DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - Apr 4, 2017) - New Age Beverages Corporation (
New Age Beverages Corporation successfully completed a $17.5 million financing and up-listing to the NASDAQ Capital Market Exchange in February. One of the commitments that the Company made to investors was to eliminate all debt and further strengthen the Company's financial platform. The sale/lease-back is a follow-through on that commitment and is a successful conclusion to the planned transaction initially signed January 10, 2017.
In the transaction New Age sold one of its buildings to a group of local investors for $8.9 million, and executed a 10-year lease back. As part of the proceeds New Age will eliminate the $4.7 million long-term mortgage it held on the property with US Bank and consequently reduce its invested capital by an equivalent amount. Proceeds to the company are expected to be a net of approximately $4.0 million, which it intends to use for organic growth and working capital.
