Mobile Infrastructure Corporation (NYSE American: BEEP),
(“Mobile”, “Mobile Infrastructure” or the “Company”), owners of a
diversified portfolio of parking assets throughout the United
States, today announced several strategic actions to enhance
shareholder value.
The Company has secured a $40.4 million line of credit from
Harvest Small Cap Partners, L.P. and Harvest Small Cap Partners
Master, Ltd. that will be used to achieve three primary objectives,
namely to:
- Provide flexibility to fund future preferred stock redemptions
in cash rather than common stock;
- Pay all accrued dividends on the preferred stock to date;
and
- Commence a common stock repurchase plan.
Mobile Infrastructure’s Board of Directors also announced that
it has authorized a $10 million share buyback program. Repurchases
may be made from time to time through open-market purchases or
privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions and
other relevant factors.
Jeff Osher, Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors, stated, “The
strategic actions announced today demonstrate our Board and
management team’s focus on increasing shareholder value. This
credit facility provides Mobile with capital flexibility to
eliminate future dilution from preferred stock conversions and the
associated technical overhang on the stock. The Board’s
authorization of a $10 million buyback program reflects our belief
that Mobile’s stock is undervalued and represents a compelling
opportunity for the Company to increase shareholder value. We
believe that a material gap exists between Mobile’s NAV and the
current market price of its shares, and we are committed to
exploring strategic actions to narrow that gap.”
“We are pleased to address what we believe has been a
significant issue impacting the Company’s valuation, namely the
preferred equity conversion to common stock over the past twelve
months,” noted Stephanie Hogue, Mobile’s President. “Year-to-date,
these conversions have been highly dilutive. This additional
funding provides Mobile with the necessary resources to settle
future preferred share redemptions in cash.”
Borrowings under the Line of Credit will accrue interest at a
rate of 15.0% per annum, with interest payable in arrears at
maturity or upon repayment of any principal amount borrowed under
the Line of Credit. Jeff Osher, Co-Chairman of the Company’s Board
of Directors, is the managing member of No Street Capital LLC,
which serves as the investment manager of Harvest Small Cap
Partners, L.P. and Harvest Small Cap Partners Master, Ltd.
