HUBC Hub Cyber Security Ltd

HUB Cyber Security Ltd. (NASDAQ: HUBC) (“HUB” or the “Company”), a global leader in confidential computing and advanced data fabric technology, has successfully executed important settlements with both Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and Dominion Capital, eliminating $9.1 million in legacy liabilities. The Company has reduced a combined $16.6 million in claims to a final settlement amount of just $7.5 million, structured under highly favorable installment terms, significantly strengthening HUB’s balance sheet and financial flexibility.

To support these settlements, HUB has secured $13.5 million from Claymore Capital Pty Ltd. In exchange for long-term convertible notes, designed to fully fund the settlement obligations without requiring any cash outlay from HUB, as all payments under the settlements will be covered by Claymore. This highly favorable financing structure preserves liquidity, providing the Company with enhanced financial flexibility to focus on expansion and market growth. The five-year, zero-interest notes effectively refinance short-term liabilities from HUB’s balance sheet, reinforcing the Company’s commitment to long-term strategic financial management.

Noah Hershcoviz, CEO of HUB Cyber Security, commented:

“We are concluding a pivotal transitional period, successfully resolving significant legacy liabilities and eliminating obstacles that once limited our growth potential. Settling these obligations was a top priority for our management team upon joining HUB, and we are proud to have achieved this milestone. With these settlements behind us, HUB is now fully focused on executing our growth strategy. Following our transformative BlackSwan acquisition and a complete executive-level restructuring, we are entering our next phase with a clear strategic direction and a strong pipeline of opportunities. These transactions strengthen our financial foundation, position us to capitalize on growing market demand, and enhance our ability to create long-term value for our shareholders.”
