Qumu Receives $9.7 Million in Cash from Sale of BriefCam Stock

Company will use funds to pay down 60% of current debt with no pre-payment penalty

Qumu QUMU, the leading provider of best-in-class video technology for the enterprise, received approximately $9,678,000 in cash on July 6^th of 2018 from the sale of its stake in BriefCam Ltd., a provider of security and intelligence video review software recently acquired by Canon Inc. Today, Qumu announced it will use $6.5 million of the proceeds to pay down its current debt facility with ESW Capital, LLC (through its ESW Holdings, Inc. subsidiary), with no pre-payment penalty. The principal payment will reduce annualized interest expense by approximately $642,000 per year, excluding amortization of debt issuance costs.

"The sale of our BriefCam investment has provided Qumu with an excellent return," said Vern Hanzlik, President and CEO of Qumu. "Qumu has a stronger balance sheet with significantly reduced debt and the working capital to invest in our growth. We look forward to putting these funds to work as our strategy continues to build momentum."

The company expects to incur approximately $40,000 in federal and state taxes on the gain, resulting in estimated net proceeds of approximately $9,638,000. On or before August 1, 2018, Qumu will pay down the principal balance of its current debt facility by 60% or $6 million, leaving $4.0 million remaining. The Company will also pay $500,000 in accrued interest on the principal amount repaid. Immediately following the payment, Qumu will have approximately $8 million in working capital on its balance sheet. And as noted previously, the company will incur no penalties for this or future pre-payments with proceeds from the BriefCam sale, as part of its loan agreement with ESW.
