American Locker Group Announces New Contract and Preferred Stock Issuance

DFW AIRPORT, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

American Locker Group Incorporated ALGI, a recognized leader in secure storage solutions, has previously reported that it has been awarded an exclusive three-year contract to produce parcel delivery lockers for the largest provider of parcel and mail delivery services in the United States. The Company is pleased to announce that it has received product approval and will commence production immediately. This contract calls for initial volume of $1.7 million of product to be delivered during the first 90 days after product approval.

In conjunction with this approval, the Company has raised $200,000 in working capital to support this contract through the sale of 40,000 shares of a new class of Series D Preferred Stock. Purchasers of this preferred stock are accredited investors who management determined could act quickly to provide the necessary working capital to the Company, and include existing stockholders of the Company, three of whom are also directors.

Each share of preferred stock is convertible into five shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per common share, accrues dividends at the rate of 6% and may be redeemed at the Company's option. Upon conversion of the preferred stock, holders shall also be entitled to purchase shares of common stock held by the Company in the treasury.

“After many years we are pleased to be working once again with this very important strategic customer. We are excited to be starting this contract after many months of product development and testing,” said Anthony Johnston, President, American Locker. “There are other strategic opportunities like this on the horizon and to ensure we can capture these opportunities we have determined, given the current situation, that we must embark on a new path to recapitalize the Company in a structure that is appropriate for a company of our size. We will be aggressively looking for opportunities in the coming months to bring new and replacement capital into the Company and reduce our public reporting costs.”

He added, “We are fortunate that we have a group of committed stockholders who were willing to step-up and provide financial support to the Company at this critical time. Funds from their purchase of shares of Series D Preferred Stock are an essential component of the Company's working capital and will enable the Company to meet the needs of this new and important contract.”
