Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , Michael DeMeo announced today that Carcorp had received and accepted a commitment of $5,000,000 of funding from Europe in the form of secured convertible debentures, which will fund in a series of tranches between now and the end of September, 2002.

, Switzerland is leading this European institutional funding.

The convertible debentures will bear an interest rate of 7.2%, payable monthly over five years, and will be secured by certain assets of the Company. The Company retains the option to redeem the debentures, at any time, at a cost of one hundred twenty percent of face value, plus accrued interest Accrued Interest

. The debentures, at the election of the holders, are convertible into the Company's restricted stock at $1 per share, subject to registration rights after 180 days from the date of closing. If the conversion option is not exercised by the holders, or the debentures are not redeemed during the five year term, the debentures will automatically be converted into the Company's common stock at the end of five years at a price per share equal to eighty percent of the thirty-day average bid price.

"We are pleased with this investment, led by Ravilon Finance of Geneva. It allows us to expand our operations rapidly to take advantage of the demand for financing that is presently going unfulfilled.

EBITDA became popular in the 1980s to show the potential profitability of leveraged buyouts, but has become  and net after-tax profits during the next 12 months. A portion of the proceeds will actually be used in Europe to support certain acquisitions and operations that we are now actively pursuing."

The Company anticipates that this listing should result in a rising stock price since the float traded in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America.
