IDAHO FALLS, Idaho, Feb. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- International Isotopes Inc. (OTCQB: INIS) (the "Company") announces that is has completed a private placement with certain investors for approximately $3.4 million of a new series of preferred stock of the Company, Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series C Stock").  The Series C Stock accrues dividends at an annual rate of 6% and is convertible into common shares at $0.10 per share.  The Company plans to use the proceeds for operating capital, to pay off short term debt and continue development work on additional generic pharmaceutical and radiopharmaceutical products.  Last November, the Company announced that it had submitted its first abbreviated new drug application (aNDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its I³odine/MAX^TM sodium iodide radiopharmaceutical product.  This funding will facilitate the advancement of additional radiopharmaceutical products currently in the Company's pipeline.

Steve T. Laflin, President and CEO of the Company, said, "We are very encouraged by the strong level of support expressed by investors in this Preferred Stock offering.  The offering was led by current officers and major shareholders who contributed over 60% of the total funds raised.  We will use this funding to provide operating capital to support our objective of continued development of additional new generic drug products.  We believe there are several significant opportunities for the introduction of niche radiopharmaeutical products in the United States. We believe that the Company, with several decades of experience handling radiochemicals, is especially well suited to rapidly gear up for new production processes and we plan to aggressively pursue these new product opportunities."

The Company also noted that it plans to release its next annual report on form 10-K on or about March 31, 2017.
