REKR Rekor Systems Inc

Rekor Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:REKR) ("Rekor") (“the Company”), a Maryland-based company providing real-time roadway intelligence through AI-driven decisions, announced today that it expected gross revenue to be above $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2020, which represents over 60% growth from the first quarter of 2020.

Rekor’s recent divestiture of its TeamGlobal subsidiary has completed the final step in the Company’s announced change in strategic direction to sell lower margin assets and focus on Rekor’s core technology segment. Rekor also recently reached an agreement with its principal debt holders to exchange $14.6 million in aggregate principal of its senior secured promissory notes for 4,208,659 shares of the Company’s common stock and to modify the terms of the approximately $4.9 million aggregate principal amount of the notes that will remain outstanding. Detailed information concerning these transactions is contained in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 6th, 2020.

“Following our major restructuring, we are able to confirm that gross revenues from our core technology businesses have continued to increase,” said Eyal Hen, CFO, Rekor. “With proceeds from our recent divestitures and a significant reduction in interest expense as a result of our debt for equity exchange, we are pleased to be able to see continued rapid growth in our higher margin technology businesses.”
