CirTran
Corporation, a full-service contract manufacturer of IT,
consumer and consumer electronics products, announced recently
that it has received $1.5 million in financing through a
securities purchase agreement with Cornell Capital Partners.
Iehab J. Hawatmeh,
founder and president of CirTran, said the funding agreement was
based on a 5% secured debenture, due April 23, 2009. As part of
the transaction, he said CirTran paid a commitment fee of
$120,000 and a structuring fee of $15,000, with net proceeds to
the company of $1,365,000.
"As CirTran moves
forward with our strategic business plan into the fourth quarter
and fiscal 2007, we will use these funds for general corporate
and working capital," Mr. Hawatmeh said. "This will include our
off-shore manufacturing business, which focuses on the direct
response/sold-on-TV marketplace, for our new marketing
divisions, which concentrate on that market, and in our core
contract technology-based manufacturing business in Salt Lake."
Mr. Hawatmeh said
that the agreement calls for Cornell, at its option, to convert
all or part of the principal amount owed under the Debenture
into shares of CirTran common stock at a conversion price equal
to the lowest closing bid price for the 20 trading days
immediately preceding the conversion date, except as otherwise
set forth in the debenture. Cornell, he said, may also convert
up to $500,000 worth of the principal amount, plus accrued
interest of the Debenture, in any consecutive 30-day period when
the price of CirTran stock is $0.03 per share or less at the
time of conversion.
"CirTran is
appreciative of the continued support of the private investment
community," said Mr. Hawatmeh. "Cornell has shown faith in
CirTran and our strategic plan over years, as evidenced by this
debenture which comes due in 2009. Most recently, ANAHOP,
another private investor, has made multiple stock purchases and
entered into a forward-looking program based on warrants and the
future. Our primary goal," he said, "is to continue to work to
reward our shareholders and private investors alike."
