TRAK Trakopolis IoT Corp

Trakopolis IoT Corp. (TSXV:TRAK) ("Trakopolis" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a new USD $3.5 Million secured credit facility with California based Silicon Valley Bank, the bank of the world’s most innovative companies and their investors. The credit facility consists of a 36-month term loan of USD $1.5 Million (the "Term Loan") and an accounts receivable line of credit of up to USD $2 Million (the "Revolving Line").  The Term Loan bears interest at a rate of US prime plus 1.5% and the Revolving Line bears interest at a rate ranging from US prime plus 1.75% to prime plus 2.25% based on certain operating metrics.  Proceeds from the Term Loan will be used to prepay and retire the Company's outstanding indebtedness with B.E.S.T. Funds.  The Revolving Line will be used to fund the Company's growth strategy.

“Reducing our cost of borrowing to under 7% based on today’s rates, with no dilutive instruments attached, and adding a revolving line of credit provides the Company with a debt facility that is aligned with our focus on recurring revenue,” said Trakopolis’ CFO, Richard Clarke. “We welcome the financial backing of Silicon Valley Bank as we continue to grow our customer and subscriber base.”

“Trakopolis has created an innovative platform and achieved notable growth,” said Ryan Kirschling, Director for Silicon Valley Bank. “We are pleased to support Trakopolis in their global efforts to advance the industrial internet of things.”
