Super League Enterprise said that it expects to raise between $12 million and $20 million from the private placement. It also expects the private placement to close sometime after its Annual General Meeting of Stockholders in October. Once complete, the funding from the private placement will remove its debt, strengthen its balance sheet, and allow the company to regain Nasdaq compliance by meeting equity listing requirements.
Matt Edelman, President and CEO of Super League Enterprise, said, “Together with the recent reductions in our cost structure, this transaction will set us firmly on a path to creating durable, long-term value for our shareholders as a gaming media company poised to enter the crypto economy.”
