BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FlexShopper (Nasdaq: FPAY) (“FlexShopper” or the “Corporation”) announced today that it has extended the expiration date of its previously announced rights offering to ensure adequate time for holders of rights to make their first come first serve investment decision and for additional orders to be processed on a first come first serve basis. All other terms and conditions, including pricing, of the rights offering remain unchanged. A myriad of events, including the disruption in the equity markets resulting from macroeconomic factors, the overhang from the budget deadlines and delivery of documents to our Canadian shareholders as a result of the recently ended Canada postal strike, are contributing factors to the extension.
FlexShopper has extended the expiration of the rights offering to 5:00 pm ET on Friday, January 10, 2025 (the “Extended Expiration Time”). Only shareholders that exercise their initial units will receive Series A, B, and C rights to purchase FlexShopper’s common stock. The respective expiration dates will be extended accordingly for the Series A, B and C common stock purchase rights, which are 30, 60 and 90 days following the closing date of the subscription offering.
FlexShopper encourages its rights holders to contact their broker or financial advisor’s Corporate Actions Department immediately to participate in the rights offering. Rights offering information can be found at https://www.sec.gov and https://investors.flexshopper.com.
The rights offering allows FlexShopper’s stockholders of record as of December 2, 2024 to purchase up to 35,000,000 units. The rights offering was made through a dividend in the form of two non-transferable basic subscription rights for each share of common stock or common stock equivalent owned on the record date. Each right permits the holder to purchase one unit at a fixed subscription price of $1.70 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock, as well as short-term Series A, B and C rights to purchase additional shares of common stock at varying discounted market-based prices.
The rights offering includes an over-subscription privilege, which entitles each rights holder that exercises all its basic subscription privileges in full the right to purchase additional units that remain unsubscribed at the Extended Expiration Time. The over-subscription privileges are subject to availability and a pro-rata allocation of shares among participants. All basic subscription rights and over-subscription privileges may be exercised during the subscription period through the Extended Expiration Time. If a rights holder does not exercise their subscription rights before the Extended Expiration Time, such rights will be deemed expired and void and will have no value.
If shares of common stock are held in the rights holder’s name, and subscription rights will not be exercised through a broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee (including any mobile investment platform), then the subscription certificate, all other required subscription documents and subscription payments should be sent by mail to Continental Stock Transfer, the Subscription Agent, at the address below, to be received before the Extended Expiration Time. Participants should refer to the instructions included with the subscription documents for complete information regarding completing and submitting the subscription documents.
