CALGARY, Alberta. Advanced ID Corporation (the “Company”) , a leading
developer of radio frequency identification (“RFID”) technology for livestock
tracking, pet recovery and supply chain applications focusing on the tire
management industry, today announced that it has entered into a funding
agreement with La Jolla Cove Investors (“LJCI”) for $3 million. The proceeds
from the investment will be used for the Company’s growth initiatives, including
its expansion in China and for working capital related to the fulfillment of
certain large RFID contracts recently received and anticipated as well as for
other general corporate purposes.
“We are pleased to announce the investment by La Jolla Cove Investors in
Advanced ID which significantly paves the way for us to attain profitability in
2009,” said Dan Finch, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “In
the face of severe conditions in the capital markets where funding has been
virtually nonexistent within the micro cap sector, the investment by an
institutional investor such as LJCI validates our business strategy and the
competitive position we maintain with our world class RFID technology.”
Under the terms of the investment by LJCI, a California-based private
investment company, Advanced ID will sell three convertible debentures to LJCI
for a total funding of $3 million. The convertible debentures carry an annual
interest rate of 6% and are each in the principal amount of $1,000,000 with an
expiration of twelve months after issuance. |
