Dynasil has used the proceeds from the Note Purchase Agreement to repay in full approximately $1.9 million in promissory notes issued in connection with a put right exercised by a former owner of RMD Instruments, LLC, which Dynasil acquired in 2008. The remaining $1.1 million of proceeds will be used for the Company's working capital. "Our financing agreement with MCRC is a significant liquidity event for Dynasil," said Peter Sulick, Dynasil's Chairman and Interim CEO and President. "The financing replaced the short term and long term liability associated with the promissory notes with long term fixed-rate debt. This new MCRC debt is interest-only for three years. It also strengthened our balance sheet with an additional $1.1 million of working capital. Completion of the Note Purchase Agreement and payment of the promissory notes has allowed the Company to reclassify approximately $7.6 million of the debt owed under its bank credit agreement as long-term debt, thereby eliminating balance sheet uncertainty associated with the retired promissory notes. In addition, this financing satisfies one of the requirements of our amended bank credit agreement by raising at least $2.0 million in additional debt or equity by September 30, 2012." "We are very pleased to have the opportunity to support Dynasil, an innovative and dynamic Massachusetts based company," said Suzanne Dwyer, MCRC Vice President. For more than thirty years, MCRC has provided mezzanine capital and long term debtto businesses which have operations in Massachusetts.
