Item 2.02.  Results of Operations And Financial Condition.

 

On August 3, 2005, Inverness Medical Innovations, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release entitled “Inverness Medical Innovations Announces Second Quarter 2005 Results,” a copy of which is furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.

 

Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Item 3.02.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On or about August 2, 2005, the Company sold 4 million shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”) to funds affiliated with 3 accredited institutional investors (“Investors”) at a price of $23.76 per share.  The net proceeds of the sale were $92.8 million after subtracting aggregate placement fees and commissions of approximately $2.3 million.  The Company has used approximately $84 million of the proceeds to reduce the amount outstanding under its senior credit facility to approximately $5 million, including repayment in full of the term loans which were a part of that facility.  As a result, the Company currently has availability of approximately $75 million under the revolving credit lines of its senior credit facility.

 

The Shares were sold pursuant to the terms of Stock Purchase Agreements dated July 29, 2005 (the “Purchase Agreements”) substantially in the form appended to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.2, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Shares were offered and sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D.  However, the Purchase Agreements require the Company to subsequently register the resale of the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
