Microvast Holdings announces departure of chief financial officer
LOUISVILLE - Creative Realities, Inc. (NASDAQ: CREX), a digital signage and AdTech solutions provider, announced today that it has reached a settlement regarding its previous obligation to pay contingent supplemental cash payments to former stockholders of Reflect Systems, Inc. following a merger. As part of the settlement, the company will make a $3 million cash payment, issue a $4 million promissory note due on September 14, 2027, and grant warrants for purchasing its common stock. The settlement comes as the company, currently valued at $19.64 million in market capitalization, faces challenges with short-term liquidity, according to InvestingPro data.
The $4 million note will carry a 14.0% annual interest rate, concluding with a balloon payment of $2.3 million at maturity. This financial obligation is unsecured and will utilize funds from Creative Realities’ existing credit agreement with First Merchants Bank. With a current ratio of 0.55, the company’s ability to meet short-term obligations requires careful management, though its revenue growth of 12.59% over the last twelve months shows business momentum.
Rick Mills, CEO of Creative Realities, expressed satisfaction with the settlement, emphasizing its benefit to the company, investors, and former Reflect stockholders. Mills highlighted the settlement’s role in providing financial flexibility, removing share value overhang, and establishing a clear payment schedule that reduces uncertainty.
The company, known for its digital signage-based solutions and SaaS services across various markets, aims to focus on growth and improved operating results for the remainder of fiscal 2025 following this agreement.
This announcement is based on a press release statement, and it should be noted that forward-looking statements within the release are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties.
In other recent news, Creative Realities, Inc. has announced a delay in the consideration timeline for its merger with Reflect Systems, Inc. The company disclosed this change in an SEC filing, stating that the period for former Reflect stockholders to demand payment of the "Guaranteed Consideration" will now start on March 17, 2025. This marks the latest in a series of amendments to the merger agreement, with the most recent prior adjustment made on February 17, 2025. Additionally, Creative Realities has extended the vesting period for stock options awarded to its CEO, Richard Mills.

The vesting period will continue until a resolution is reached, provided Mills remains in a qualifying role. In another development, Creative Realities has amended the terms of the merger agreement, offering former Reflect stockholders a 30-day window starting February 24, 2025, to submit demands for their guaranteed consideration.
