Algorhythm Holdings Expands Financial Support for SemiCab
Multi-Million Dollar, Non-Dilutive Facility Supports
SemiCab’s Three Largest Global Customers
Fort Lauderdale, FL —Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (“Algorhythm”) (NASDAQ: RIME) is proud to announce that its subsidiary, SMCB Solutions Private Limited, known as SemiCab India, has established a significant supply chain finance receivables facility with Bank of America.
This financial facility grants SemiCab India crucial access to competitive, non-dilutive working capital. It enables the rapid payment of all eligible accounts receivable from its three largest global clients, including some of the largest multinational companies in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and automotive sectors in India. The arrangement provides accelerated payments on qualified accounts with rates set at a mere 1% above the prevailing Indian one-year Treasury Bill rate, which aligns closely with 5.6% at present. This system is entirely non-dilutive, meaning it does not involve any equity-based stipulations.
Gary Atkinson, CEO of Algorhythm, expressed his enthusiasm for this achievement, stating, “This milestone showcases our value as a strategic partner and illustrates the quality of capital now available to SemiCab. Our global clients’ financing strategies will enable us to leverage their remarkably low capital costs for harnessing accounts receivable collection. This facility allows immediate access to working capital at significantly reduced rates, letting us expand quickly without leaning heavily on capital markets for equity.”
Atkinson further elaborated, “By combining this program with our recent $4.4 million financing, we are now well-prepared for the upcoming years to underpin SemiCab’s accelerated growth. Our priority is to broaden these client-centered financing options across additional partnerships, solidifying our path to becoming a leading force in AI-driven logistics and distribution solutions.”
