Benjamin Kovler, Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer, participated in the private placement to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $38.76 in compliance with applicable Nasdaq requirements.
“This funding is a strong move for Agrify and our shareholders as we were able to raise approximately $26 million in a non-brokered deal (gross equals net),” said Chairman and Interim CEO Ben Kovler. “We plan to allocate this capital into opportunities within our circle of competence to benefit stockholders. We are excited about the opportunity set and current consumer trends in cannabis and hemp. The team continues to work hard to close the previously announced Señorita transaction, and it remains on track for closing at or around year end.”
