New York Regional Rail Corp. (NYRR) has a new investor. Transit Rail L.L.C. recently agreed to purchase stock in the transportation holding company throughout 2004 and bought the first round of 500 preferred shares for $500,000.
If Transit Rail purchases 2,000 additional shares, the company will acquire voting control of NYRR through Series D stock.
NYRR also recently reached agreements to convert about $730,000 of debt into 7.3 million shares of common stock, completed a private placement of $300,000 to issue 6.8 million shares of common stock and executed an option to purchase the remaining 49 percent of JS Transportation Inc.'s (JST) stock in exchange for 4 million shares of common stock.
"The conversion of debt, infusion of capital and exercise of the JST option will significantly enhance our balance sheet," said NYRR Chairman Gordon Kuhn in a prepared statement
Meanwhile, NYRR elected Don Hutton and Douglas Szalasny to its board. Szalasny has accounting, financial reporting and management experience in construction and other industries; Hutton recently served the state of New York in various positions, including transportation capacities.
NYRR owns and operates New York Cross Harbor Railroad short-haul regional trucking firm JST.
