PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwired - Jun 20, 2013) - Mobivity Holdings Corp. (
The financing consisted of the Company's initial sale of common shares in exchange for $5,795,000 of new capital and the conversion of $5,122,805 of principal and accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under previously issued 10% Senior Secured Bridge Notes ("Bridge Notes"), at an offering price of $0.20 per share. Emerging Growth Equities, Ltd. acted as the exclusive placement agent for the financing. The financing proceeds will be used to pay off the remaining $1,400,000 consideration related to the previously announced Front Door Insights acquisition and for future working capital needs. Additional details regarding the financing can be found in the Form 8-K to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The cash portion of financing represents the initial closing of the proposed sale of up to $7.5 million of common shares by the Company at $0.20 per share. The Company expects to conduct additional closings for up to an additional $1,705,000 over the next few days. The Company is also pursuing the conversion of the remaining $217,218 of principal and accrued interest under the Bridge Notes into common shares at the rate of $0.20 per share.
Dennis Becker, Chairman and CEO, explained, "This financing marks a major milestone in the growth of our Company. The amount of new capital, coupled with the conversion of 96% of the outstanding Bridge Notes, provides Mobivity with a relatively debt free balance sheet going forward and over $4 million in cash. Our plan is to move quickly in expanding our sales team to include nationally deployed sales professionals directly serving several geographic markets." He added, " With the addition of Michael Bynum as President and Tom Tolbert as Chief Sales Officer to the executive management team, coupled with the acquisition of Front Door Insights, we believe the Company is now poised for rapid growth."
With more than 11,000 local advertisers already using Mobivity's technology across the U.S., the Company plans to use the proceeds from the financing to aggressively recruit and deploy a national sales force in an effort to expedite customer acquisition and grow market share.
