Stonepath Group (AMEX: STG), a global logistics services
organization, today announced that it has completed a new domestic
credit facility with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd ("Laurus").
The new $25 million secured domestic revolving credit facility
includes a $10 million note convertible into Stonepath's common stock
at a price of $1.08 per share, and a revolving note, which is not
convertible into any securities. In the event the convertible note,
and any subsequent convertible note, has been fully converted during
the three year period of the credit facility, a new $10 million note
will be issued which is convertible into Stonepath's common stock at a
price of 115% of the average market price of Stonepath's common stock
for the ten trading days prior to the issuance of such note.
Additionally, Stonepath issued Laurus a warrant to purchase up to
2.5 million shares of the Company's common stock for a period of five
years, at an exercise price which varies with the number of shares
purchased under the Warrant, for prices ranging from $1.13 to $7.52.
Dennis Pelino, Stonepath's Chairman, remarked, "This financing
agreement provides Stonepath with the financial flexibility to support
our ongoing expansion and future growth. With our restructuring
initiatives complete and financial performance improving, Stonepath is
well positioned to achieve our long-term objective of becoming a
leading logistics and supply chain provider with the ability to
capitalize on global market opportunities."
Proceeds from the financing agreement will be used to prepay
Stonepath's prior credit facility with an affiliate of Patriarch
Partners, LLC and will be used in the future for general corporate
purposes.
Further details on the financing agreements are available in the
Company's Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on September 7, 2005.
Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. is a private equity fund that specializes
