NACEL Energy Enters Into a Definitive Agreement to Raise $750,000 Through a Private Placement to an Institutional Investor
PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire - November 24, 2009) - NACEL Energy Corporation ( European American Equities, Inc. served as exclusive placement agent for the transaction. NACEL Energy's Board of Directors issued the following statement: "This infusion of new capital into NACEL will be put to work to advance our six wind power projects -- Blue Creek, Channing Flats, Swisher, Hedley Pointe and Leila Lakes in Texas, Snowflake in Arizona, as well as potential future projects, with the objective of obtaining power purchase agreements from utility customers in the coming months, which will be used to secure project financing for the construction and installation of wind turbines. Since the inception of NACEL, we have systematically followed the steps of our business model, unique in the U.S. wind industry, of identifying pockets of transmission capacity in the nation's electric grid which support the phased development of 10 megawatts or more of [ wind energy ] per project." The original principal amount of the Note is $900,000 and is convertible by the holder into shares of NACEL's common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.90. The Note amortizes over 12 months in 9 equal monthly installments beginning in the 4th month. NACEL may pay each monthly installment due in cash or, subject to the satisfaction of customary equity conditions, in shares of NACEL's common stock. If payment is made in shares, the number of shares issued by NACEL will be based on the lower of (a) the conversion price then in effect or (b) a 10% discount to the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average prices of NACEL's common stock on each of the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the applicable installment due date, with such discounted price being subject to a floor of $0.75. In connection with the transaction, NACEL will issue Series A Warrants to the investor, which will be exercisable for a period of 5 years for up to 1,250,000 shares of NACEL's common stock, with an initial exercise price of $0.90. NACEL will also issue Series B Warrants that entitle the investor to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock (for an aggregate exercise price of $900,000) until the 1 year anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement to be filed by NACEL. NACEL can require the investor to purchase all of the shares under the Series B Warrant upon satisfaction of certain customary conditions. Upon exercise of the Series B Warrants, the investor will be entitled to exercise the same proportion of the Series C Warrants to be issued to the investor. The Series C Warrants are exercisable for a period of 5 years for up to 1,250,000 shares of NACEL's common stock. The initial exercise price of both the Series B Warrant and the Series C Warrant is $0.90. The conversion price of the Note, the exercise price of each of the Warrants and the number of warrant shares are all subject to adjustment (including full-ratchet) upon occurrence of certain events. NACEL's obligations under the Note and the other transaction documents will be secured by a first priority, perfected security interest in all of the assets of NACEL. Additionally, each of NACEL's subsidiaries will guarantee the obligations of NACEL under the Note and the other transaction documents, and each such guarantee will be secured by a first priority, perfected security interest in all of the assets of each such subsidiary. The securities sold in the private placement and the shares issuable upon the conversion of the Note and upon the exercise of the Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without being registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") or through an applicable exemption from registration requirements. NACEL will provide customary registration rights in connection with the transaction, which will require NACEL to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Note and upon the exercise of the Warrants. NACEL will provide more complete information about this transaction in a Current Report on Form 8-K which will be promptly filed with the SEC.
