New Issue: VendingData raises $13 million from sale of notes with warrants

By Sheri Kasprzak

New York, May 8 - VendingData Corp. has concluded a $13 million private placement of senior secured notes with funds managed by Bricoleur Capital Management.

Four of Bicoleur's funds bought 8% notes due March 31, 2011.

The notes are due in four equal payments of $1.5 million for the first four years, with the rest due at maturity.

The investor will also receive warrants for 3.2 million shares, exercisable for five years at $2.50 each.

Connected to the agreement, the Bricoleur funds agreed to purchase up to $5 million shares of VendingData in puts of at least $1 million, at VendingData's option.

The price per share is equal to 80% of the volume-weighted average price on the day of a draw with a $3.50 floor.

Also, VendingData converted $5.22 million of 10% senior secured notes issued in February and March 2005 into 3,166,661 shares at $1.65 each.

The proceeds from the placement will be used for debt retirement, a proposed acquisition and working capital.

Las Vegas-based VendingData develops products for the gaming industry.
