MIAMI, FL, Feb. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Spindle, Inc. (OTCQB: SPDL ) ("Spindle" or the "Company"), a provider of payment processing, marketing and other business services, today commented on recent corporate action involving an increase in its authorized shares on February 5, 2019.
Dr. Jack Scott, Chairman and interim CEO, noted, “The Company's increase in authorized shares is the first step in a logistical move designed to allow for the reserves necessary to bring in more advantageous financing and eliminate previous, less advantageous financing. Share reserves are commonplace with convertible notes and are set at a higher multiple of the shares than will generally be issued upon conversion. Reserve shares are held by our transfer agent and are not issued and outstanding. Based on the present conditions, Spindle believes that its actual reserve requirement necessary to source new financing would be significantly less than the total of the newly authorized shares.”
Spindle’s President Chris Wesser stated, “This is an important time of year for the Company and its stockholders. There is a long period between the release of the third-quarter 10-Q, which we filed on November 19, 2018, and the 2018 10-K, which we expect to timely file by April 15, 2019. When there is a long period between filings, investors may experience an information void where a company may be limited in the information it may convey.”
Wesser continued, “During such a period, it is easy for investors to lose sight of the Company’s progress as well as their own rationale for investing in the Company to begin with. Management is keenly aware of this; however, such communication limitations must remain in place until plans become solidified and targeted milestones completed. I wanted to take this opportunity to reassure investors that Spindle’s management is both committed to, and making progress on, the strategies outlined in our most recent 10-Q.
“As I speak, I believe that we are close to achieving several of the critical early benchmarks identified as necessary to support our strategic plan, and we remain committed to providing more detailed information about our progress as it becomes permissible for us to do so. I also want to remind investors that when we take a corporate action, such as our recent authorized share increase, we never do so lightly. Rather, we do so after reasoned discussion and analysis, and only for reasons that we believe positively impact our ability to make progress on our strategic plan.”
