COLUMBIA, MD / ACCESSWIRE / February 26, 2024 / Rekor Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:REKR) ("Rekor" or the "Company"), a leader in developing and implementing state-of-the-art roadway intelligence technology, today announced its decision to early redeem all $12,500,00 of its outstanding Senior Secured Notes ("SSNs").

It frees our assets from all encumbrances and significantly reduces our interest expense. Clearing our balance sheet of secured debt will provide us with greater operational freedom and financial flexibility and positions us better to pursue strategic growth opportunities. This is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance shareholder value and is in line with our commitment to maintaining a strong and healthy financial foundation."
