Odyssey Marine Exploration issues shares in debt conversion, updates note balances

Odyssey Marine Exploration Inc. (NASDAQ:OMEX), currently valued at $87.2 million, reported unregistered sales of equity securities related to the conversion of outstanding debt, according to a statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company’s debt management efforts come at a crucial time, as InvestingPro data indicates potential challenges with debt servicing.

On September 24, investors converted a total of $2,844,112 in principal from the March 2023 Notes into 2,236,587 shares of common stock. Additionally, $684,661 in principal from the December 2023 Notes was converted into 531,478 shares of common stock. The company stated that the issuances were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506. With a current ratio of 0.13, the debt conversion appears timely as short-term obligations currently exceed liquid assets.

Following these transactions, Odyssey Marine Exploration has 50,384,858 shares of common stock outstanding. The remaining principal balances on the March 2023 Notes and December 2023 Notes are approximately $3.14 million and $3.05 million, respectively.

This information is based on a press release statement contained in the company’s SEC filing.
