TUSTIN, Calif., March 26, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- M Line Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:MLHC) ("M Line" or the "Company"), a leading provider of products, assemblies and services to the precision high tech segment of both the aerospace and medical industries as well as a seller of high end pre-owned Japanese Computer Numerically Controlled ("CNC") Equipment, announced today it has signed two investment banking agreements with a leading New York-based investment banking firm to assist in acquisition financing and public offering.
The investment banking firm, founded in 1925, is one of the oldest in the United States, a member of the New York Stock Exchange and a full-service broker-dealer employing over 500 people. The firm manages two Morningstar-rated mutual funds, with five offices throughout the country, over 70 retail brokers, over 10 research analysts and a pair of institutional desks trading for 800 institutional clients throughout the world.
Under the first Agreement, the Company has retained the investment banking firm as its exclusive placement agent and financial advisor in connection with acquisition financing of up to $30,000,000 in debt. The Company must meet various terms and conditions, which it believes are reasonable and attainable in due course of business of this type.
The second Agreement is a $30,000,000 firm commitment underwritten public offering on a major exchange (AMEX or NASDAQ) represented by the investment banking firm. The planned public offering is subject to the Company's successful auditing and acquisition of its current target businesses.
In a joint statement, Bruce Barren, CEO and Tony Anish, COO, stated, "We are very pleased to establish this relationship with such a prestigious New York Stock Exchange member firm, which confirms and validates our Business Plan. We expect the assistance of this well established investment banker to accelerate our growth strategy through acquisitions and with their assistance, move to NASDAQ or AMEX. We have launched an aggressive acquisition program, including 6 defined prospective candidates, with our internal due diligence completed on some and beginning on several new acquisition targets. Our management believes we can satisfy the conditions in both investment banking agreements and continue our new journey as a Public Holding Company. The utilization of this financing will allow us to save considerable dilution without giving up control and concurrently build increased Shareholder Value."
