23 December 2024 - 11:12PM
via IBN –
HUB Cyber Security Ltd. (NASDAQ: HUBC)
(“HUB” or the “Company”), a leader in cybersecurity and advanced
data fabric solutions, has successfully restructured $7 million of
its secured debt with United Mizrahi Tefahot Bank (“UMTB”) under a
settlement agreement signed on December 19, 2024 between HUB and
UMTB (the “Agreement”). The Agreement represents over 60% of HUB’s
secured debt, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Comsec Ltd., and
reflects the Company’s commitment to address key financial
obligations in its ongoing efforts to settle or extend most of its
outstanding debt to achieve financial stability and confidence in
its growth trajectory.
Under the Agreement, payments are deferred until
June 2025, aligning with HUB’s expected free cash flow generation.
This milestone enhances liquidity and enables the Company to focus
on scaling operations and delivering shareholder value.
Furthermore, HUB is in advanced negotiations to refinance the
remainder of its secured debt, with completion expected in the
first quarter of 2025.
Noah Hershcoviz, CEO of HUB Security stated:
“This milestone speaks significantly towards HUB’s stability and
its potential growth as we approach the new fiscal year.
Successfully restructuring $7 million, more than 60% of our secured
debt, demonstrates HUB’s ability to execute financial strategies
that align with our business goals. The deferment of principal
payments until mid-2025 provides the Company with the financial
agility to focus on operational expansion. We are progressing as
planned toward all our key goals, and we are confident in our
continued ability to generate value for our shareholders. We
anticipate that the remaining debt refinancing will conclude
shortly, ensuring that HUB is well-capitalized to continue
delivering cutting-edge secured data fabric solutions to our global
clients. We believe that these steps are the foundations of HUB’s
vision for sustainable growth and long-term profitability.”
