AOI Medical, Inc. Successfully Raises US$2.6 Million Through the Issue of Senior
Convertible Loan Notes
London, UK, 5 August 2009 - AOI Medical, Inc. (the "Company" or "AOI") (AIM:
AOI), has successfully raised US$2.6 million through the issue of senior
convertible loan notes. The net proceeds from this fundraising will be used to
augment the Company's working capital as it nears the completion of a clinical
trial with Ascendx(TM), its vertebral compression fracture reduction system.
The senior convertible loan notes ("SCLN's"), shall be repayable on or before 30
September 2012 although the SCLN's shall become convertible at the option of the
holder after 1 October 2011 (the "Conversion Date"). The SCLN's carry a coupon
of 8 per cent. interest per annum, payable quarterly in arrears until such time
as they are repaid or converted in accordance with the terms. The SCLN's are
callable, or repaid with no risk of conversion, by the Company on or before the
Conversion Date, after which the SCLN's are convertible into shares of common
stock in the Company ("Common Shares") at a price of 60 cents per Common Share.
Additionally, subscribers for the SCLN's will be issued 333 warrants, with an
exercise price of 60 cents per Common Share, for each US$1,000 principal amount
of SCLNs purchased and an additional 100 warrants for each US$1,000 principal
amount of SCLNs purchased if the SCLN's have not been repaid by the Conversion
Date (the "Warrants"). The Warrants may be exercised into new Common Shares at
any time prior to the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the Warrants. If
the SCLN's were converted in full after the Conversion Date and all the Warrants
exercised, 5,459,133 new Common Shares would be issued, representing up to
approximately 64 per cent. of the current issued share capital of the Company.
The SCLN's carry prepayment penalties in year one (1), two (2) and three (3) of
10 per cent., 20 per cent. and 30 per cent., respectively.
