New Issue: Neostem sells $5 million of its preferred units in private placement

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., July 6 - Neostem, Inc. sold $5 million of its series D convertible redeemable preferred stock on July 6, according to an 8-K filed Monday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company raised $11 million on the same terms in an April 13 private placement.

The company sold 400,280 preferred units priced at $12.50 per unit.

Each unit consists of one preferred and 10 warrants. Each preferred will automatically convert into 10 common shares. Each warrant is exercisable at $2.50 for five years.

Proceeds will be used to support the development of NeoStem's very small embryonic-like stem cells technology and help advance the company's expansion activities in China.

The New York-based company collects, processes and stores adult stem cells for autologous use in the treatment of cardiac disease, autoimmune disorders and other conditions.
