Singapore, Aug. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Webuy Global Ltd. (Nasdaq: WBUY) (“Webuy” or the “Company”), a Southeast Asian community e-commerce retailer, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement for senior convertible debt (“Convertible Security”) with an initial principal amount of $2 million, and up to an additional $4 million with an accredited institutional investor (the “Investor”) upon mutual agreement. The initial conversion price of the Convertible Security is $0.213 per share, or 150% of the VWAP of the Class A ordinary shares on the trading day preceding the Note issuance. The notes bear zero interest with monthly payments to be made in either cash or stock at the Company’s option.

Vincent Xue Bin, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Webuy, stated, “We believe Webuy’s ability to obtain this type of institutional investment and the favorable terms, convertible at a premium to the current market price, demonstrate confidence in our business model and growth potential. Moreover, we believe our projected cash flow will enable us to repay all or a material portion of the amortization payments in cash, which would allow us to minimize dilution and maximize value for shareholders. This capital infusion is extremely timely as it enables us to accelerate our expansion strategy, particularly as we prepare to roll out a series of exciting new products and services throughout Southeast Asia. We look forward to providing further details on these latest initiatives in the weeks and months ahead.”
