NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / February 5, 2020 / Zedge, Inc. (NYSE American:ZDGE), today announced the closing of its registered direct offering of 1,734,459 shares of its Class B common stock for gross proceeds of $2.25 million. Zedge sold 1,657,813 shares at a purchase price of $1.28 per share, and an additional 76,646 shares at a purchase price of $1.67 per share. Zedge intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
' I'm pleased to announce the closing of a modest capital raise accomplished via a registered direct offering. The offering was subscribed to by existing shareholders and new institutional and accredited investors,' said Jonathan Reich, CFO and COO. 'Other than insiders who purchased at $1.67 per share, the closing price on February 3, 2020, all other investors purchased our equity at $1.28 per share which represented a 20% discount to the 10 Day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) through January 31, 2020. Our plan is to use this for working capital needs and to accelerate growth initiatives as the need arises. We look forward to sharing additional updates with all of our shareholders at our upcoming 2nd quarter earnings call.'
