SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - January 31, 2011) - Jones Soda Co. (
Prior to the current draw down, Jones Soda sold an aggregate of 3,632,120 shares under the equity financing facility, for which the company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4.1 million. With the closing of the current draw down, which is subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, Jones Soda will have issued the maximum aggregate number of shares available for sale under the equity financing facility and, accordingly, the facility by its terms automatically will terminate. Jones Soda intends to use the net proceeds from the planned sale for targeted funding of new marketing programs, to secure and grow larger distributor and national retail accounts, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
"We are pleased to have completed the use of our equity line facility," stated Bill Meissner, Jones Soda's Chief Executive Officer. "This financing tool will terminate with us having raised total capital of nearly $6.4 million. The facility was an important financing option, allowing us to raise the capital we need to go forward through 2011 and support strategic growth which we believe will result in a significant benefit to our shareholders."
The securities described above will be sold by Jones Soda pursuant to a registration statement previously filed and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
