Cyren Announces Private Placement of Convertible Debentures

MCLEAN, VA / ACCESSWIRE / March 17, 2020 / Cyren (NASDAQ:CYRN) announced today that it has entered into purchase agreements with a select group of accredited and institutional investors for the purchase of $10.25 million aggregate principal amount of convertible debentures in a private placement.

The debentures will be unsecured, subordinated obligations of Cyren and carry a 5.75% interest rate per annum, payable semi-annually in cash or ordinary shares at Cyren's election. The debentures will have a four year term and mature in March 2024, unless converted in accordance with their terms prior to maturity. The debentures have a conversion price of $0.75 per share and are convertible into 1,333 ordinary shares per $1,000 principal amount of debentures. The conversion price is subject to adjustment based on the price and timing of future equity offerings and other customary adjustments. Upon the satisfaction of price and other conditions, Cyren has the right to force the conversion of the debentures.

Cyren expects to use the proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes. The closing of the sale of the debentures is expected to occur on or about March 19, 2020, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and approvals.

The debentures and the ordinary shares, if any, issuable upon conversion of the debentures or payable as interest on the debentures have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, Cyren has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the ordinary shares underlying the debentures.

Craig-Hallum Capital Group is acting as exclusive placement agent in connection with this transaction.
