Investors From December $9.5 Million Public Offering Exercise All Outstanding Series B Warrants
Fort Lauderdale, FL, Feb. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (“Algorhythm”) (NASDAQ: RIME), an AI-driven technology and consumer electronics holding company, today announced that all outstanding Series B cashless warrants have been fully exercised. These warrants were issued in connection with a public offering that closed on December 4, 2024. As part of that transaction, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) related to the public offering of 4,200,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), and 51,682,352 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) in lieu of shares of Common Stock.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued Series A Warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) to purchase up to 55,882,352 shares of Common Stock and Series B Warrants (the “Series B Warrants”). The Series B Warrants were issued with a $0.34 strike price and included an alternative cashless exercise provision. On January 13, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to authorize, for purposes of complying with Nasdaq listing rule 5635(d), the issuance of both the Series A and Series B Warrants, the shares of Common Stock underlying those Warrants, and certain Warrant provisions, all in connection with the offering and sale of securities that was consummated on December 6, 2024. Four institutional investors previously held all of the Series B Warrants. As of February 4, 2025, the last of these Series B Warrants were exercised and eliminated from the Company’s capital structure.
Gary Atkinson, the Company’s CEO, commented, “We are pleased to have successfully cleared all of the cashless Series B warrants from our capital structure. This is a key step in completing the transformational capital raise we launched in December 2024. As a result, we have largely eliminated all significant liabilities from our balance sheet and now have sufficient capital to execute on our business plan.”
“We look forward to focusing on driving shareholder value through our AI logistics business, SemiCab, and our Singing Machine subsidiary,” concluded Mr. Atkinson.
