DAVIE, FL, United States, via eTeligis Inc., 05/06/2014 - - Vapor Group, Inc. (OTCQB: VPOR), (the "Company," "Vapor Group") announced today that it had closed a private placement with Hanover Holdings I, LLC ("Hanover"), an affiliate of Magna Group ("Magna"), in aggregate principal amount of $1,342,391.17 in 8% Senior Convertible Notes ("Notes") due twelve months from the date of issuance. The Notes were purchased by Hanover for $1,235,000. Proceeds from the Notes will be used by the Company to expand its business by, among other things, increasing product inventories for its brands and for expansion of the sales and marketing of its newly acquired subsidiary, American Vaporizer, LLC, including the purchase of additional inventories of product and e-liquids for its "American Smoke" brand.
Vapor Group's President and CEO, Dror Svorai, said, "We are delighted to have closed this private placement, the proceeds from which we are immediately using to increase our inventories of e-liquids, e-cigarettes and vaporizers. A continuing challenge for us has been that because we have been experiencing a non-stop accelerated product demand, we have constantly been required to increase our inventory investment. As a result, we needed to seek the best financing agreement attainable to fund the extra inventory. Hanover came through for us."
Under terms of the private placement, after six months from issuance, or October 29, 2014, The Notes may be converted, in whole or in part, at Hanover's option, at a fixed conversion price of $0.15 per share of the Company's common stock and subject to certain limitations and exceptions stated within the Notes as detailed in the corresponding Form 8-K to be filed in conjunction with this press release.
Neither the Notes, nor the shares of Vapor Group's Common Stock issuable upon any future conversion of the Notes, have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and none of these securities may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction where such offer or solicitation would be unlawful.
