Reborn Coffee Inc. (Nasdaq: REBN), a leader in the specialty coffee
industry, today announced the conversion of $1.0 million of
outstanding debt held by the Company’s Vice Chairman of the Board
of Directors, Dennis Egidi, into common equity.
On June 26, 2023, the Company secured a $1.0
million credit facility with DRE, Inc. (“DRE”), owned and
controlled by Dennis Egidi, to fund working capital requirements
and operating expenses. Per the terms of the exchange agreement,
DRE agreed to exchange, in consideration of surrender and
termination of the Loan Note, with an outstanding balance
(including interest accrued thereon) of $1,000,000, for 1,666,667
shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company
at a price per share equal to $0.60 per share. Pursuant to the
Exchange Agreement, the Company also granted DRE piggyback
registration rights with regard to the Exchange Shares.
“This exchange of debt for equity by our
longstanding Director reflects a significant vote of confidence for
what our team has been building at Reborn, and reduces our debt by
$1.0 million,” said Jay Kim, Chief Executive Officer of Reborn.
“With Dennis’s deep commitment and belief in our company’s
potential and strategic direction, he believes this conversion will
not only strengthen the company’s financial structure but also
signal to investors and stakeholders the promising future that lies
ahead for Reborn. The conversion rate of $0.60 per share also
reflects a positive outlook for Reborn’s stock and operations. This
rate is indicative of the company's current valuation and its
potential for growth in the coffee market.”
