La Rosa Holdings Announces Debt Restructuring; Conversion Rights Halted and Principal & Interest Payments Deferred Until February 2025
26 September 2024 - 10:45PM
La Rosa Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: LRHC) (“La Rosa” or the
“Company”), a holding company for six agent-centric,
technology-integrated, cloud-based, multi-service real estate
segments, today announced that it has entered into an amendment
with its noteholder to restructure debt under three outstanding
notes issued to the holder in February, April, and July 2024. As
part of the amendment, the Company agreed to repay to the holder
$200,000 of the debt under the notes, and all principal and
interest payments under the notes have been deferred until February
1, 2025. Starting February 1, 2025, the Company will pay monthly
payments to the holder, which shall be first applied to the July
note until it is repaid in the entirety, and then to the April note
until it is repaid in the entirety, following which such payments
shall be applied to the February note. Additionally, maturity dates
under all three notes were extended to August 1, 2025, and the
holder agreed not to effectuate any conversions of the notes unless
the Company fails to comply with the amendment or there is an event
of default under the notes. The Company believes that this
strategic restructuring strengthens the Company’s financial
position by reducing total debt under the notes by approximately
9.5%, providing greater financial flexibility to pursue growth
initiatives and long-term objectives.
Joe La Rosa, CEO of La Rosa Holdings, commented,
“We believe that this debt restructuring is an important step in
strengthening our financial foundation as we accelerate our growth
momentum. By consolidating payments under the outstanding notes,
deferring principal and interest payments until February 2025 and
the holder agreeing to halt conversions of the notes, we are
significantly improving our financial position. This not only
reduces our debt under the notes by approximately 9.5%, but also
provides us with the flexibility to reinvest in the business, focus
on expansion, and execute our strategic acquisition plans.”
“We have additional acquisitions that we hope to
close by the end of the year, which we plan to primarily fund with
stock. We believe this strategy will allow us to expand our market
footprint while minimizing additional debt. Additionally, as
previously announced over 400 new agents onboarded since June 1,
2024. We believe that this fact demonstrates our ability to scale
effectively, driven by our agent-centric, technology-integrated
model. Within the next six months, we expect the Company to be in a
significantly stronger position, with improvements in both our top
and bottom lines through targeted acquisitions and organic growth.
We aim at achieving an annualized revenue run rate of $100 million
by the end of 2024 and reaching profitability in 2025, assuming
that all of our planned acquisitions are consummated before the end
of 2024. Our team is fully committed to delivering long-term value
for our shareholders, and this restructuring positions us to
capitalize on new opportunities as we continue to scale,” concluded
Mr. La Rosa.
