Ironridge Global Partners, LLC Closes Its 50th Liability for Equity (LIFE™) Financing for $2.5 Million
San Francisco (PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- Ironridge Global Partners, LLC, an institutional investor making direct equity investments in micro-cap public companies, announced it has closed fifty LIFE™ (Liability For Equity) transactions in three years. This innovative financing structure pioneered and developed by Ironridge Global utilizes a Section 3(a)(10) Fairness Hearing procedure or Section 3(a)(9) exchange to finance emerging growth companies.
Ironridge Global Partners successfully effectuated its 50th LIFE deal last week, allowing a consumer products company to pay for over $2.5 million in inventory with unregistered common shares, eliminating the issuer's out of pocket cost of goods sold, and significantly increasing free cash flow. The next day, the fund closed another $2.5 million deal for another micro-cap company, allowing its vendors to be paid in full in cash by Ironridge Global.
"Ironridge Global's LIFE program allows micro-cap companies to pay for inventory and acquisitions, satisfy trade payables and other debts, in exchange for unregistered common stock utilizing the registration exemptions provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933," commented Managing Director John C. Kirkland. Ironridge Global Partners is the industry leader in this innovative financing structure, which substantially increases growth capital availability, and improves the balance sheet by decreasing debt and increasing equity, while at the same time reducing the transactional costs and time necessary to complete a financing.
Ironridge Global Partners is also a thought leader in legal compliance for micro-cap public financings in general, and Section 3(a)(10) fairness hearings in particular. LIFE transactions have very specific legal requirements: only bona fide outstanding securities, claims or property interests are eligible, and only if designated requirements are met and proper procedures followed. Proper regulatory compliance is crucial to ensure applicability of the exemption, and protect issuers and their boards from exposure. To ensure full compliance, Ironridge Global files all necessary disclosures with the SEC for its LIFE transactions.
The unique structure of the LIFE investment created by the Ironridge team is innovative, proprietary and regulatory-compliant. Ironridge Global Partners has an unparalleled track record for successfully completing Liability for Equity transactions.
