By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., July 2 - Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. settled a $12 million private placement of 8% senior convertible promissory notes on July 2, according to an 8-K filed Tuesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes mature on Sept. 15, 2013 and are initially convertible into common shares at $0.352 per share, which represents a 10% premium to the $0.32 closing share price on June 30. The notes may be put upon a change of control.

The company must repay 1/12th of the notes on the first business day of each month from Oct. 1 through Sept. 1, 2013. Each monthly payment may be made in cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares.

The investors also received five-year warrants for 18.75 million common shares, which are each exercisable at $0.384, a 20% premium to the June 30 closing price.

Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes and to repay the $1.8 million promissory note owed to Saga SPA.
