C-Bond Systems Announces Full Redemption of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Partial Prepayment of Convertible Debt

Company Eliminates Multiple Discounted Convertible Instruments from Capital Structure, Reducing Potential Dilution

HOUSTON, Aug. 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- C-Bond Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “C-Bond”) (OTC: CBNT), a nanotechnology solutions company, announced today that it has redeemed in full its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, as well as a portion of its convertible debt outstanding, using $270,000 in net proceeds from an August 2020 equity financing.

Prior to the redemption of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, there were 103,200 shares outstanding, with a stated value of $1,000 per share. The Company also prepaid two convertible promissory notes in the amount of $57,750 each, plus interest. Prior to redemption, both the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the convertible debt, held by third-party lenders, were convertible into the Company’s common stock at a discount to the market price.

“We are pleased to have simplified our capital structure through the elimination of these discounted convertible instruments, better positioning us to create value for our shareholders,” said Scott R. Silverman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of C-Bond Systems. “As we continue to execute upon our business plan and grow revenues across both our Transportation Solutions and Safety Solutions Groups, it is our goal to reach cash flow breakeven – eliminating the need to rely on outside funding.

“Concurrent with these efforts, we are pursuing new avenues by which we can retire our remaining convertible notes. I look forward to providing further updates on the capital structure front as appropriate,” concluded Silverman.
