iSun – a solar service provider across residential, commercial, industrial & municipal, and utility-scale projects – secured a debt financing of $25 million as Senior Secured Convertible Notes Facility with a single investor.
The proceeds will be used to repay indebtedness and satisfy certain of the company’s financial obligations, working capital, and general corporate purposes. Alliance Global Partners acted as the sole placement agent for the financing, and Merritt & Merritt served as the Company’s legal counsel.
It includes an initial payment of $12.5 million at an interest rate of 5% per annum, while the other half remains subject to financing conditions. The initial conversion price is $2.66 per share compared to the stock’s last close of $2.24.
“We continue to see significant interest and enthusiasm for the products and services that iSun provides to our growing customer base,” said Jeffrey Peck, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of iSun. “This debt facility validates our commitment to accelerating the transition to clean energy as we continue our fight against climate change while providing an opportunity to strengthen our balance sheet. As we grow our geographic footprint and establish new customer relationships, we believe our ability to drive value across all aspects of the solar life cycle will create meaningful, long-term value for our shareholders. “
