LOS ANGELES January 31, 2017 Gawk Inc., (OTCPK:GAWK) a cloud based, infrastructure-as-a-service company, announced the restructuring of its senior debt facility related to the acquisition of Connexum Acquisition Financing, a reduction in monthly debt service and a corresponding increase in cash flow.
Originally intended to reduce monthly payments by 15% as discussed in a disclosed management conference call, the Company was instead able to achieve a 23% reduction - from $64k to $49k per month.
After the first 12 months, the payments decrease to $33.5k for the final 6 months. In addition, a $100k discount kicks in if the full balance is paid within 12 months.
“We were pleasantly surprised at the favorability of these terms which exceeded our expectations,” commented CEO Scott Kettle. “This move frees up cash we can instead use to accelerate growth from increased investment in technology and talent.”
