Marketwired
Zoom Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZOOMD) today announced it has
executed definitive agreements with institutional and accredited
investors for a $10 million fundraise in a private placement of
common stock and warrants.
The transaction involves the sale of 2.5 million newly-issued
shares of the company's common stock and warrants to purchase an
additional 1.25 million shares of the company's common stock at
150% of the purchase price. The amount of shares issued upon
closing will be limited to 20% of the company's issued and
outstanding shares preceding the closing in accordance with Nasdaq
regulations. Accordingly, due to such limitations the Company
expects that approximately half of the total proceeds of the
private placement will remain in escrow pending shareholder
approval of the transaction in accordance with Nasdaq regulations.
In addition, the investors in the private placement will receive
additional warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the
company which are exercisable only in the event that the company
fails to meet certain net income targets.
The transaction will close in two traunches. The second traunch
requires shareholder approval and a special shareholder meeting is
being scheduled in the next 30-45 days. Proceeds from this
financing will be used for capacity expansion purposes.
Due to limitations of the public float and SEC Rule 415, a
majority of the shares sold in the transaction will be restricted
from trading until six months after closing of the transaction when
Rule 144 becomes applicable.
Mr. Anthony Chan, Chief Financial Officer of Zoom Technologies
stated, "We are extremely pleased, as a newly traded public
company, to attract quality institutional investors and execute
this transaction. The funds will allow us to add more production
lines, expand our capacity and strengthen our position as one of
the top ten manufactures of handsets in China's robust mobile phone
industry. We are now poised to grow with the rapidly expanding
China 3G market, pursue additional projects, and produce mobile
products for top tier Chinese mobile phone companies."
Global Hunter Securities acted as sole placement agent in the
transaction and was represented by Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference
LLP. Ellenoff Grossman & Schole served as legal advisor to Zoom
in the transaction.
This press release does not and shall not constitute an offer to
sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy any of the securities.
For additional information, please refer to Zoom's current report
on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
in conjunction to this transaction.
