-Company Enters Note Purchase Agreement for
up to $6.56 Million-
The Marygold Companies, Inc. ("TMC" or the "Company") (NYSE
American: MGLD), a diversified global holding firm, today announced
it has secured $4.38 million in funding as part of a $6.56 million
total private placement with Streeterville Capital, LLC, an
institutional investment firm, through the sale of the Company’s
secured promissory note.
Net proceeds will be used exclusively to implement next-stage
initiatives for the Company’s Marygold & Co. project, including
initial marketing of its recently developed fintech app., a digital
platform alternative to traditional banking that enables users to
spend, invest and save.
“As part of our strategic plan to develop and test the viability
of the platform, we invested more than $15 million over the past
five years from cash and profits internally generated by our
operating subsidiaries,” said Nicholas Gerber, TMC’s chief
executive officer. “With the critical development and initial
testing phase now successfully behind us, we are pleased to have
attracted external funding for the rollout stage, which we believe
attests to the uniqueness of the app and the long-term potential of
its commercial success.
“The app was soft-launched in the U.S. in 2023 by our
Denver-based subsidiary, Marygold & Co., and plans are underway
for further U.S. market penetration. Through our Marygold & Co.
(UK) subsidiary, we recently acquired two UK-based investment
advisory firms with established client bases that we believe will
provide a solid marketing foundation when we introduce the app in
the U.K. later this year,” Gerber added.
The app, which features a digital wallet as well as a physical
debit card, is akin to having a fully secured, private banking
experience on a cell phone to manage finances anywhere, anytime,
with no banking fees or minimums. It allows users to organize
finances, while helping them save for personal financial goals. It
is currently available in the U.S. at no cost in both Apple and
Google app stores for iOS and Android devices. Additional features
include unlimited money pool investing, with customized portfolios
and user-selected time-based objectives; PayAnyone™ capability,
authorizing users to send payments to anyone in the U.S.,
regardless of whether they have a Marygold & Co. account;
contactless payment options; and more.
Maxim Group LLC served as exclusive agent for the private
placement. Funding for the second portion is anticipated for
January 2025, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, with
expected proceeds to TMC before expenses of approximately $2.0
million. A full description of the terms and conditions of the
transaction, as well as the exhibits filed therewith, can be found
in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed today with the
SEC and available at www.sec.gov.

registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may
not be resold in the U.S., except pursuant to an effective
registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, or an exemption from registration under the Securities
