DMS Announces Private Placement of Convertible Preferred Stock


Digital Media Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: DMS) (the "Company"), today announced that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain purchasers, including existing shareholders and officers, to purchase 80,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock and 60,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $14.0 million. The purchase price represents a 10% discount to the aggregate stated value of the preferred stock of $15.54 million. At signing, the Company issued to the purchasers in the offering warrants to acquire 14,444,444 shares of Class A common stock of the Company at $0.6453 per share. The closing of the offering is expected to occur concurrently with the previously announced ClickDealer transaction on or about March 30, 2023, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The Series B convertible preferred stock issued in the transaction will be purchased by Leo Investors, Lion Capital and Messrs. Joseph Marinucci, Fernando Borghese and Matthew Goodman, founders of the Company.

"DMS was able to execute this financing from a combination of new and existing institutional investors, as well as certain founders of the company, which shows incredible support among existing shareholders. This transaction helps bolster the DMS balance sheet and, together with the acquisition of ClickDealer, will help position DMS to execute on our key strategic growth initiatives," stated Joe Marinucci, CEO of DMS.

A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners is acting as the financial advisor in connection with the offering.

The Series A and Series B preferred stock and shares of ommon stock into which these preferred shares are convertible are being issued in reliance upon the exemption from the securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D as promulgated by SEC under the 1933 Act.
