Lenco plans $10.75 million private placement of series A preferreds

Deal with Pablo Enterprises also has $750,000 in insider investment

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 28 - Lenco Mobile Inc. plans a private placement of 107,500 series A convertible preferred shares, according to an 8-K filed Tuesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The deal priced Sept. 23.

The private placement of $10.75 million was priced at $100 per preferred. Pablo Enterprises LLC is the lead investor for $10 million. Insiders will buy the remaining $750,000 in preferreds.

The 6% preferreds are convertible into common stock at $1.50 per share. The conversion price reflects a 60.63% discount to the Sept. 22 closing share price of $3.81.

"The $10 million investment enables us to increase the speed at which we expand internationally," Lenco's chief executive and president, Michael Levinsohn, said in a press release. "The demand for our services and solutions is particularly high right now, given that wireless carriers are increasingly reliant on data revenue to keep growing."

Lenco is a San Francisco-based developer of mobile phone and internet advertising platforms.
