Israel-based technology company Rail Vision Ltd. (Rail Vision) announced Jan. 9 that it has established a $6 million credit facility and an additional amount of up to $3 million, subject to certain conditions, with a global investment firm.
According to Rail Vision, the credit facility, which has a term of 10 months, will accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The first payment of $1.5 million was drawn down upon execution of the agreement.
After the credit facility is exhausted, Rail Vision may draw down the additional loans in an aggregate amount up to $3 million. The additional loans include two initial installments of up to $750,000, and two additional installments of up to $750,000, subject to certain conditions. The additional loans, Rail Vision says, will accrue interest at a rate of 12% per annum.
As part of the agreement, Rail Vision granted a warrant to the global investment firm to purchase ordinary shares of the company representing an aggregate exercise amount of $7.5 million with an initial exercise price of $3.10, subject to certain adjustments, representing a 150% premium of the closing share price of Rail Vision on January 5, 2024, according to the company.
As a condition to the credit facility, Shmuel Donnerstein, Inbal Kreiss and Keren Aslan have tendered their resignations from the company’s Board of Directors. The Board has appointed Amitay Weiss and Hila Kiron-Revach to serve until the company’s next general meeting of shareholders.
“The successful completion of this financing marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to enhance our capital structure,” said Rail Vision CEO Shahar Hania. “The facility strengthens our financial position and improves our ability to accelerate the development and commercialization of cutting-edge solutions in railway safety. This new credit facility is not merely a transaction; it’s a testament to the confidence that our investors have in our business strategy and our team’s ability to execute it. We are now better positioned to drive innovation, expand our market reach, and deliver more value to our stakeholders.”
