Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 18 - Gulfstream International Group, Inc. arranged a $5.1 million private placement of secured original issue discount debentures on Sept. 12 and a $1 million sale of junior subordinated debentures on Sept. 15, according to an 8-K filed Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Shelter Island Opportunity Fund, LLC is the investor of the discount debentures. Gulfstream Funding, LLC will buy the junior debentures.

The discount debentures have a three-year term, with an interest rate of the higher of Prime rate plus 4% or 11%, payable monthly.

The junior debentures may be converted into common stock at a conversion price of $3.00 per share.
