By Angela McDaniels

Seattle, July 25 - American Mortgage Acceptance Co. priced a downsized $17 million of 7.25% series A cumulative convertible perpetual preferred shares with an initial conversion premium of 25%, according to a 424B5 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company priced 680,000 shares, each with a $25 liquidation preference. There is a 60,000 share over-allotment option.

The deal was reduced from the original announcement on July 9, when the company said it planned to price 1.68 million shares with a greenshoe for 210,000 shares.

Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc. is bookrunner for the off-the-shelf sale, with Boenning & Scattergood, Inc. as joint lead.
