CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mobile Infrastructure Corporation (NYSE American: BEEP), ("Mobile", "Mobile Infrastructure" or the "Company"), owners of a diversified portfolio of parking assets throughout the United States, today announced several strategic actions to enhance shareholder value.
The Company has secured a $40.4 million line of credit from Harvest Small Cap Partners, L.P. and Harvest Small Cap Partners Master, Ltd. that will be used to achieve three primary objectives, namely to:
Mobile Infrastructure's Board of Directors also announced that it has authorized a $10 million share buyback program. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open-market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions and other relevant factors.
Jeff Osher, Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors, stated, "The strategic actions announced today demonstrate our Board and management team's focus on increasing shareholder value. This credit facility provides Mobile with capital flexibility to eliminate future dilution from preferred stock conversions and the associated technical overhang on the stock. The Board's authorization of a $10 million buyback program reflects our belief that Mobile's stock is undervalued and represents a compelling opportunity for the Company to increase shareholder value. We believe that a material gap exists between Mobile's NAV and the current market price of its shares, and we are committed to exploring strategic actions to narrow that gap."
"We are pleased to address what we believe has been a significant issue impacting the Company's valuation, namely the preferred equity conversion to common stock over the past twelve months," noted Stephanie Hogue, Mobile's President. "Year-to-date, these conversions have been highly dilutive. This additional funding provides Mobile with the necessary resources to settle future preferred share redemptions in cash."
Borrowings under the Line of Credit will accrue interest at a rate of 15.0% per annum, with interest payable in arrears at maturity or upon repayment of any principal amount borrowed under the Line of Credit. Jeff Osher, Co-Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors, is the managing member of No Street Capital LLC, which serves as the investment manager of Harvest Small Cap Partners, L.P. and Harvest Small Cap Partners Master, Ltd.
