Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ:GLUU), a publisher of mobile games, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of common stock and warrants to ten existing stockholders and ten new investors in a private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $13.5 million. The closing of the private placement is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including stockholder approval for the issuance of the common stock and the warrants (including the issuance of common stock upon full exercise of the warrants). As a condition of this financing, certain of Glu’s stockholders, beneficially owning approximately 50.2% of Glu’s outstanding common stock as of June 15, 2010, have entered into voting agreements with the lead investor requiring them to vote their shares at a special stockholders meeting in favor of this financing. Investors in this financing include certain members of Glu’s board of directors and/or their affiliates, including Greenway Capital (Matthew Drapkin), GGV Capital (Hany Nada) and New Enterprise Associates (A. Brooke Seawell).

Under the terms of the agreement, Glu has agreed to sell an aggregate of 13,495,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.00 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,747,500 shares of common stock which will become exercisable at an exercise price of $1.50 per share commencing immediately after the closing of the financing and at any time or from time to time on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the closing. The exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted for issuances of securities by Glu at prices below the exercise price on a weighted-average basis.

The securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an applicable exemption from those registration requirements. Glu will be required, among other things, to file a resale registration statement within 30 days following the closing of the financing that covers the resale by the purchasers of the shares and the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

“We are very pleased with the support of our stockholders in this private placement,” stated Niccolo de Masi, Chief Executive Officer of Glu. “The proceeds will significantly improve our capital structure as well as enable us to continue to execute on our new strategic plan of persistent, cross-platform mobile games.”

Glu will file a Form 8-K with the SEC, which will include the definitive documentation for the private placement.
