In advance of this contemplated initial public offering, Newsmax has launched a private placement offering to raise $150 million.
For a limited time, eligible investors will be able to invest in this private offering. The private offering is solely available to accredited investors.
In the private offering the company is making available its Series B 7% Convertible Preferred Stock for an offering amount of $150 million with the ability to raise up to $225 million.
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 details and the ability to sign up to learn more about our contemplated public offering can be found at www.NewsmaxInvest.com.
At the closing of the company's anticipated public offering, all of the Series B Preferred Shares sold in the private offering will be converted into common shares of the company.
To the extent such common shares are not tradeable after a statutory holding period, Newsmax intends to file a registration statement with the SEC that will seek to register these common shares, subject to approval by the SEC, that will allow them to be freely tradeable.
