Ault Alliance (NYSEMKT:AULT) stock is on the rise Tuesday as investors react to the company signing a $50 million financing agreement with Ault & Company.
According to a press release from the holding company, it will sell up to $50 million in shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to Ault & Company. Each of the preferred shares has a value of $1,000 and can be converted to shares of AULT stock with shareholder approval.
In addition to this, Ault & Company will gain warrants for up to 370 million shares of AULT stock with the conversion of its preferred shares. These warrants are exercisable for five years at a price of $0.1353 per share.
Ault Alliance also notes it already has a plan for the funds gained from this securities offering. The company will use the money to pay down debts, expand its Bitcoin (BTC-USD) mining facilities and for general working capital purposes.
Milton Ault III, Executive Chairman of Ault Alliance and Chairman and CEO of Ault & Company, said the following about the funding deal:
“That A&C is willing to invest up to $50 million on those terms should be a clear indicator of our belief that the market has been undervaluing the Company, which I’ve been highlighting for years. This transaction is more than a number—it’s a declaration of my steadfast confidence in our data centers, the crane company, the lending firm, and the exceptional portfolio companies we’ve nurtured over the past six years.”
