TULSA, OK --(Marketwired - July 30, 2013) - 3DIcon Corporation (
The Company is focused on the development and commercialization of its CSpace® volumetric 3D display technology that is initially intended for use in government and industrial applications like air traffic control, homeland security, medical imaging, and oil & gas exploration. This transaction will enable 3DIcon to direct more of its future cash flow to CSpace® business and technical development while, at the same time, strengthen 3DIcon's balance sheet. The Company believes that these benefits will, in turn, provide greater confidence to potential strategic partners and customers. By eliminating most past due payment obligations, this transaction will enable the Company to spend more of its future cash flow on CSpace® research and development, which could decrease the time-to-market for this potentially breakthrough technology. This transaction will help support investments in equipment, software and materials.
Mark Willner, CEO of 3DIcon said, "This transaction is very important for us and comes at a good time for the Company. We are focusing most of our capital and human resources on CSpace® technical and business development in order to bring our technology to market as quickly as possible. As evidenced by the recent $300,000 State of Oklahoma grant and first place in that grant competition, independent reviewers from across the US agree with us about the potential of this technology. This transaction frees up a significant amount of future cash flow, which we intend to utilize to accelerate our development of our third generation laboratory prototype and begin development of our first product platform. This will include further investment in our collaborations with current materials partners, as well as investments in optics design software and measurement equipment that will be required moving forward."
"I would like to thank IBC for their confidence in 3DIcon and we look forward to working with them in the future," said Victor Keen, Co-Chairman of the Board of 3DIcon.
"We are impressed with what Mark and the team at 3DIcon have accomplished so far and we are delighted to be able to provide the Company with the capability to accelerate their efforts with this exciting technology," commented Samuel Oshana, Managing Member of IBC Funds LLC. "We believe 3DIcon is well positioned to enter into and take advantage of the tremendous growth that is expected in the glasses-free 3D display market. We are pleased to be one of 3DIcon's business partners moving forward."
