IRVINE, Calif. and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ReShape Lifesciences Inc. (Nasdaq: RSLS), the premier physician-led weight loss and metabolic health-solutions company, and Vyome Therapeutics, Inc. (“Vyome”), a private clinical-stage company targeting immuno-inflammatory and rare diseases, today provided an update on the definitive merger agreement under which ReShape and Vyome will combine in an all-stock transaction. The combined company will focus on advancing the development of Vyome’s immuno-inflammatory assets and on identifying additional opportunities between the world-class Indian innovation corridor and the U.S. market. ReShape also provided an update on the asset purchase agreement with Biorad Medisys.

On July 9, 2024, ReShape Lifesciences Inc. entered into a definitive merger agreement with Vyome, under which ReShape and Vyome will combine in an all-stock transaction. At the closing of the merger, ReShape will be renamed Vyome Holdings, Inc. and expects to trade under the Nasdaq ticker symbol “HIND,” representing the company’s alignment with the U.S.-India relationship. The board of directors of the combined company will be comprised of six directors designated by Vyome and one director designated by ReShape, and executive management of the combined company will consist of Vyome’s executive officers.

Simultaneously with the execution of the merger agreement, ReShape entered into an asset purchase agreement with Biorad, which is party to a previously disclosed exclusive license agreement with ReShape for ReShape’s Obalon® Gastric Balloon System. Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, ReShape will sell substantially all of its assets to Biorad (or an affiliate thereof), including ReShape’s Lap-Band® System, Obalon® Gastric Balloon System and the Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation™ (DBSN™) System (but excluding cash), and Biorad will assume substantially all of ReShape’s liabilities. The cash purchase price under the asset purchase agreement will count toward ReShape’s net cash for purposes of determining the post-merger ownership allocation between ReShape and Vyome stockholders under the merger agreement.

On October 1, 2024, ReShape filed a Form S-4 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), for the merger with Vyome and on December 6, 2024 ReShape filed an amendment to that Form S-4 registration statement.

On December 20, 2024, ReShape filed a Form S-1 registration statement for the previously announced Equity Line of Credit (ELOC) with Ascent Partners Fund LLC.

“As previously reported, in July, we coordinated a merger agreement with Vyome and a concurrent asset purchase agreement with Biorad, successfully maximizing value for our stockholders. Since entering into the agreement, both the ReShape and Vyome teams have worked diligently to answer comments from the SEC on the S-4. We are currently in the process of responding to comments from the SEC,” stated Paul F. Hickey, President and Chief Executive Officer of ReShape Lifesciences®. “Once the S-4 filing is declared effective, we will set the record date for the subsequent shareholder meeting. It is important to note that our board unanimously recommended merging with Vyome and concurrently selling assets to Biorad. We believe this merger will unlock significant value for our shareholders in the newly combined entity. Additionally, we are working to finalize the S-1 resale registration statement for the ELOC, which is intended to provide capital for our general operations and also expenses related to the closing of the merger and asset purchase agreements. I am truly excited about the value we are delivering to our stockholders and the growth potential resulting from these transactions.”

“We believe this transaction will allow us to unlock the full potential of Vyome’s pipeline as a publicly listed company following the merger with ReShape, as we continue to address the unmet needs of patients suffering from immune-inflammatory diseases and building a broader platform that leverages our comparative advantage in the U.S.-India innovation corridor,” added Krishna K. Gupta, current director of Vyome and to be appointed Chairman of the combined company. “Our vision for Vyome is to build a world-class company leveraging the best of talent and capital between the U.S. and India to develop new therapies for unmet chronic immune-inflammatory conditions in a highly-cost efficient manner. We also have a broader vision of augmenting our portfolio along the three pillars of biopharma, medical devices, and healthcare artificial intelligence. It is important to note that we have no debt and a clean capital structure, positioning Vyome for success in the public markets.”

By applying groundbreaking science and its unique positioning across the US-India innovation corridor, Vyome seeks to deliver lasting value to shareholders in a hyper cost-efficient manner while upholding global standards of quality and safety.

PHOENIX, Jan. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Global Water Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: GWRS), a pure-play water resource management company, has appointed Robert J. Kuta to the new position of executive vice president of engineering and environmental resources.

The strategic hire supports the company’s ongoing efforts to further enhance its water and wastewater services for customers in Arizona’s booming economy and prepare for growth and regional expansion. The new position provides numerous benefits with the combination of engineering and environmental resources, including helping to ensure Global Water Resources maintains its exceptional compliance record as the company continues to acquire troubled utilities and manage new regulatory standards.

Kuta brings to Global Water Resources more than 35 years of experience in the water industry, from operations, project delivery and strategic planning to developing and delivering innovative business performance models and regulatory strategies. He also has considerable executive experience within the southwest U.S. regulated utility space.

Kuta has led large and diverse water industry organizations in both domestic and international business settings. This has included managing large and complex water and wastewater design-build-operate projects around the world which have involved food processing, mining, oil & gas, energy production and other high-growth industries.

“We welcome Rob’s extensive experience and exceptional record of achievement as we prepare to implement what could be our largest capital improvement program in the years to come,” stated Global Water Resources CEO, Ron Fleming. “We have great confidence in Rob’s ability to use his diverse skill set to enhance our organizational performance.

“In coordination with our exceptional existing team, Rob will develop and execute on infrastructure and environmental programs designed to benefit our growing regional communities while maintaining compliance as our top mandate. We look forward to Rob’s contributions as we apply our unique approach to Total Water Management in solving today’s infrastructure renewal and environmental challenges.”

Kuta previously served as vice president of engineering and chief water quality and environmental affairs compliance officer at California Water Service Company (Cal Water), the country’s third largest investor-owned water utility. At Cal Water, he oversaw capital expenditures of $1.4 billion under a three-year development and infrastructure expansion program.

