FWIW FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 30, 1997 ALTAIR COMPLETES $10 MILLION CONVERTIBLE DEBT FINANCING OFFERED THROUGH PRUDENTIAL SECURITIES CODY, WY -- Altair International Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTIF/ ASE:AIL) today announced the closing of a $10 million convertible debt financing. Under the terms of the financing, funding will be made in two blocks - $5 million at closing with the additional $5 million available between eight and ten months after closing, at Altair's option. Financing was provided by an institutional investor. Prudential Securities Incorporated acted as placement agent and financial advisor to Altair. "This financing gives Altair increased financial strength to proceed with our Tennessee property and bring the centrifugal jig to market," said Dr. William Long, Altair's President. The debt conversion price is determined by using a formula based on Altair's stock price at the time of conversion. The convertible debt accrues interest at 5%, payable in cash or common stock. The investors also received two year warrants to purchase up to 150,000 shares of the company's common stock at 125% of the common stock price on the day prior to closing.
