American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc. (“AVCtechnologies”) announced that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement for a sale of equity securities to an institutional investor. The initial gross proceeds from the current sale will total $25 million, and combined with the November equity raise, may provide up to approximately $76 million of gross cash proceeds to the company in aggregate, if and when all warrants issued pursuant to the transactions are fully exercised.
AVCtechnologies previously announced a strategic focus on acquisitions and organic growth in its cloud technologies business and to explore strategic opportunities for its IT solutions business, including the planned divestiture of Computex Technology Group (“Computex”). The Company expects that the latest placement and expected proceeds from its proposed disposition of Computex will fully fund the Company’s current growth plan through 2022 and completely eliminate its debt.
