Perfect Moment receives $5.1 million in loans from chairman, issues shares as consideration

Perfect Moment Ltd. (NYSE American:PMNT) disclosed Tuesday that its chairman, Max Gottschalk, has extended a total of $5,089,960 in loans to the company. The loans are intended to provide working capital for product purchases and operations, according to a statement based on a recent SEC filing. According to InvestingPro data, the company has been quickly burning through cash, with negative free cash flow of $10.11 million in the last twelve months.

The financing consists of two unsecured promissory notes. The first note is for $3,389,960, carries an interest rate of 12% per annum with interest payable monthly, and has a maturity date of November 8, 2025. The second note is for $1,700,000, also at 12% annual interest payable monthly, with the principal and any unpaid interest due on August 18, 2030. Despite recent challenges, InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains more cash than debt on its balance sheet.

As consideration for the loans, Perfect Moment issued Mr. Gottschalk $305,398 worth of restricted common stock. The shares were priced at $0.46822 per share, reflecting the average closing price of the company’s common stock on the NYSE American for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the notes. This resulted in the issuance of 652,253 shares of restricted common stock.

The company indicated that the descriptions of the promissory notes are qualified in their entirety by the full terms and conditions, which were filed as exhibits to the SEC report.

This information is based on a press release statement and the company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
