The notes mature three years from issuance and have an initial conversion price of $0.19 per share. Interest is payable quarterly in cash on the first day of January, April, July and October of each year and on maturity date, commencing October 1, 2009. The notes are secured by a personal guaranty by Baowen Ren, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as well as a pledge of 35 million shares of common stock held by Mr. Ren and certain other shareholders of the Company. The conversion price is automatically adjusted 25% lower if the Company does not achieve $40 million in revenue and $10 million in net income for fiscal 2009, and 20% lower if the Company does not achieve $70 million in revenue and $15 million in net income for fiscal 2010.
The warrants expire in three years with an initial exercise price of $0.285 per share.
"The capital raised affords us the opportunity to move forward on increasing our production capacity, currently at 350,000 metric tons annually," commented Mr. Ren. "With more companies turning to coal-water mixture for their energy needs, we want to be in a position to meet the anticipated increase in demand."
In conjunction with the first closing on July 1, 2009, the Company redeemed or converted all of the then outstanding 18% senior convertible debentures that the Company previously issued in September 2008, including all accrued interests.
