UniPixel Announces Closure of Bridge Loan Financing

Subsequent to the final closing and as described in the terms of the financing, all of the preferred equity held institutionally by Tudor Investment Capital (and affiliates) and Bank of America/Merrill Lynch has been converted to common shares effective October 2, 2009. In accomplishing this conversion, the Company has consolidated all equity into a single class of common shares. The convertible debt also has provisions for conversion into common shares.

Reed Killion, UniPixel's President and CEO, noted, "We are pleased to have secured additional working capital in what is a very difficult economic market. The recent initial orders for Opcuity(TM) film products and the advancements made with our TMOS display technology have moved the company from a development stage company to a company that is designing and manufacturing performance engineered films. We will use these funds to support further development and production to meet growing demand of our films. The level of interest we are seeing in our film products has continued to increase with the proliferation of touch enabling hardware and operating systems. This profound shift in the way that users interact with their technology devices and the growing awareness surrounding UniPixel has provided us with a great opportunity upon which to capitalize. We are thankful to our friends at Fordham Financial Management for their support in reaching this important funding milestone."
