The investor will purchase shares at a small discount to market, in amounts that vary in relationship to the market price at the time each purchase is made. In addition, warrants to purchase additional shares have been granted at a price in excess of the market. The financing will support ITEC's ability to carry forward its strategic business plan. "This commitment strengthens our cash position on favorable terms, providing us the flexibility we need to manage the Company both in the short and long-term," said Brian Bonar, ITEC CEO. "We examined many financing plans and we are confident that this private placement is the most advantageous to the long-term valuation of ITEC. With this positive program in place, it is no longer necessary for ITEC to pursue the international loan commitment that we announced earlier this year." "We are very pleased to have a new investor show its faith in our business strategy and management team," Bonar said. "We are looking forward to working with this new investor, who, through this program, has demonstrated that it shares our belief in the future of ITEC."
