ASHLAND, Ky., March 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TX Rail Products, Inc, (“we, “ ”our,” ”us,” “TX Rail” or “Company”) (OTC Markets PINK: TXRP), a supplier of rail and rail products to the U.S. coal mining industry, short line railroads and tunneling contractors, today announced that previously disclosed strategic private placement financing has been terminated and will not proceed.

As previously announced, on January 5, 2026, and as updated on January 16, 2026, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional accredited investor for the sale of 6,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.30 per share for anticipated gross proceeds to us of approximately $1.8 million, along with an option for the investor to purchase up to an additional 4,000,000 shares at $0.50 per share over a 36-month period. The closing of the transaction was subject to certain customary closing conditions.

Mr. Shrewsbury, CEO and Chairman of TX Rail, commented “While we are disappointed that this financing will not be completed, we stay focused on advancing our operational objectives and supporting customer demand. We will continue to evaluate alternative financing options, as appropriate, to strengthen our balance sheet and support working capital needs.”

We believe that, based on our current operating plan, our existing resources, including cash and cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements for the next twelve months. In order to grow our business, strengthen our balance sheet, or in the event our cash flows from operations are insufficient to fund our operations, we may need or determine to raise additional financing through one or more debt or equity financings. There can be no assurance we will be able to raise such additional financing or upon terms that are acceptable to us or at all. During the three months ending December 31, 2025, we generated cash from operations of approximately $932,000 and as of December 31, 2025, had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $68,000.
