Knoxville, Tenn., April 1 – Real Goods Solar, Inc. arranged a $10 million private placement of convertible senior secured notes on April 1, according to an 8-K filed Friday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The 8% notes are being sold in the form of units at $1.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one $1.00 note and fractional warrants. The offering will issue warrants for a total of 4,979,460 shares.

The conversion price has a floor of $0.25 per share. The note matures on April 1, 2019.

The five-year warrants are each exercisable at $0.828.

The strike price and fixed conversion price are 15% and 0.52% premiums to the March 31 closing share price of $0.72.
