Tonner Drones Takes Major Steps Toward Financial Recovery
Tonner Drones Takes Major Steps in Financial Strategy
Tonner Drones is thrilled to announce a significant milestone in its ongoing efforts to enhance shareholder value. The company has finalized an agreement with the Fiducie A trust, marking a transformative moment by preventing further share dilution.
Key Terms of the Agreement
This landmark deal involves D.M. van den Ouden, a board director, who has agreed to buy out a contract worth €1.49 million with the Trust. Here are the critical aspects of this agreement:
- The ability to make conversions from this contract has been eliminated.
- The interest rate on the contract has been revised downward from 12% to just 4% per annum.
- The maturity date for the obligation has been extended to June 30, 2026.
- Most importantly, this agreement frees the company from any further dilutive financial instruments, a first in many years.
Significance of the Agreement
Mr. van den Ouden’s reinvestment into Tonner Drones is indicative of his belief in the company’s future. This transaction is especially notable given the company’s historical reliance on dilutive variable pricing mechanisms while operating as DeltaDrone.
The elimination of the last remaining variable pricing contract represents a substantial shift in the financial strategy of Tonner Drones. Previously, although an agreement was reached with the Trust earlier in 2024, share issuances and cash payments were still necessary. This new agreement negates those requirements, canceling a planned issuance of ten million shares and preventing the company from making €700,000 in cash payments that were scheduled for mid to late 2024.
Looking Forward
“I have always been an investor and a shareholder in many French companies,” said Mr. van den Ouden. “The increasing reliance on variable pricing financing in recent years has posed challenges for shareholders. I’m delighted to have alleviated the Company from this burden. With the introduction of new management, we are determined to foster a better relationship with our shareholders. The free distribution of warrants in August was an initial step, and now ending our relationship with the Trust signals a sturdy shift towards a healthier financial future.”
Tonner Drones is confident that with continued shareholder support and renewed organizational strategies, it can grow into a profitable enterprise. Armed with an advantageous listed status, valuable assets, and promising future product development, the company aspires to become a sought-after partner across various corporate sectors.
