BANGKOK, Nov. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewGenIvf Group Limited (NASDAQ: NIVF) (“NewGen” or the “Company”), today announced that it has entered into a binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with White Lion Capital, LLC, (“White Lion”) a California-based institutional investor focused on high-growth, early-stage public companies, setting out the principal terms and conditions for a $100 million equity line of credit, expandable to $500 million.

Pursuant to the Term Sheet, NewGen will have the option, but not the obligation, to sell to White Lion up to $100.0 million in shares of common stock over an initial 36-month period, with the potential to increase to $300.0 million upon substantial M&A or merger activity, and further to $500.0 million after $250.0 million has been drawn. The transactions contemplated by the Term Sheet are subject to entry into definitive agreements, and are subject to certain conditions, including a registration statement being filed immediately upon execution of the definitive agreements.

Mr. Siu Wing Fung Alfred, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of NewGen commented, “This major agreement marks another significant milestone in NewGen’s growth trajectory. With an initial commitment of $100 million, expandable to $500 million, this facility provides us with substantial financial flexibility and demonstrates the confidence our new institutional partner has in our business model and growth prospects.”

“From a strategic perspective, this financing facility aligns perfectly with our expansion plans across Asia. Importantly, the agreement's built-in scalability, particularly the provision to increase to $300 million upon substantial M&A or merger activity, gives us the firepower to act decisively when further opportunities arise in our rapidly evolving market. The flexibility to draw capital at our discretion enables us to maintain our strong balance sheet while pursuing potential strategic acquisitions. Moreover, the 36-month term, extendable to 65 months, provides us with a long-term capital partner to support our growth initiatives. We welcome White Lion to our roster of shareholders and look forward to strategically deploying this capital to drive sustainable growth and shareholder value.”
