Cinedigm Corp. (NASDAQ: CIDM) (the “Company”) today announced that it has executed another accretive financial exchange transaction as part of its overall strategy to further strengthen its balance sheet.

On February 17, 2017, Cinedigm entered into an exchange agreement in which the Company agreed to issue 675,000 shares of its Class A common stock and notes in the principal amount of $2,100,000 pursuant to the Company’s Second Lien Loan Agreement entered into in July 2016 in exchange for $6,000,000 of the Company’s 5.5% Convertible Notes, saving $172,500 per year in cash interest expense.

This exchange transaction follows the accretive exchange earlier this month of $4,000,000 of Convertible Notes for common stock and warrants, saving $115,000 per year in interest expense. Additionally, in December, 2016, the Company entered into an exchange agreement for another $3,429,000 of the Company’s Convertible Notes for common stock and warrants, saving $188,595 per year in cash interest expense.

In total, through these three accretive transactions, the Company has now retired $13,429,000 of its Convertible Notes or approximately 21% of the total Notes balance, saving $476,095 in annual cash interest expense.

“These accretive exchange transactions continue to strengthen our balance sheet and set up our operations for enhanced profitability,” said Chris McGurk, Cinedigm’s Chairman and CEO. “We continue to make progress in lining up additional debt exchange opportunities.”
