HearAtLast Completes Latest Round of Financing and Converts $2 Million of Debt Into Preferred Series 'B' Shares

MISSISSAUGA, ON--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 12, 2009 -- HearAtLast Holdings, Inc. (Other OTC:HRAL.PK - News) announced today that it has completed its final round of financing from a private Investor for USD$1.9M by issuing the Company's Series 'B' Preferred Shares at a stated value of $10.00 per share.

Furthermore, the Company also converted USD$2.0M of debt into equity by issuing its Convertible Preferred Series 'B' Shares at $10.00 per unit. The Series 'B' Preferred Shares also have attached 2 year warrants to purchase ten shares of Common Stock at $0.50 a share for every Series 'B' Share held. The Series 'B' shares do not have any voting rights. In total, HearAtLast has issued $3.9M in Series 'B' Preferred Shares at $10.00 per share or 390,000 Series 'B' Preferred Shares.

The infusion of cash in return for the Company's Series 'B' Preferred Shares enabled HearAtLast to obtain funding without further dilution or issuance of the Company's common stock. "Based on today's market value for our stock, we felt it was prudent to issue a special series of our Preferred Shares with a stated value of $10.00 per share rather than issue common shares at today's current price levels that would have drastically diluted our common stock," stated Matthew Sacco, President and CEO of HearAtLast Holdings, Inc.

Matthew Sacco further stated that as the Company seeks out new financing, it will use any future funding as a catalyst in developing new Hearing Stores throughout Canada in Select Wal-Mart locations. "We have created a special class of shares, Series 'B' Convertible Preferred Shares, priced at $10.00 per share for the purpose of funding and capitalizing the Company," added Mr. Sacco.

The cash injection has been used to pay down its payables and develop our model of Hearing Stores within Select Wal-Mart stores. With the conversion of HearAtLast debt being recorded in the last quarter and the infusion of additional capital, HearAtLast will strengthen the Company's shareholder equity.
