“The successful completion of this financing marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to enhance our capital structure,” said Shahar Hania, CEO of Rail Vision. “The facility strengthens our financial position and improves our ability to accelerate the development and commercialization of cutting-edge solutions in railway safety. This new credit facility is not merely a transaction; it’s a testament to the confidence that our investors have in our business strategy and our team’s ability to execute it.

As part of the agreement, the Company granted a warrant to the Lender to purchase ordinary shares of the Company representing an aggregate exercise amount of $7.5 million with an initial exercise price of $3.10, subject to certain adjustments, representing a 150% premium of the closing share price of Rail Vision on January 5, 2024.
