The new private offering is solely available to accredited investors.*
The current private offering currently consists of shares of the Company’s Series B 7% Convertible Preferred Stock for a maximum Offering amount of up to $225 million.
The company’s subsidiary, Newsmax Media Inc., operates the nation’s fourth highest-rated cable news channel in the U.S., as well as several media platforms reaching more than 40 million Americans regularly.
Qualified prospective investors who meet the qualifications of an “accredited investor”* can invest as little as $5,000 in this offering and join Newsmax as a shareholder and owner.
Full Offering details and the ability to sign up to learn more about our contemplated public offering can be found at NewsmaxInvest.com.
At the closing of the company’s anticipated public offering, the company will convert all shares sold in this private offering (Series B 7% Preferred Offering) to common shares.
To the extent such common shares are not tradeable after a statutory holding period, Newsmax intends to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that will seek to register these common shares, subject to approval by the Commission, that will allow them to be traded on a public exchange.
