New Issue: International Stem Cell to place $10 million of 10% preferreds with warrants

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., May 5 - International Stem Cell Corp. agreed to sell up to $10 million of 10% series F preferred stock to Socius CG II, Ltd. in a private placement, according to an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Up to 1,000 preferreds will be sold for $10,000 each.

The company will determine the time and amount of preferreds to be purchased by the investor. It said it plans to sell all 1,000 preferred at a single time.

Dividends are payable in kind.

Beginning a year after issuance, the preferreds are callable at par plus a redemption premium and accrued dividends. The premium is 26% for redemptions made between the first and second anniversary of issuance, and it declines to zero for redemptions made after the fourth anniversary.

The investor also received 250,000 shares of common stock as a fee and a warrant to purchase up to $13.5 million of common stock. The exercise price of the warrant will be determined based on the company's closing stock price on the day before the preferreds are sold.
