SMALL BUSINESS
China Wind Systems, Inc. Raises $2.4 Million in Private Placement
PR Newswire
WUXI,
China ,
Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Wind Systems,
Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CHWY) ("China Wind Systems" or the "Company"), a
leading supplier of forged products and industrial equipment to the wind power
and other industries in
China , today announced the closing on
October 23, 2009
of a private placement financing with a group of accredited investors led by
Barron Partners LP for 2.4 million shares of series A convertible preferred
stock at a purchase price of
$1.00 per share. The series A preferred stock is
the same series of preferred stock that was issued in the Company's
November
2007 private placement.
Since the Company recently completed a one-for-three reverse split for its
common stock, each share of series A preferred stock is presently convertible
into one-third share of common stock. In connection with the stock sale,
Barron Partners, who purchased 1,500,000 shares of series A preferred stock in
the financing, entered into a voting agreement with
Jianhua Wu, the Company's
chief executive officer, pursuant to which Mr. Wu has the right to vote the
series A preferred stock purchased in the financing and the underlying common
stock as to all matters for which stockholder approval is obtained as long as
Barron Partners or its affiliates own the stock.
Pursuant to the certificate of designation for the series A preferred
stock, no holder can convert the series A preferred stock to common stock, if
the conversion would result in the holder or its affiliates beneficially
owning more than 4.9% of the Company's outstanding common stock. Barron
Partners currently owns more than 5% of the outstanding common stock.
The proceeds from the private placement will be utilized primarily in
connection with funding a new production line for electro-slag re-melted (ESR)
products at the Company's forged products facility. ESR technology is utilized
to increase the durability and quality of steel material used in high-quality
yaw bearings and other high performance components.
"We anticipate that we will begin production of ESR forged products by
mid-year 2010," commented Mr.
Jianhua Wu, Chairman and CEO of China Wind
Systems, Inc. "We believe that our competitive position would be enhanced by
manufacturing ESR products, which are high-end forged components for the wind
power industry."
The securities issued in the private placement have not been registered
under the United States Securities Act of 1933 as amended or the securities
laws of any other jurisdiction. Until they are registered, these securities
may not be sold by investors in
the United States , except pursuant to an
effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements. For more detailed information on this financing,
refer to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K which was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on
October 26, 2009 .
