BOSTON, MA--(Marketwired - Jul 22, 2013) - Worlds Inc. (
As part of its efforts to achieve listing on a senior exchange, Worlds also formally entered into a representation agreement with Chardan Capital Markets to provide financial advisement services.
Mr. Thom Kidrin, Worlds' President and CEO, stated, "Shareholder approval of these matters enables us to move forward with the next steps to apply and qualify to be listed on NASDAQ or another senior exchange. We believe that Chardan Capital's experience with companies specializing in IP and their track record in assisting companies to successfully up-list to major exchanges makes them an ideal fit for Worlds."
World has finalized a restructure of financing terms with its strategic lenders, completing the plans that were announced previously. The restructuring has removed significant debt from Worlds' balance sheet and greatly reduces convertible securities, thereby avoiding potential dilution. Details in 8-K dated 07-16-2013 on www.SEC.gov .
Mr. Kidrin added, "Our lenders are now long term shareholders and I believe this is a very positive development for Worlds' shareholders. We are now focused on the upcoming Markman hearing August 22 on our patent infringement lawsuit against Activision Blizzard et al, and look forward to a favorable outcome."
