All outstanding preferred stock
redeemed or converted into common stock
OMAHA, Neb., Sep 10, 2013 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Bond Laboratories, Inc.
(OTCBB:BNLB) ("Bond Labs"),
an international provider of innovative and proprietary nutritional supplements
for health conscious consumers, today announced a recapitalization designed to
simplify its capital structure and significantly reduce its cost of capital.
The transactions described below, will eliminate approximately $3.3 million of
liquidation preference from existing preferred stock and will lower the
Company's total borrowing costs by almost $200,000
per year. Assuming a thirty-five percent corporate tax rate, net borrowing costs
will decline more than threefold from approximately 8.0% to 2.3%.
Critical elements of the transaction include the following:
-- Convert half of the issued and outstanding shares of the
Company's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and
accrued dividends at $0.25 per share;
-- Redeem half of the issued and outstanding shares of the
Company's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at par
plus accrued dividends;
-- Redeem issued and outstanding shares of the
Company's 10% Cumulative Perpetual Series B Preferred
Stock at par plus accrued dividends;
-- In connection with the Series C Conversion at $0.25 per share, the Company
has agreed to exchange/cancel 2,500,000 warrants for 625,000 common shares,
thereby reducing the Company's diluted share count by
1,875,000 shares;
-- Complete a reverse stock split at a ratio of 10 for 1, as approved by
shareholders at the recent annual meeting; and
-- Change the corporate name to FitLife Brands, Inc.
Upon the closing of the transactions outlined above, the Company will have
approximately 8.1 million shares of common stock outstanding and 8.6 million
shares of common stock outstanding on a fully-diluted basis and no preferred
shares.
In connection with the recapitalization, the Company secured a $2.6 million term
loan from its existing bank. The new term loan bears interest at a rate of 3.6%
per annum, has no prepayment penalty and amortizes evenly over 5 years. The
Company's existing credit facility shall remain in
place. The recapitalization and name change are expected to close on or before
September 30, subject to final documentation and regulatory approvals.
John Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of Bond Laboratories, Inc., stated,
"We believe the recapitalization will be immediately
accretive to our common shareholders through the simplification of our capital
structure and significantly reduced capital costs. Our name change to FitLife
Brands comes at an exciting time for the company, as the anticipated growth in
our business combined with the recapitalization helps position the company to
deliver record results in 2013."
