Knoxville, Tenn., June 23 – Mela Sciences, Inc. completed a $42.5 million private placement of 9% senior secured notes and 2.25% senior secured convertible debentures on June 22, according to an 8-K filed Tuesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The $10 million notes mature on Nov. 30, 2015.

The $32.5 million convertibles mature in five years and are initially convertible into about 43.3 million common shares at $0.75 per share.

Investors also received five-year warrants for 3 million common shares, which are exercisable at $0.75.

The conversion price and strike price reflect a 56.9% discount to the June 19 closing share price of $1.74.

Proceeds were used to purchase the XTRAC and VTRAC laser business from PhotoMedex Inc. for $42.5 million.
