July 24 2024 - 7:00AM
BranchOut Food Inc. (NASDAQ: BOF), a leading food technology
company specializing in dehydrated fruit and vegetable-based
products, today announced the closing of a $525,000 investment in
company led by its CEO, Eric Healy, who invested $400,000, with
Eagle Vision Fund LP (an entity affiliated with the Company’s CFO)
investing $100,000, and the Company’s President investing $25,000,
in exchange for the issuance of 692,529 shares of common stock . In
addition, the Company closed a convertible note for $3,400,000 with
Kaufman Kapital. Complete details of these transactions can be
found in the Company’s Current Report on 8-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The capital will be used to complete the build
out of the Company’s large-scale production facility in Peru,
including for its 3rd and 4th Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV) machines
built by EnWave Corporation (TSX-V: ENW | FSE: E4U). The Company
expects the new factory to be online starting in Q4 and to
have approximately $40M in production capacity and estimated
margins of 40-50%.
BranchOut Food is currently filling orders
valued at over $8 million from some of the country’s
largest retailers but has turned down additional orders in the
trailing twelve months as it awaits the new factory opening.
Eric Healy, CEO of BranchOut Food, said: “We believe BranchOut is
at its inflection point. This capital will allow us to complete the
construction of our large-scale production factory in Peru, giving
us the capacity to manufacture our orders with significantly
improved margins and control. We have a robust pipeline of current
and prospective customers, and this will position us for profitable
growth.”
Daniel Kaufman, founder of Kaufman Kapital
added: “The combination of BranchOut’s innovative GentleDry
technology, Peru’s high-quality, low-cost produce, and a seasoned
leadership team presents a compelling opportunity. We are thrilled
to support and partner with them.” Concurrent with the new
financings, Deven Jain, an affiliate of Kaufman Kapital, joins
BranchOut’s board of directors.
