AVCT Announces Intent to Effect Reverse Stock Split

AVCT Announces Intent to Effect Reverse Stock Split

Common Stock Will Begin Trading on a Split-Adjusted Basis on October 3, 2022

ATLANTA, Sept. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: AVCT) (the “Company”) today announces that it intends to effect a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split will become effective on September 30, 2022 (the “Effective Time”) upon filing with the Delaware Secretary of State of an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”), and the Company’s common stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on October 3, 2022. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “AVCT.” The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the Reverse Stock Split will be 030382204.

As previously disclosed, at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on May 24, 2022, the Company’s stockholders voted to approve three alternative amendments to the Company’s Charter to effect a Reverse Stock Split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of either 1-for-5, 1-for-10 or 1-for-15, with such ratio and the implementation and timing of such Reverse Stock Split to be determined by the Company’s board of directors. The board of directors subsequently approved the implementation of a 1-for-15 Reverse Stock Split.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each share of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically reclassified as and converted into one-fifteenth (1/15) of a share of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share will instead be entitled to receive cash in lieu of such fractional share from the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company.

The Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of the common stock or the authorized number of shares of common stock. All outstanding warrants and preferred stock entitling their holders to purchase or obtain or convert into shares of our common stock will be adjusted, as required by the terms of these securities.

AVCT Announces Senior Secured Convertible Note Agreement

AVCT Announces Senior Secured Convertible Note Agreement

Net proceeds to be used to strengthen balance sheet for first year as a “pure-play” converged communications company

ATLANTA, April 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: AVCT) (the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement for the sale of a new series of senior secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) to an institutional investor, subject to customary closing conditions. The proceeds, after original issue discount, will total $10 million, before payment of commissions and expenses.

Provided no Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) has occurred, the Notes will not accrue interest, and the Company will be required to redeem $800,000 of the outstanding amounts under the Notes each month commencing August 1, 2022, until the maturity date of October 1, 2023, at which time all outstanding amounts remaining, if any, will be due and payable in full.

At the Company’s option, each redemption payment can be made in cash or stock at a discount to the then-current closing bid price at the time of the redemption.

The investor will also have the right to an accelerated conversion of any or all of the outstanding balance of the Notes into stock at a conversion price of $0.99 per share.

The Notes will be secured by substantially all assets of the Company and will rank superior to all outstanding and future indebtedness of the Company.

The Company expects to use the proceeds from the sale of the Notes to strengthen the balance sheet of the Company and help in the execution of its newly focused “pure-play” converged communications strategy in the wake of the previously completed divestiture of its Computex business.

Northland Capital Markets served as sole placement agent in the transaction.

AT&T Elevates Customer Engagement with IPTF Click-to-Connect from Kandy

IPTF Click-to-Connect Gives All Businesses Access to Omnichannel Experience to Traditional Toll-free Calls

ATLANTA, March 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc.’s (AVCtechnologies) (Nasdaq: AVCT) Kandy Communications business unit (Kandy), a global leader in secure and intelligent cloud communications, today announced that IPTF Click-to-Connect is available to AT&T IP Toll-Free (IPTF) users. Together with Kandy, AT&T is helping to provide more businesses with the ability to transform their customer experience.

AT&T IPTF provides businesses with an inbound Voice over IP (VoIP) service that delivers toll-free voice calls directly to their business locations, permitting customers to call their business without incurring usage charges.

With IPTF Click-to-Connect, AT&T is enabling their IPTF business customers to readily add chat, video, file sharing, screenshare, or even co-browsing to an existing toll-free voice call for smartphone or browser-based users. Agents can assist users using the channel of their choice and significantly enhance end user engagement and customer call resolution.

IPTF Click-to-Connect is all web based with no software download required giving businesses a simpler way to enhance the customer experience. Paired with optional interactive voice response, IPTF Click-to-Connect can also help automate routine responses that can reduce call handling time and escalate to human service agent when required.

