Today : Friday 21 December 2012


DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: DPSI), a leading provider and integrator of Enterprise Mobility, Wireless Applications and RFID solutions, announced that it had raised $6.336 million in gross proceeds from institutional and accredited investors through a private placement of 633,600 shares of 8 percent Series D convertible preferred stock, with a stated value of $10.00 per share. Each share of preferred stock may be converted into common stock at any time at the option of the holder. The current conversion price is $1.00 per common share, which means that each share of preferred stock may be converted into 10 shares of common stock. The conversion price is subject to adjustment in the event that additional shares of capital stock are issued at a price per share of less than $1.00 (subject to certain carve-outs and other adjustments).
DecisionPoint used $4.5 million of the proceeds to redeem all of its 20% Series C Convertible Preferred shares with the balance to be used for general corporate purposes.

The transaction will result in dividend cash savings of greater than $300,000 annually.

The offering was oversubscribed and is closed. The Company believes that up to an additional $1 million of gross proceeds will be received from the current book of investors in the coming days, bringing the total offering amount to $7.3 million.

Taglich Brothers, Inc. served as the exclusive placement agent. The firm's principals, Michael Taglich and Robert Taglich each personally invested in the transaction as did members of DecisionPoint's management team, including Nicholas Toms and other directors and officers. For more details, please see the current report on Form 8-K to be filed by DecisionPoint Systems on or about December 27, 2012. The law firm of Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP represented DecisionPoint in the transaction.

"This financing will reduce our dividend expense significantly while bolstering our balance sheet and broadening our shareholder base to meet minimum standards for uplisting our common stock on to a nationally recognized exchange, one of our strategic goals," said Nicholas Toms, Chief Executive Officer of DecisionPoint.

Michael Taglich, Co-Founder, President and Chairman of Taglich Brothers, commented, "We are extremely excited about our investment in DecisionPoint and look forward to the Company's continued success in the coming years."

About Taglich Brothers

Founded in 1991, Taglich Brothers, Inc. is a full service brokerage firm specializing in the microcap segment of the market for publicly traded securities. The firm has selected this unique niche for two reasons. First and foremost, the small cap market has historically outperformed the large cap market over the past 75 years. Second, this area of the market is virtually ignored by the larger institutions and other Wall Street firms because they cannot invest enough capital in each situation to justify the expense of investigating these companies.
