Mobivity Raises $5 Million in New Funding
PHOENIX, July 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobivity Holdings Corp. (OTCQB:MFON), maker of the award-winning re•currency platform that increases customer visits and spend in restaurant, retail, and personal care brands, today announced that it has raised $5 million via a private financing.
The financing was led by Talkot Capital, with participation from certain existing shareholders, and consisted of the Company’s sale of 5,047,583 common shares, at an offering price of $1.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $5 million, consisting of $4,000,000 in cash and the cancellation of $1,047,583 of indebtedness under certain promissory notes issued by the Company in February 2018. The financing proceeds will be used for future working capital needs. Additional details regarding the financing can be found in the Form 8-K to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Dennis Becker, Chairman and CEO, commented, “As we continue to forge ahead and grow relationships with large global brands, our business development opportunities continue to expand. We’re seeing our customers diverting strategic initiatives away from billion dollar-market cap incumbent technology vendors and towards Mobivity’s products and services. Given the potential upside of even greater strategic involvement with our existing and prospective clients’ long term digital strategies, we felt it was imperative that we enhance the strength of our balance sheet. We believe that completing this restricted common sale, at roughly our current market pricing, is a testament to the enthusiasm for our upside and will be catalytic in accelerating our growth.”
