DIGITAL ALLY CLOSES ON $1.5 MILLION CREDIT FACILITY
UNSECURED FACILITY ALLOWS COMPANY TO REPAY PREVIOUS BANK AND PROVIDES FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY GOING FORWARD
OVERLAND PARK, Kansas – June 3, 2011 - Digital Ally, Inc. (NASDAQ:DGLY - News), which develops, manufactures and markets advanced video surveillance products for law enforcement, homeland security and commercial applications, today announced that it has closed on the previously announced $1.5 million unsecured credit facility with a private third-party lender.
Definitive loan documents were signed on May 31, 2011, and the loan has funded. The outstanding balance under the Company’s line of credit with its previous bank has been repaid. The Company is in the process of placing outstanding international letters of credit totaling $211,000 with a new bank. Once the letters of credit have been placed, the credit facility with the Company’s previous bank will be fully retired.
Borrowings under the new credit facility will bear interest at an 8% annual rate, the Company will pay only interest on a monthly basis, and the loan will be due and payable on the first anniversary of the date of the closing. The Company has granted the lender a warrant to purchase up to 300,000 of DGLY common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share for a period that expires 30 months after the date of issuance. Digital Ally may prepay the loan at any time, plus accrued interest, without penalty.
"We are very pleased to announce the funding of the new credit facility in accordance with the previously announced timeline," commented Stanton E. Ross, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Ally, Inc. "The new loan allowed us to retire all outstanding borrowings under our previous bank line of credit. Further, the loan is unsecured and can be subordinated to future borrowings, which will allow us to develop relationships with other banks and financial institutions.”
“We consider the financial flexibility provided under the new credit facility very important, as it will allow us to access additional working capital for the growth of our business,” concluded Ross.
