New Issue: Lumera arranges $25 million committed equity financing facility

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., Feb. 22 - Lumera Corp. said it entered into a $25 million three-year committed equity financing facility with Kingsbridge Capital Ltd.

Lumera can access up to $25 million from Kingsbridge in exchange for newly issued common shares.

Lumera may access capital under the facility in tranches between 2% and 3% of its market capitalization at the time of the draw down.

Each tranche will be issued and priced over an eight-day pricing period. Kingsbridge will buy common shares at discounts ranging from 6% to 12%, depending on the average market price of the common stock during the eight-day pricing period.

The minimum acceptable purchase price for any shares Kingsbridge may buy is determined by the higher of $1.25 or 90% of Lumera's common stock closing price the day before each draw down.

Kingsbridge also received a five-year warrant for 180,000 shares, exercisable at $3.01.

Located in Bothell, Wash., Lumera develops molecular structures and polymer compounds used in bioscience and communications.
