CAMPBELL, CA — (Marketwired) — 01/07/16 — Inventergy Global, Inc., a Silicon Valley intellectual property company, (NASDAQ: INVT) (“Inventergy” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that it has reached an agreement with one of its patent partners to amend the parties– patent purchase agreement. Under the amended agreement, the guaranteed minimum payments, and related accrued interest thereon, owed by the Company to the third party have been eliminated. Future payments to this third party will be based exclusively on, and are fully contingent on, future patent monetization transactions such as licensing and sales agreements.
As a result of the amendment, the Company–s liabilities have been reduced by $17.3 million, including the elimination of $1.0 million of accrued interest expense, resulting in a significantly strengthened balance sheet. In addition, by eliminating these liabilities, the company avoids future interest expense in the amount of $120,000 per month. The above amounts are calculated as of December 31, 2015. Final year-end amounts are expected to be reported in late March 2016.
Joe Beyers, Chairman and CEO of Inventergy, said, “This amendment puts Inventergy in a stronger financial position and better enables us to execute our business strategy of obtaining value for our rich intellectual property portfolio. With our balance sheet now strengthened and a significant amount of interest expense avoided going forward, the positive results we anticipate from our future monetization efforts we believe should improve our stockholders– equity in a more meaningful way. We are very grateful to our patent partner for their support and confidence in our patent monetization program and look forward to a very exciting year ahead.”
