Permanent $25 Million Series H Preferred Offering
Still Requires Shareholder Approval
PHOENIX, AZ, Dec. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Taronis Technologies, Inc., (“Taronis” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: TRNX), a sustainability technologies company, today announced a $2 million interim financing. The transaction replicates most of the key terms of the previously announced Series H convertible prefer offering, with several key differences. First, the $2 million preferred cannot convert into common stock. Second, the financing matures January 31, 2020. Lastly, the transaction includes 2 million warrants with a cash strike price of $1.00 each.
“This transaction is intended as an interim financing for Taronis from several viewpoints,” commented Scott Mahoney, CEO of Taronis. “The Company has disclosed a larger $25 million offering that is subject to shareholder approval. We intend to clearly articulate the business plan of Taronis well prior to the scheduled annual shareholder meeting in January. Eligible shareholders will then have the right to vote on the outcome of the proposed permanent financing.”
“In the event shareholders vote to decline the proposed financing, the Company will have several options. First, we believe we will be in a financial position to repay a significant portion of the interim financing with royalty payments due from Taronis Fuels. The expected 5 unit gasification order would generate approximately $1.3 million in royalty income. Second, the Company could readily refinance the interim financing with a wide range of alternate financings as needed.”
“Lastly, if shareholders do elect to approve the proposed permanent financing, the interim financing would be exchanged into the larger, permanent financing, thus mitigating the potential short term dilution,” concluded Mr. Mahoney.
