GoFish Corporation (OTCBB: GOFH, www.gofishcorp.com [1]), a leading online youth entertainment and media network, has closed the remaining $2 million portion of a previously announced private placement financing totaling $3.5 million. The financing, including the initial $1.5 million announced in April 2008, has now been fully subscribed.
In this second closing, GoFish sold to certain accredited investors unsecured convertible original issue discount notes due June 8, 2010, with proceeds of $2 million to GoFish (prior to the payment of approximately $32,000 in fees related to the transaction) and related warrants for investors to purchase an aggregate of 2,284,414 shares of GoFish common stock with an exercise price of $1.75.
The notes, which mature on June 8, 2010, are discounted 15% from their respective principal amounts and can be converted into shares of GoFish common stock 181 days after the date of issuance at a conversion price of $2.06 per share. Both the notes and the warrants have certain anti-dilution protections. Several employees and affiliates of GoFish participated in the second closing and acquired notes with a purchase price of $1,125,000 and warrants to purchase 1,284,982 shares of GoFish common stock.
“This financing will help us to continue establishing GoFish’s dominance as a thought leader in immersive online brand advertising targeting youth and moms,” said Matt Freeman, CEO of GoFish.
