SHANGHAI - Eshallgo Inc (NasdaqCM: EHGO), a prominent office solutions provider in China with a market capitalization of $79.33 million, has announced a financing agreement with an accredited investor involving the issuance of convertible debentures totaling up to $5 million. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company maintains strong financial health with an impressive current ratio of 7.58x. The debentures carry a 5% annual interest rate, which could rise to 18% in the event of a default, with a maturity date set for November 28, 2025.
The company has completed the first tranche of the financing on November 29, 2024, with $1.5 million already secured. The following tranches, amounting to $2 million and $1.5 million respectively, are contingent on the filing and effectiveness of a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the resale of the Class A ordinary shares that arise from the conversion of the debentures. InvestingPro data reveals that Eshallgo holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet, suggesting a solid foundation for this financing arrangement.
Investors have the option to convert the debentures into Class A ordinary shares at a fixed price of $4.756 per share within the first 50 days post-issuance. After this period, the conversion price could be the lower of the fixed price or 93% of the lowest daily VWAP in the five days before conversion, with a floor price set at $0.78954. The company faces a potential monthly repayment obligation of up to $1 million plus a 10% premium and accrued interest if the share price falls below the floor price for a specified period or if there is a registration default.
Eshallgo has agreed to pay a 1% commitment fee upon the registration statement's effectiveness and has already paid a one-time due diligence and structuring fee of $25,000 at the initial closing. The debentures were issued in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.
The company's report on Form 6-K, filed with the SEC, contains full details of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Debentures, and the Registration Rights Agreement.
