Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 23 - Naturally Advanced Technologies Inc. said it plans an $8 million non-brokered private placement of units.

The company will sell units of one common share and one half-share warrant at $2.21 per unit.

Each whole warrant is exercisable at $3.45 for two years. The strike price reflects a 32.69% premium to $2.60, the Aug. 22 closing share price.

Proceeds will be used to complete the installation of the company's facility in Pamplico, S.C., and for equipment deposits, harvesting and general corporate purposes.

The company also said that it has entered into an agreement with Cormark Securities Inc. in which Cormark has agreed to purchase $10 million of 10% convertible secured debentures due Sept. 30, 2017 for resale. The debentures will be sold at par of C$1,000, and there is a 15% greenshoe.
