SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Summit Wireless Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: WISA), a leading provider of immersive, wireless sound technology for intelligent devices and next-generation home entertainment systems, today announced the sale of a $2.04 million senior secured security and warrant to Lind Global Macro Fund, LP. At closing, $1.7 million in gross proceeds will be funded, with the net proceeds to be used by Summit for general working capital and debt repayment purposes.

Summit Wireless Technologies’ CEO Brett Moyer commented, “Summit completed this financing as a critical next step to executing its growth plan and supporting its customers as they launch their WiSA-certified products at retail this year.”

The convertible security is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of Summit Wireless Technologies’ assets and properties and is convertible, at the option of the investor and subject to certain exceptions in the security, on the earlier of (i) sixty days from the closing of such private placement and (ii) the date on which a registration statement covering the shares of Summit’s common stock underlying such security and warrant is filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The security is convertible into shares of Summit Wireless’ common stock at the lower of $0.32 or 90% of the 5 lowest VWAPs during the 20 trading day period prior to conversion, subject to certain leak-out provisions. The convertible security may be prepaid at any time without penalty, but the investor has the right to convert 33% of the then outstanding amount of such security into shares of Summit’s common stock prior to such prepayment.

Additionally, the investor was issued a five-year warrant to purchase up to approximately 4.6 million shares of Summit’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.32 per share.

Further, Maxim Group LLC served as placement agent in connection with the forgoing transaction.
