IFAN Financial Announces $2.5 Million Financing by Sea Otter Global Ventures, LLC

IFAN Financial, Inc.

IFAN FinancialThe financing is notably comprised of two parts — a $500,000 secured promissory note and a $2,000,000 equity line of credit. The 12-month loan is secured by insider stock, and carries a 10% annual interest rate, payable quarterly in cash. Sea Otter provided half of the loan upon closing, and the other half will be released upon filing of the S-1 registration statement.

The equity line of credit commits Sea Otter to purchase up to $2,000,000 of IFAN Financial common stock following the effectiveness of the S-1 over the next 18 months. The purchase price will be the lesser of a 20% discount to Market Price (taken to be the average of the 3 lowest volume weighted average prices of the stock during the five consecutive trading days prior to notice by IFAN to draw on the line of credit) or a 15% discount to the price on the fifth trading day of the pricing period. IFAN have full jurisdiction on the facility which allows the company to control share purchases and minimize dilution.

Sea Otter Global VenturesIn addition, IFAN will issue to Sea Otter 500,000 warrants to purchase one share of common stock per warrant. Upon execution of the definitive transaction documents, the first 250,000 warrants were issued. The balance is to be issued when the S-1 is filed. These warrants are exercisable for 36 months after issuance. The exercise price of 250,000 of the warrants has been set at $0.50, and the exercise price of the other 250,000 has been set at $1.00. These warrants may be settled in cash or by non-cash means.
