NEW YORK, Jan. 3 / Solar Integrated Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of commercial building integrated photovoltaic roofs, announced today that it has signed a revolving line of credit with an affiliate of GE Energy Financial Services for up to US$20 million. The credit facility is for a term of up to five years, and will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Solar Integrated granted GE Energy Financial Services five-year warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock of Solar Integrated at a strike price of US$3.392 per share (currently equivalent to 1.9688 pounds Sterling per share), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
