Freight Technologies, Inc. Obtains and Renews Additional Funding
27 April 2023 - 1:00PM
Freight Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: FRGT) (“Fr8Tech”), a technology
company whose custom-developed Fr8App, an industry-leading
freight-matching platform powered by AI and machine-learning and
offers a real-time portal for B2B cross-border shipping and
domestic shipping within the USMCA region, announces an increase in
its convertible note facility by $3.3 million to $9.9 million in
addition to renewing its collateralized lending facility for $5.0
million. Fr8Tech, agreed to amend its Loan and Security Agreement
with Capital Foundry on April 25, 2023 and extend it through to
2025. The amendment will maintain the revolving line of credit at
$5.0 million and includes additional types of collateral in line
with Fr8Tech’s anticipated growth.
“It has been great to see Fr8Tech evolve since we first started
working with them in 2019, especially its accelerated growth in the
past eighteen months,” stated John Fox, Capital Foundry’s Chief
Credit Officer. “We look forward to the results we believe the
company can achieve with this additional liquidity to continue to
support its ambitious growth plans.”
"Capital Foundry has been a wonderful financial ally,” stated
Paul Freudenthaler, Fr8Tech’s Chief Financial Officer. “They have
worked with us hand in hand and have been instrumental in helping
us expand our offerings, particularly to the larger shipper
clients. In addition to extending the Capital Foundry facility
through early 2025, we were also able to increase our convertible
loan facility to provide us with additional dry powder to continue
funding our organic growth initiatives. We have the additional
liquidity facilities in place and flexibility to finance collateral
in all three USMCA countries as we ramp up the activity on our
platform and our sales efforts in mid-2023 in what has been an
admittedly difficult market so far this year. Each of the
facilities will help provide us with the ability to continue to
execute on our business plan.”
