Powerwave arranges $150 million three-year secured term loan financing

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 12 - Powerwave Technologies Inc. negotiated a $150 million three-year secured term loan on Sept. 10, according to an 8-K filed Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. P-Wave Holdings, LLC is the agent. The company has already secured an initial $35 million and has commitments for an additional $15 million and then an additional $100 million upon achieving certain milestones.

Interest will accrue on the three-year term loans at a rate per annum equal to 14% in the first year and at 17% after the first year.

Investors will also receive a three-year warrant, exercisable for 75,000 shares at $0.50 per share, for every $1 million invested. The strike price reflects a 31.58% premium to the Sept. 10 closing share price of $0.38.

Proceeds will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Powerwave is a Santa Ana, Calif.-based supplier of end-to-end wireless services for wireless communications networks.
