DALLAS, April 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Carreker Corporation (Nasdaq: CANI - news), a leading provider of e-finance enabling solutions for the financial industry, announced today that it has sold approximately 1,282,000 common shares to institutional investors in a Private Investment Public Equity (``PIPE'') transaction.

The common stock was sold at a price of $7.83 per share resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $9.3 million in new equity capital after fees and expenses. As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company plans to file a Form S-3 within 10 business days after the closing of the transaction for purposes of registering the resale of the privately placed shares.

The common shares sold have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration. This release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of those securities in any state where such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities law of such state. Any offering of Carreker shares under the resale registration statement will be made only by prospectus.
