MIAMI, FL, Aug. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Safe & Green Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: SGBX) (“Safe & Green Holdings” or the “Company”), a leading developer, designer, and fabricator of modular structures, today announced that it has received a term sheet from a premier lender to refinance its Waldron facility. This potential refinancing transaction is expected to be on highly favorable terms and is being pursued in lieu of the previously planned sale-leaseback transaction.
The favorable terms offered are intended to allow Safe & Green to pay off more expensive existing debt and is expected to result in over $1 million of additional working capital for the Company. This strategic move underscores the Company’s commitment to strengthening its financial position while retaining ownership of its flagship facility.
Paul Galvin, Chairperson and CEO of Safe & Green Holdings, commented, “This anticipated refinancing is expected to be on very favorable terms and would enable us to retain ownership of our Waldron facility, which is a cornerstone of our operations. Moreover, this transaction would provide us additional working capital to accelerate our growth strategy.”
Tricia Kaelin, Chief Financial Officer of Safe & Green Holdings, further noted, “Monetizing our equity in the asset in order to provide working capital is non-dilutive and these terms are more favorable compared to our current financing.”
In addition to this potential refinancing, the Company expects to receive the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) payment within the next year, which would provide an additional $1.4 million of non-dilutive working capital. This anticipated inflow will further bolster Safe & Green’s financial flexibility as it continues to execute its strategic initiatives.
