OVERLAND PARK, KS--(Marketwire - 11/30/10) - Flint Telecom Group, Inc. (
http://www.flinttelecomgroup.com) (OTC.BB:
FLTT -
News), an International Telecoms Technology and Services Organization, today announces completion of a $15 million investment agreement with New York-based Kodiak Capital Group LLC, whereby Kodiak has committed to purchase, at the discretion of the Company, from time to time over a period of two years, shares of the Company's common stock for cash consideration of up to $15 million at a fixed flat discount of 5% from the lowest closing best bid share price following the Company's draw notices.
This equity line of credit to be provided by Kodiak Capital Group will replace the previous Reserve Equity Finance Agreement with AGS Capital Group, announced in June.
The Equity Line of Credit is a cost effective and flexible financing that places Flint Telecom in control of how and when it raises equity and debt, minimizing any potential dilution or disruption to its capital structure. Flint Telecom can sell its common shares when the price is attractive to the Company to ensure that the Company has access to required funds in a timely manner to minimize dilution to shareholders. The Agreement does not prohibit the Company from raising additional debt or equity financings, other than financings similar to this agreement.
In order to draw funds under the Agreement, Flint must first file a registration statement on a Form S-1 with the SEC. Once the SEC deems the registration statement effective, the Company can commence to draw funds.
Full details of the Agreement are disclosed in the Company's SEC Form 8-K filed with the SEC today.
Ryan Hodson, Managing Director at Kodiak Capital Group added, "We are very excited to partner with Flint Telecom and for the potential in the future. We believe in the management and their vision for the business and we applaud their success this year in turning the business around in the most challenging economic climate for nearly a century, positioning the business in high growth markets and hot areas and generating a strong shareholder following that, combined, create a real springboard for success moving forward. We are very proud to be associated with Flint as we provide the necessary funding and support required to accelerate their growth and success."
Vincent Browne, Chairman and CEO of Flint Telecom Group commented, "This is a hugely significant transaction for us at this time and it clearly reflects the progress we have made over the last few months. This will allow us to raise the growth capital we need in a more structured environment with a significantly reduced cost compared to our current sources. Obviously we had to carefully consider changing our funding partner at this stage, but this offer from Kodiak could not be ignored as we believe it is clearly better for our shareholders, and with fewer restrictions than before, better suits the way our stock currently trades to enable us to maximize the amount we can raise with the least impact on our stock. We have known Kodiak for some time and they are not just providing funds, but have taken a very active interest in all aspects of our business and how they can help to grow it. We very much look forward to working in close partnership with them to create a truly great company that will generate the commensurate return for our loyal shareholders over time."
