For the fourth time this year, Knoxville-based Miller Energy Resources has tapped investors for a fresh infusion of cash needed for general corporate purposes.
Miller announced Tuesday that it raised $25 million from the sale of 1 million shares of “Series D” preferred stock. The sale was completed Sept. 30.
The oil and natural gas company previously raised $32.6 million in stock sales in February, May and July.
Miller has struggled financially in recent months. The company reported in July a loss of $13.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, more than half its loss for the full 2013 fiscal year.
The net loss attributable to common stockholders was 31 cents per diluted share, up from a loss of $8.4 million, or 20 cents per share, in the 2012 fourth-quarter, the company said.
Miller is an oil and natural gas exploration and production company with operations in Alaska and East Tennessee.
