New Issue: Global Concepts gets $5 million equity line, raises $2.5 million from convertibles

By Sheri Kasprzak

New York, Aug. 11 - Global Concepts Ltd. said it has received a $5 million equity line from Cornell Capital Partners, LP and also sold $2.5 million in convertible debentures to Cornell.

Under the terms of the standby equity distribution agreement, Cornell may buy shares of Global Concepts over two years at 95% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price during the five trading days following a draw request.

There is a $250,000 limit on each demand, and the company may not draw from the line more than once every five trading days.

Cornell also bought a $2.5 million secured convertible debenture for cash proceeds of $1.8 million. The debenture, priced at 72, has a stated interest rate of 12% annually, matures on Feb. 1, 2007 and is convertible into common shares at $0.20 each. For the debenture, Cornell paid $1.8 million in cash and surrendered a $1.5 million promissory note issued by Global Concepts in January. Because only $1.8 million in cash was paid for the note, the actual interest rate will exceed 36%.

Cornell also received warrants for up to 5 million shares, exercisable at $0.25 each for three years.

Based in Montclair, N.J., Global Concepts prepares new cars for delivery.
