FlexShopper, Inc. (Nasdaq: FPAY) (the “Corporation”) announced
today the tentative calendar for its previously proposed rights
offering (“Rights Offering”). The Corporation is planning to
commence the Rights Offering to raise capital to equitize its
balance sheet through funding the repurchase of over 90% of its
Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock, by repaying a portion of its
credit facility and other outstanding debt facilities, and for
other corporate purposes including potential acquisitions of other
companies.
The Rights Offering will be made through a dividend in the form
of two non-transferable basic subscription rights for each share of
common stock or common stock equivalent owned on the record date.
Each right permits the holder to purchase one unit at a fixed
subscription price of $1.70 per unit. Each unit consists of one
share of common stock as well as short-term Series A, B and C
rights to purchase additional shares of common stock at varying
discounted market-based prices.
The dividend of the subscription rights must be settled within
one business day of the transaction date. To be considered a
shareholder of record you must own the stock in your brokerage
account as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on Friday, November 29,
2024, which is one trading day before the record date of Monday,
December 2, 2024.
The proposed Rights Offering also includes an over-subscription
privilege, which will entitle each rights holder that exercises all
its basic subscription privileges in full, the right to purchase
additional units that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the
rights offering. Both the basic and over-subscription privileges
are subject to the availability and pro-rata allocation of shares
among participants. All basic subscription rights and
over-subscription privileges may be exercised during the
subscription period of Tuesday, December 3, 2024, through 5:00
p.m., Eastern Time, Friday, December 20, 2024, on a pro-rata
basis.
A shareholder that exercises their two non-transferable basic
subscription rights at the $1.70 subscription price per unit will
receive two additional shares of FlexShopper’s common stock, as
well as a total of six rights consisting of Series A, B, and C
rights. A shareholder that owned one share prior to the offering
that exercises both of their two basic subscription rights and the
Series A, B and C rights, would own a total of nine shares of
FlexShopper’s common stock after the completion of the Rights
Offering, subject to availability.
If and to the extent there are unsubscribed units upon the
expiration of the offering of the subscription rights, NRNS Capital
Holdings LLC (“NRNS”) has indicated that it may purchase up to
$10.6 million of units through the conversion into units of the
outstanding principal and accrued interest under the subordinated
promissory notes payable by the Corporation to NRNS. Howard S.
Dvorkin, FlexShopper’s Chairman, is the manager of NRNS.
Officers and directors of the Corporation have given indications
they intend to purchase at least $5.0 million of units (2,941,176
units) in this rights offering. All units sold to them will be at
the same price and on the same terms as the other investors in the
offering.
The Corporation recommends that current shareholders consider
notifying their broker or financial advisor about the upcoming
rights offering to ensure their ability to participate in the
rights offering.

behalf of the Corporation. The information contained in this press
release may include, but are not limited to, statements about
undertaking the rights offering, as well as, operating performance,
trends, events that we expect or anticipate will occur in the
future, statements about sales levels, restructuring, profitability
and anticipated expenses and cash outflows. All statements in this
document other than statements of historical fact are statements
that are, or could be, deemed “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of the Act and words such as “may,” “intend,”
“believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,”
“forecast” and other terms of similar meaning that indicate future
events and trends are also generally intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only
as of the date on which such statements are made, are not
guarantees of future performance or expectations and involve risks
and uncertainties. For the Corporation, these risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to: our ability to
obtain adequate financing to fund our business operations in the
future; the failure to successfully manage and grow our
FlexShopper.com e-commerce platform; our ability to maintain
compliance with financial covenants under our credit agreement; our
dependence on the success of our third-party retail partners and
our continued relationships with them; our compliance with various
federal, state and local laws and regulations, including those
related to consumer protection; the failure to protect the
integrity and security of customer and employee
information; and those discussed more fully in documents filed
with the SEC by the Corporation, particularly in Item 1A, Risk
Factors, in Part I of the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2023, and Part II of the
Corporation’s subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
The Corporation cannot guarantee any future results, levels of
activity, performance or achievements. In addition, there may be
events in the future that the Corporation may not be able to
predict accurately or control which may cause actual results to
differ materially from expectations expressed or implied by
forward-looking statements. Except as required by U.S. federal
securities law, we assume no obligation, and disclaim any
obligation, to update forward-looking statements whether as a
result of new information, events or otherwise.
