EnWave Secures $5 Million Revolving Credit Facility with Desjardins for Growth and Working Capital Purposes
09 October 2024 - 12:00AM
EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U)
(“EnWave”, or the "Company") announced today that it has
signed a revolving credit facility agreement (the “Credit
Facility”) with Desjardins Tech & Innovation Banking of the
Desjardins Group (“Desjardins”), the largest financial cooperative
in North America. The amount available to the Company under the
facility is calculated as the lesser of $5 million and a function
of royalties, receivables and inventory.
Additionally, the Company signed a $500,000 loan
agreement with Desjardins (the “Term Loan”) with an amortization
period of 48 months. The Term Loan is to be repaid monthly on equal
and consecutive payments of principal plus interest. The Credit
Facility and Term Loan are secured by the Company’s assets and
subject to the Company maintaining an ongoing minimum liquidity
position.
The Credit Facility and Term Loan provides the
Company with non-dilutive financing, as needed, to execute an
enhanced and intensified sales strategy. EnWave plans to attract
additional top-level sales talent and increase the Company’s
international presence in key growth markets. EnWave is currently
working with a global recruitment firm to attract and hire its
first sales manager in Europe. A second sales manager will be
recruited for the South Asian region. Other markets will be
considered later in the fiscal year.
In Q4 2024, EnWave announced the hiring of Ms.
Danna Dunnage as its new Vice President, Global Sales and Business
Development.
In the coming months, the Company also plans to
exhibit at several major international food manufacturing and
technology trade shows to generate sales leads and drive revenue
growth. Following its recent participation at the IFT First
Conference in Chicago, Anuga FoodTec in India and The Food Tech
Summit & Expo in Mexico, EnWave will attend GulFood in Dubai
later this calendar year.
