercisable at $1.60 each for five years.

Based in Los Angeles, Health Sciences acquires pharmaceutical, nutriceutical and biotechnology companies.
