XiTec has already signed a letter of intent with a group of private investors that will give the firm about $900,000 to $1.5 million in financing. XiTecs investors will contribute the funding in exchange for up to 1.5 million shares of preferred stock. The deal includes the option to convert the preferred shares into XiTec common stock that would result in the buyers owning as much as 44% of the company.
