Peoria, AZ, July 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Taronis Fuels, Inc. (“Taronis” or the “Company”) (OTCQB:TRNF), a global producer of renewable and socially responsible fuel products, today announced a private placement of common stock and the prepayment of all of the Company’s outstanding debentures. The Company sold 173,913 shares of common stock to an unaffiliated accredited investor at $5.75 per share, for total proceeds of approximately $1.0 million. The Company used $941,105 of the proceeds to retire all of the outstanding secured convertible debentures issued in August 2020, which debentures carried an 18% interest rate and were potentially convertible into shares of common stock at a significant discount to recent trading prices.
Kevin Foti, President and CEO of Taronis stated, “This transaction clears out an unfavorable financing executed by the prior management team and advances the current management team’s goal of deleveraging the Company and reducing its cost of capital. While the amount involved is not large, transactions like this will help position Taronis for future profitability.”
