Inventergy Receives Extension From NASDAQ


CAMPBELL, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 25, 2016) - Inventergy Global, Inc., a Silicon Valley intellectual property company (NASDAQ: INVT) ("Inventergy" or the "Company"), today announced that it received a letter, dated January 19, 2016, from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") notifying the Company it had been granted an extension until May 15, 2016 to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the "Rule").

On December 31, 2015, Inventergy submitted a plan of compliance to NASDAQ outlining its plan for regaining compliance with the Rule in a timely manner. As part of its plan of compliance, Inventergy recently announced the amendment of one of its patent purchase agreements allowing the Company to significantly strengthen its balance sheet by reducing $17.3 million in liabilities, including the elimination of $1 million in accrued interest expense and the avoidance of $120,000 per month in future interest expense. In addition, Inventergy announced last week that it had entered into a definitive agreement with institutional investors for the private placement of shares of convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $2.5 million. The Company estimates that its stockholders' equity will increase by approximately $2.2 million as a result of the private placement. The Company believes that the positive results from the foregoing events, combined with its future patent monetization efforts, will significantly improve its stockholders' equity and enable it to regain compliance with the Rule by May 15, 2016.
