Super Vision International, Inc. (NASDAQ:SUPVA)�(Class A Common), a
world leader in solid-state LED and fiber optic lighting systems
and controls used in commercial, architectural, signage, swimming
pool and retail lighting applications, today announced that it
closed a private placement of Class A common stock and warrants led
by a group of institutional investors, for gross proceeds of $9.0
million. The net proceeds will be used to reduce Super Vision�s
liabilities and strengthen its balance sheet, for general working
capital and to fund the Company's new strategic plan to expand its
platform of products to meet the increasing demand for LED lighting
systems. Mike Bauer, President and CEO of Super Vision, stated,
�Over the course of the last eleven months we have been working
very hard to eliminate the legacy issues that have burdened the
Company and we have created a dynamic plan to capitalize on the
growing demand for white light LED lighting systems for general
lighting applications. However, given the Company�s financial
resources, an infusion of capital was required in order to fully
execute our plan and position the Company for accelerated growth.�
Mr. Bauer continued, �We have a very clear vision for the Company.
The details of our plan will be unveiled to the market over the
next several months and we feel that these efforts will put the
Company in a leadership position in several exciting new
applications for LED lighting. These funds will also give us the
resources to expand our research and development/intellectual
property efforts and continue to build on the 20 issued patents we
currently hold.� Gross proceeds of approximately $9.0 million
resulted from the sale of approximately 40,360 units at a price of
$223.00 per unit, each unit consisting of 100 shares of Class A
