New Issue: Noveko prices C$3.5 million private placement of units

By Sheri Kasprzak

New York, March 30 - Noveko International Inc. said it plans to raise C$7 million in a PIPE to help fund the acquisition of Lapjack (Canada) Ltd. and its subsidiary Bolduc Leroux Inc.

The deal includes 7 million units of one share and one warrant for one-fifth of a share at C$0.50 each. The whole warrants are exercisable at $1.00 each for two years.

The unit price is an 11.1% premium to the company's C$0.45 closing stock price Thursday. The warrant strike price is a 122% premium to the same closing stock price.

The acquisition will be funded through $500,000 in cash and by the issuance of the units.

Noveko has also agreed to buy 300,000 class E shares of Bolduc Leroux.

Andre Leroux, chief executive officer of Noveko and director and vice president of Bolduc Leroux Inc., agreed to buy at least 4 million and up to 6 million of the units.

The acquisition is expected to close April 28.

Montreal-based Noveko designs ultrasound scanners used in veterinary medicine and animal breeding, as well as human medicine.
