Genius Brands International to Retire All Senior Secured Convertible Debt
Andy Heyward, Chairman & CEO of Genius Brands, commented, “This is a win-win for all parties. The Company today is debt free and holding $55 million in cash. The Company is uniquely positioned to take steps to build Kartoon Channel! into the pre-eminent childrens’ broadcaster anywhere, and produce, acquire, and license, the most compelling, forward-thinking programming for children today. We are delighted that our existing senior secured debt holders had the confidence in the Company to pre-pay the $4,000,000 Note obligation and to then convert their entire debt into equity right away.