Users can click a link in an SMS text message, chat, or email to instantly call an agent. Smartphone users can go one step further, point their camera to scan a QR code found just about anywhere in print, signage, advertising, TV, or even online, and be connected directly to an agent.

“Customers are more frequently choosing different methods to connect with the companies they do business with, including web chat and text. By providing new solutions that enable simple, efficient ways to interact, we are elevating the ability for businesses to service their customers while delivering a more engaging and satisfying experience,” said John Ventura, Director, Product Management and Development, AT&T Business.

“Voice has been the traditional way for businesses to engage their customers, but the market is changing rapidly,” said Chuck Canton, President, Kandy Communications. “IPTF Click-to-Connect is moving businesses beyond traditional voice to make the customer experience more engaging. With customers now expecting to engage using multiple channels of their choice, we can deliver an omnichannel experience that benefits businesses and their customers alike.”

AVCtechnologies Announces Definitive Agreement to Divest Computex Technology Solutions to Focus on Kandy Platform

AVCtechnologies Announces Definitive Agreement to Divest Computex Technology Solutions to Focus on Kandy Platform

The sale will also further strengthen AVCtechnologies’ financial position

ATLANTA, Jan. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc. (“AVCtechnologies” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: AVCT), a trusted partner providing best-in-class cloud-based solutions to global enterprise customers, today announced it has executed a definitive agreement to sell its Computex Technology Group (Computex) business to Calian Group Ltd. (Calian) (TSX: CGY), which will complete AVCtechnologies’ transition to a pure-play cloud communications and collaboration company, centered on its premium Kandy platform.

The proceeds from the sale along with use of cash on hand are expected to leave AVCtechnologies debt-free and allow long-term value creation for its shareholders. AVCtechnologies’ recently completed share registration related to warrants issued in prior transactions will, if all the issued warrants are exercised, based on the warrant exercise prices which currently range from $1.50 to $2.00 per share, result in the receipt of over $40 million in incremental cash proceeds, fully funding its strategic growth initiatives including the recently announced partnerships with Braidio and Etisalat.

AVCtechnologies also recently announced that Michael Tessler had joined its Board as Chairman. Tessler is the founder and former CEO of Broadsoft, one of the world’s largest Unified Communications as a service (UCaaS) platform providers, which was sold to Cisco in 2018 for $1.9 billion. Cloud communications represents a fast-growing total addressable market that is expected to grow at least in the low-teens CAGR over the next four years to $100 billion1.

AVCtechnologies’ Kandy platform, which it acquired in December 2020, is one of the largest pure-play providers of Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS), Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS), and Direct Routing as a Service (DRaaS) for enterprise customers and has consistently generated above-market revenue growth rates. AVCtechnologies previously announced projected revenues of its Kandy Business Unit to grow from $14.3 million in 2020 to approximately $18.8 million in 2021 and to more than $37 million in 2022. The significant projected growth is driven by 505% year-over-year subscriber growth (90% CAGR) from January 2019 to November 2021.

Darrell J. Mays, CEO of AVCtechnologies, said “Our white-label relationships with key telecommunication companies and technology vendors, global carrier-grade connectivity, and proven SD-WAN integration position AVCtechnologies as a premier cloud communications provider poised to gain market share.”

AVCtechnologies acquired Computex, an award-winning IT solutions provider specializing in data centers, enterprise networking, cloud, cybersecurity, and managed services, in April 2020.

“We have been pleased with the growth of Computex’s VAR and Managed Services businesses since acquiring the business in 2020; however, with our newly dedicated focus on our core Kandy cloud communications and collaboration technologies, we decided to divest Computex and believe the business will continue to thrive under Calian’s ownership,” said Mays.

The closing of the transaction is subject to shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions. Shareholders holding more than 50% of AVCtechnologies’ outstanding common stock have signed voting agreements to support the transaction.

Truist Securities, Inc. is serving as sole financial advisor and Greenberg Traurig LLP is serving as legal counsel to AVCtechnologies.