“I respect Global Water’s approach to the water utility sector and what they have been able to achieve in its relatively short history,” said Kuta. “Global Water has a tremendous opportunity to make an even greater difference in providing reliable water resource management to Arizona communities. This mission has become increasingly vital as the region continues to experience unprecedented growth. I look forward to leading our engineering, construction, and environmental resources departments, including our new industrial division, with a focus on creating successful outcomes for all stakeholders.”

Prior to Cal Water, Kuta served as senior vice president of Operations Management Service – Water, Environment & Nuclear at the engineering firm, CH2M HILL (subsequently acquired by Jacobs). At CH2M, he led 1,400 skilled associates in delivering $250 million in annual service contract work that included site-based operations, maintenance and consulting services for public and private sector clients. He also helped lead infrastructure improvement programs and project management services valued at over $2 billion, including alternative delivery water/wastewater projects and U.S. military utility privatization programs.

Before CH2M HILL, Kuta served in several roles of increasing responsibility at American Water Works, including president of its Arizona American Water Company subsidiary. He also served as regional vice president of Service Delivery at Western Region Company, another subsidiary of American Water, where he managed a rolling 5-year gross capital budget of over $1 billion while maintaining close alignment with the region’s rate recovery plan.

He currently serves on the board for the Design-Build Institute of America’s Western Pacific Region, which provides ‘design-build done right’ education and professional certification opportunities that advance industry best practices.

Kuta previously served as a member of the board of directors of the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency, which represents the interests of 24 cities and water districts and two private utilities in Alameda, Santa Clara and San Mateo counties.

He is also an active member of several other industry groups, including American Water Works Association, National Association of Water Companies, National Council for Public-Private Partnerships, Water Environment Federation, Water for People, Living Water, and WateReuse Association.

He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Central Michigan University and MBA from University of Phoenix. He completed graduate studies in Hydrology/Civil Engineering at Arizona State University and earned an Advanced Certificate for Executives in Management, Innovation, and Technology from MIT.

BOCA RATON, Fla., Jan. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FlexShopper, Inc. (Nasdaq: FPAY), a prominent national online lease-to-own retailer and payment solutions provider, today announced the preliminary results of its previously disclosed unit rights offering (the “Rights Offering”), which expired at 5:00 pm ET on January 10, 2025 (the “Expiration Date”). The Company also announced that the holder of the Company’s subordinated debt has elected to convert 25%, or $2.5 million of the outstanding principal balance in the Rights Offering. The units sold at $1.70 were at a 15% discount to the 3-day volume weighted average price and included a share and 3 additional rights to purchase shares at discounts to the trading price.

Preliminary Proceeds

According to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Subscription Agent”), as of the Expiration Date, approximately 5,547,993 subscription rights (the “Subscription Rights”) have been exercised to purchase approximately 21% of the Company’s common stock.   Through the initial portion of the Subscription Rights offering, FlexShopper raised $9.4 million in gross proceeds.   There are an additional 21 million rights that can be exercised over the next 90 days at 30-day intervals for additional shares.

“I want to thank all of my fellow shareholders who subscribed to our subscription rights for their continuing support, confidence, and above all, trust in FlexShopper,” said Russ Heiser, CEO of FlexShopper. “The Rights Offering is an efficient, shareholder friendly, and accretive way to raise capital. At the end of the 2024 third quarter, our stock closed at $1.03 per share, representing a market cap of $22.1 million, compared to FlexShopper’s closing stock price at January 10, 2025 of $1.90 per share, representing a market cap over $54 million.   We believe this appreciation reflects the accretive nature of the Rights Offering’s use of proceeds, as well as the growing strength of our financial and operating results.”

Mr. Heiser continued: “Shareholders that participated in the Subscription Rights now have access to additional opportunities to increase their FlexShopper investment through the upcoming Series A, B, and C rights that expire over the next 30, 60, and 90 days, respectively. The same level of participation in the Series A, B, and C rights would raise a total of approximately $48 million, which we estimate would save approximately $8.5 million in annual dividend and interest expense.”

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Rights Offering to repurchase over 90% of its Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock, and by repaying a portion of its credit facility and other outstanding debt facilities. Any remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions of other companies. The shares subscribed for in the Subscription Rights are expected to be issued to participating stockholders on or about January 15, 2025.

Subordinated Debt Conversion

NRNS Capital Holdings LLC (“NRNS”), the manager of which is the Chairman of FlexShopper’s Board of Directors, has elected to convert $2.5 million of the $10.75 million debt principal outstanding as of September 30, 2024 in the Rights Offering. At September 30, 2024, amounts outstanding under the NRNS Note bear interest at a rate of 19.21%. With the partial conversion of the NRNS subordinated debt the proforma outstanding balance is $8.25 million. FlexShopper estimates it will save approximately $0.5 million in annual interest expense as a result of the conversion.

Mr. Heiser concluded, “I’m excited by the direction FlexShopper is headed, as we increase our market share and execute against our growth oriented strategic plan. Equitizing our balance sheet is a powerful opportunity to expand earnings for our equity shareholders. I look forward to providing additional updates on our success in the coming months.”

FlexShopper encourages holders of the Series A, B, and C Rights to contact their broker or financial advisor’s Corporate Actions Department to participate in these subsequent rights. Rights offering information can be found at https://www.sec.gov and https://investors.flexshopper.com.

The offering was made pursuant to the Corporation’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-282857), which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 29, 2024. The prospectus relating to and describing the terms of the rights offering has been filed with the SEC on December 2, 2024, and is available on the SEC’s website at

www.sec.gov
