Implant Sciences Completes $20,000,000 Refinancing

WILMINGTON, Mass., March 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Implant Sciences Corporation (OTCQB: IMSC), a high technology supplier of systems and sensors for homeland security and defense markets, today announced the execution of a Note Purchase Agreement with an accredited institutional investor group based in New York City, on March 19, 2014.  The Company issued senior secured promissory notes in the principal amount of $20,000,000 to this investor group. Implant Sciences used the proceeds of the loan to pay down its DMRJ Group LLC line of credit as well as some portions of its other indebtedness to DMRJ.

The new notes mature on March 31, 2015, are not convertible in shares of the Company's common stock and bear interest at 15% per annum, payable quarterly. The loan may be prepaid by Implant Sciences on 30 days' notice, without premium or penalty. The new loans, which are senior to the DMRJ debt, are secured by the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

In addition to this refinancing, DMRJ has agreed to extend the maturity of all Implant Sciences' indebtedness from September 30, 2014 to March 31, 2015 and has agreed to subordinate its position to the new lenders. No other terms or conditions of the DMRJ credit agreements were changed.

"We believe our ability to execute this non-convertible debt financing agreement with new lenders is based on the strength of our operations, our market traction in explosives trace detection, and the future potential of Implant Sciences. The loan gives us the flexibility to pay down our DMRJ debt while also providing additional working capital," stated Implant Sciences' President and CEO, Glenn Bolduc. "We are also happy to announce the extension of our loans from DMRJ. DMRJ has been consistently supportive of our Company and has provided us the capital we needed to get to where we are today. We are pleased to continue to work with them."

Detailed information on additional terms of the new notes and the extension can be found in the Company's Report on Form 8-K, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
