“We are thrilled to have The Lind Partners as a significant Boxlight investor. The proceeds from the investment will provide us the needed capital to execute our aggressive growth strategy and bridge our operations to positive cash flow,” said Mark Elliott, Chief Executive Officer of Boxlight. “This investment will improve our net current asset position, allow us to increase our inventory levels in the U.S. and Europe, and provide the capital needed to complete the market launch of several new products including our MyBot coding and robotics solution.”
“We are impressed with the depth of the Boxlight leadership team and their innovative, comprehensive product suite for the education market,” said Phillip Valliere, Managing Director at The Lind Partners. “Boxlight has demonstrated a track record of significant revenue growth and product innovation. The Company’s ability to win large, competitive contracts, including Clayton County, Georgia and Beaufort County, South Carolina, is further evidence that Boxlight has the potential to become a leader in education technology for the K-12 market.”
The Investment is in the form of a $4,400,000 convertible note with a 24-month maturity and a fixed conversion price of $4.00 per share of Company Class A voting common stock. A total of $4,000,000 will be funded under the note. The Company is required to make monthly interest payments at the rate of 8 percent per annum on the unpaid principal amount of the note, and principal payments in 18 equal monthly installments of $244,444.44 each, commencing six months after closing.
