New Issue: NewGen Technologies raises $5 million from private placement of convertible debentures

By Sheri Kasprzak

New York, Jan. 30 - NewGen Technologies, Inc. said it completed a $5 million private placement of convertible debentures with Cornell Capital Partners, LP.

The 10% debentures mature in three years and are convertible into shares at the lesser of $1.00 each or 80% of the lowest closing bid price for the five trading days before conversion.

NewGen may redeem the debentures, within three days' notice, assuming the company's stock is trading above $1.00. The notes are redeemable at 107% of the face value of the debentures plus interest.

Cornell has also received warrants for 1.125 million shares, exercisable for three years at $1.00 each.

So far, Cornell has funded $2.2 million of the proceeds. Of the rest, $650,000 will be funded two days before the company files a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and $2.15 million will be funded two days after the registration statement is declared effective.

Based in Charlotte, N.C., NewGen makes engines that produce cleaner emissions.
