Microvast Holdings announces departure of chief financial officer
BREA, Calif. - Bollinger Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ:BINI) announced Tuesday it has eliminated all warrants and $25.3 million of convertible notes through agreements with existing noteholders to exchange these financial instruments for newly created preferred stock. According to InvestingPro data, this move comes as the company operates with significant debt obligations and has been rapidly burning through cash reserves.
The electric vehicle manufacturer said the transaction increases shareholder equity by approximately $133 million, which the company expects will help it exceed Nasdaq listing requirements. The announcement comes amid challenging market conditions for BINI, with the stock down over 69% in the past six months and showing significant price volatility.
"We have improved the Company’s financial position with the elimination of all warrants and $25.3 million of convertible notes," said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Bollinger Innovations, in the press release statement.

Despite its product lineup, InvestingPro data shows the company has not been profitable over the last twelve months and faces challenges with weak gross profit margins.
