HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., Aug. 10, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Quintek Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:QTEK) announced today that it has signed an agreement with the private equity fund, Golden Gate Investors, based in San Francisco, CA to provide Quintek with $3.3 million in capital. This capital will allow Quintek to move forward and execute its growth plans.
The deal is structured as two year $300,000 convertible notes paying 5 3/4% interest and 3,000,000 warrants to purchase common stock for a period of three years at $1.00. The notes will be converted periodically over the next two years at prices up to $0.50 a share based on the market price of Quintek's common stock prior to conversion. Upon conversion of the note, the fund is obligated to simultaneously exercise the $1.00 warrants providing added funding to the company.
Quintek CEO Robert Steele stated, "This institutional funding will allow the company to produce the rapid growth that we anticipate. This transaction also shows how our relationship with WestPark Capital has expanded our access to institutional investors." Steele added, "The funding deal with GGI comes on the heels of a recent institutional commitment from a London-based investment company to purchase shares from Quintek at market price with a two year hold, further validation of our plan and showing that there is long term interest in our Company. We anticipate continued growing interest from individual and institutional investors."
