FlexShopper Updates Status of Rights Offering
BOCA RATON, Fla., Jan. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FlexShopper, Inc. (NASDAQ:FPAY), a prominent national online lease-to-own retailer and payment solutions provider, today announced an update to its previously disclosed rights offering. FlexShopper shareholders who participated in the unit subscription that closed on January 10, 2025, are now eligible to participate in the Series A, B, and C rights. Details of which can be found in the body of this press release.
As a result of the initial unit subscription, FlexShopper raised approximately $12 million of proceeds, consisting of $9.4 million in gross proceeds from the subscription and the conversion of $2.5 million of the Company's subordinated debt with NRNS Capital Holdings LLC. The $9.4 million in gross proceeds was used to pay down borrowings under FlexShopper's credit agreement with Waterfall Asset Management, LLC. As a result of these actions, FlexShopper estimates that the initial unit subscription would have been approximately 15% accretive to pro-forma earnings per share for the 2024 third quarter.
"The outcome of the initial unit subscription demonstrates the accretive nature of our efforts to equitize our balance sheet," said Russ Heiser, CEO of FlexShopper. "We are approaching the Series A, B, and C rights offerings from a position of strength and I am excited to provide investors with an update on our financial performance."
