Provides all shareholders access to an
investment structure typically available exclusively to
institutional investors
FG Merger Corp. (Nasdaq: FGMC) (“FGMC” or the
“Company”), a special purpose acquisition company, today
announced the unique features of its upcoming business combination
with iCoreConnect Inc. (OTCQB: ICCT) (“iCoreConnect”), a
SaaS company with an enterprise and healthcare workflow
platform.
Key features of the structure include:
- At the close of the business combination with iCoreConnect, all
non-redeemed shares of FGMC common stock held by investors will be
automatically exchanged for convertible preferred stock of the
combined company
- The preferred stock will have a 12% coupon, payable in cash or
paid-in-kind for the first 24 months after the close of the
transaction and thereafter the coupon will be paid in cash
- The initial conversion price from common stock to preferred
stock will be $10.00 per share
- Investors holding the convertible preferred stock have downside
protection for the first 12 months, as the conversion price will be
reset based on the trading price of ICCT common stock after one
year
- iCoreConnect is expected to uplist from the over the counter
(“OTC”) market to the Nasdaq under the ticker “ICCT”
following the close of the business combination
- Retail investors can invest in FG Merger Corp. by purchasing
FGMC shares on the Nasdaq Global Market through any brokerage
account
Wes Schrader, CEO of FGMC, commented, “We are thrilled to be
able to offer this unique investment structure, which is usually
only accessible to institutional investors through a private
investment in public equity, or PIPE, deal to all investors. Our
transaction, with the attractive dividend, downside protection and
ability to capture the full upside of the combined company,
presents a rare opportunity for retail investors to participate in
contributing growth capital to a public company. The Company’s
business combination with iCoreConnect is particularly exciting due
to its rapidly growing software-as-a-service (SaaS) recurring
revenue model, which is backed by a highly diversified base of
dental and healthcare providers as well as blue chip and enterprise
level clients.”
