12 Jan 2010capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
On January 11, 2010, NGAS agreed to swap the $37 million 6% convertible notes (due December 2010) for $28.7 million of new 6% amortizing notes due May 1, 2012, plus 3,037,151 shares, warrants for 1,285,038 shares at $2.37, and about $2.7 million cash. The new notes convert at $2.18 per share and require 24 monthly payments from June 2010, which NGAS may pay in shares. KeyBank agreed a Fourth Amendment, taking the borrowing base from $55 million with monthly $1 million cuts from February 2010 and limiting cash passed up from the operating subsidiary. This extends the debt maturity but increases dilution risk; the filing says the share issuance above 19.99% needs shareholder approval at the next annual meeting.

NGAS agreed on December 13, 2005 and issued on December 14 $37 million of 6% convertible notes due December 15, 2010 to institutional investors, convertible at $14.34 per share, plus warrants for up to 945,809 shares at $13.04. Terms include price-adjustment protection for investors if shares are later sold cheaper, repayment at 125% on default and at least 110% on a change of control, and a promise to seek shareholder approval at the next annual meeting; this is much larger than the $6.1 million note of October 2004 and could dilute existing holders if converted.
NGAS Resources completed a private placement of a $6.1 million 7% convertible note, with related stock purchase warrants, to one institutional investor on October 4, 2004. This adds debt that can convert into shares; the filing does not give the conversion price or warrant terms in its text.
