UNIFY COMPLETES DEBT AND EQUITY FINANCING
Company expects over $1 million in cash interest cost savings for Fiscal 2012
ROSEVILLE, Calif., July 6, 2011 – Unify (NASDAQ: UNFY), a provider of eDiscovery and information management solutions, today announced the closing of a $24 million facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, part of Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC), and a $4 million preferred stock offering with an existing shareholder.
The Wells Fargo Capital Finance facility is comprised of a 4-year senior secured term loan A of $12 million, term loan B of $4 million and a revolver of $8 million at a blended interest rate substantially less than the Company’s current debt facility with Hercules Technology Growth Capital. Proceeds of the Wells Fargo Capital Finance facility were used to fully repay Hercules.
As an integral component of the re-financing, the Company raised $4 million in new equity capital by selling 1,666,667 shares of preferred stock to a current shareholder. The preferred stock will automatically convert on a 1-for-1 basis into common stock at the earlier of the second anniversary of the financing or the date on which the Company’s common stock has an average closing price above $4.00 per share during the preceding 30 trading days. The preferred stock includes an annual dividend of 10% payable in cash or stock at the Company’s option.
“Replacing the Hercules Technology Growth Capital debt facility with more traditional and lower rate commercial bank financing has been a strategic goal for the Company since the closing of the Daegis merger,” said Todd Wille, CEO of Unify. “Thanks to the strong cash flow that continues to be generated by our tools and database business, we were able to accomplish this refinancing goal and significantly reduce interest costs with minimal dilution. We are delighted to be associated with Wells Fargo Capital Finance and look forward to our relationship as we execute on our strategic plan to grow the company.”
“We are pleased to have completed this important financing for Unify,” said Steven Macko, managing director, Wells Fargo Capital Finance. “We look forward to supporting the management team and their plans for the successful growth of the business.”
