WORCESTER, MA / ACCESSWIRE / December 27, 2023 / SideChannel, Inc. (OTCQB:SDCH) ("SideChannel"), a leading provider of cybersecurity services and technology to emerging and middle market companies, announced the successful completion of a tender offer with holders of certain 2021 warrants.
On November 7, 2023, SideChannel announced a tender offer to 101 investors who collectively possess 55.5 million warrants issued in 2021 with an exercise price of $0.36 and expiration dates between March 31, 2026 and April 16, 2026. The tender offer closed at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 26, 2023, with 76 investors receiving, on a combined basis, approximately 7.3 million shares of common stock and 17.4 million new warrants in exchange for tendering 43.5 million 2021 warrants (78.4% of the total 2021 warrants).
"Our growth and industry leadership are positioning SideChannel for strategic opportunities. The 2021 warrants contain toxic terms that limit our options and impede our ability to take advantage of these opportunities. We have alternatives for working around the roadblocks presented by these warrants that don't involve the warrant holders, but we chose to work with these investors on a solution and we are appreciative of their support," said Brian Haugli, SideChannel's CEO. He added, "We are mindful of the patience investors have had with our company as we work through the merger and continue advancing Enclave. Our tender offer allows these investors to get immediate value from their 2021 warrants and increase their potential to benefit from our future successes."
The common stock issued through this tender offer represents approximately 3.3% of the total outstanding shares after the tender offer. The new warrants received by investors have an $0.18 exercise price, expire on December 31, 2028, have no restrictions on a cashless exercise, and feature an automatic conversion into common stock if the bid price exceeds $0.36 for 30 consecutive days.
