Oilfield services company HII Technologies Inc. (OTC: HIIT) closed a private placement of 4,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock for about $3.87 million in net proceeds, the company said July 8.

Purchasers also received warrants to purchase 500 common shares for each Series A share, the company said. The warrants are exercisable for three years at $1.00 per share, the company added.

"We are very pleased to complete this equity financing originally contemplated at $3 million and oversubscribed to close at $4 million," said Matthew Flemming, CEO.

"This equity strengthens our balance sheet and can be used for acquisitions or general working capital purposes. With strong market growth and demand for our services, we now have flexibility to deploy this capital with a goal of generating attractive returns for our shareholders."
