New Issue: Railpower to raise C$30 million from private placement of units

By Laura Lutz

Indianapolis, Jan. 23 - Railpower Technologies Corp. arranged a private placement of units, which was later upsized to C$30 million.

The company now plans to sell 30 million units of one share and one half-share warrant at C$1.00 per unit. Each whole warrant will be exercisable at C$1.25 for three years.

The placement priced earlier on Tuesday as a C$25 million placement of 30 million units. The deal size was increased by the underwriters later in the day.

The deal will be underwritten by a syndicate led by Canaccord Adams and Sprott Securities Inc. and including National Bank Financial Inc., Paradigm Capital Inc. and Pacific International Securities Inc.

The underwriters have a greenshoe for up to 15% of the offering size. The greenshoe is exercisable until 30 days after closing, which is expected on Feb. 13.

Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

Based in Toronto, Railpower produces energy technology systems for the transportation sector.
