Local settles $9.32 million 8% convertible notes, 10% debentures sale

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., March 10 – Local Corp. completed a $4.57 million private placement of senior convertible notes and $4.75 million of partially liquidating debentures in a registered offering on March 9, according to an 8-K filed Tuesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The 8% notes are due on April 11, 2018 and will initially convert to common shares at $0.5534 per share.

The 10% debentures are due Aug. 1, 2016 and are initially convertible at $0.7090 per share.

In addition, investors received 50% warrant coverage, or warrants for 7,708,091 shares. The warrants are each exercisable at $0.6510 for five years.

The conversion prices and strike price are a 12.16% discount, 12.54% premium and 3.33% premium to the March 6 closing share price of $0.63.

Proceeds will be used to repay the company’s 7% convertible notes, which are due in April.

In connection with the placement, the company negotiated a $10 million secured accounts receivable financing agreement with Fast Pay Partners LLC that matures in April 2016. This financing is expected to replace the company’s senior secured facility with Square 1 Bank.

Based in Irvine, Calif., Local operates a local media advertising company that enables local businesses and consumers to find each other and connect.
