BranchOut Food Closes $400,000 Senior Secured Loan

BEND, Ore., Jan. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BranchOut Food Inc. (NASDAQ: BOF), a food technology company and maker of dehydrated fruit and vegetable-based products, today announced that the Company has closed on a $400,000 Senior Secured Loan from an investor group that includes Eagle Vision Fund LP. Eagle Vision Fund LP is a current stockholder in Branchout Food and its Managing Member is a member of the Branchout Foods Board of Directors.

Eric Healy, CEO of BranchOut Food, commented, “These funds refinance an existing $200,000 loan and will help fulfill the growing number of purchase orders we’ve received. We’re also in discussions for a revolving line of credit, which together with our cash balances and other current assets, would diminish the need for additional funding to finance customer orders at this time. As we begin the new year, we will continue to focus on ramping production, growing sales and distribution, and building on our 2023 record sales.”

In connection with closing the Senior Secured Loan, the lenders were issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.
