New Issue: Vertical will raise another $1.05 million from sale of convertible promissory notes

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., May 2 - Vertical Communications, Inc. negotiated another $1.05 million private placement of short-term subordinated convertible promissory notes on April 16, according to an 8-K filed Friday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company sold $5.25 million of the notes in a March 17 deal.

The notes are due on demand, bear interest at 15% and are automatically convertible into series F preferred stock upon a qualifying investment of $1 million by one of the company's shareholders.

Upon conversion, the notes will have similar terms to the company's previously issued series E preferred stock, along with warrants to purchase common shares. If no qualifying investment is made within 60 days, the notes will automatically convert into series F preferred stock but as subordinated to some of the company's more senior debt.

Located in Cambridge, Mass., Vertical develops hardware and software used in the communications sector.
