NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--micromobility.com Inc. (NASDAQ: MCOM) announces a landmark achievement in its financial strategy, significantly reducing its debt and setting a course for profitability. The Company has successfully implemented a Settlement and Release Agreement, leading to a major reduction in its debt burden.
On November 27, 2023, micromobility.com Inc. entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement with Securis Investment Partners LLP, acting as an administrative agent for the lenders. This agreement facilitated the settlement of all outstanding obligations under a previous Loan and Security Agreement for a total of $3,595,000 (the “Settlement Amount”). In order to fund that Settlement, on December 8, 2023, an Assignment and Release Agreement was executed with YA II PN Ltd., resulting in the forgiveness of $9,250,000 of the aggregate principal amount outstanding, along with all accrued and unpaid interest. The result of these transactions effectively reduces the company’s outstanding loan principal from $15,000,000 to $5,750,000.
