Mill City Ventures III Shares Resume Trading; Shares Down ~2% Premarket

Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. Shares To Resume At 7:30 a.m. ET

Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. (&quot;Mill City&quot;) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCVT#NASDAQ">MCVT</a>), a specialty short-term finance and non-bank lender, announced today that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent for a merger transaction with Mustang Funding, LLC dba Mustang Litigation Funding (&quot;Mustang&quot;), a Delaware limited liability company owning and operating a Minneapolis-based litigation finance business focusing on the long-term capital needs of law firms, plaintiffs and vendors. Mustang has associated offices in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania and Sarasota, Florida. The letter of intent contemplates Mill City&#39;s acquisition of Mustang through a legal structure that is to be determined in connection with reaching a definitive agreement, but with the owners of Mustang receiving a sufficient number of shares of Mill City common stock such that they would own&nbsp;80%&nbsp;of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Mill City common stock on a post-transaction basis. The letter of intent is non-binding and obligates the parties only to work cooperatively and in good faith for the purpose of negotiating and entering into a definitive agreement governing the transaction.
The letter of intent sets forth certain conditions precedent to any closing of the transaction, and a definitive agreement, if reached, would likely set forth additional customary and negotiated conditions to any such closing. The conditions identified in the letter of intent include the completion of due diligence to the satisfaction of the both parties, a financing-based condition, the consummation of a short-term loan by Mill City to Mustang, the approval of the owners of Mustang and the shareholders of Mill City, together with any related regulatory approvals that may be required, including any required approval by Nasdaq of the continued listing of Mill City common stock after any closing. Any definitive agreement that may be reached is expected to contain other customary and negotiated terms and conditions, and may contain terms and conditions different from those contemplated in the letter of intent.

The market demand for our lending solutions continues to be the main driver our growth, and we intend to remain opportunistic about acquisitions that may accelerate that growth.&quot;

Mill City Ventures III Reports 2022 Q3 Financial Results Investment Income From Lending Operations Increases 47.5% To $1,115,224 Shareholder Equity Increases 39%

Mill City Funds $855,000 Short-Term Insurance Settlement

A wind of change is blowing through the financial industry as more people drift toward nonbank institutions for their borrowing needs.
In 1974, banks&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fdic.gov/analysis/quarterly-banking-profile/fdic-quarterly/2019-vol13-4/fdic-v13n4-3q2019-article1.pdf">controlled</a>&nbsp;the lending industry, holding 62% of the total loans. Almost five decades later, nonbanks&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/nonbank-lenders-are-dominating-the-mortgage-market-11624367460?mod=business_lead_pos6">issued</a>&nbsp;68% of all U.S. mortgages.&nbsp;
A report by the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bis.org/publ/qtrpdf/r_qt2203c.htm#:~:text=Total%20new%20syndicated%20lending%20to,%2C%20left%2Dhand%20panel).">Bank for International Settlements (BIS)</a>&nbsp;indicated that syndicated lending to nonfinancial corporations increased substantially, from less than $300 billion in 1990 to around $4.75 trillion in 2019. Nonbank lending increased from $20 billion to $410 billion per year over the same period.
<h2>Specialty Financing</h2>
These nonbanks&rsquo; ability to meet the need for alternative or specialty financing may be what&rsquo;s driving their increase in lending.
Specialty finance firms make it easier for consumers and small to mid-size businesses to get loans they may find difficult to obtain from traditional banks.
They have easily won the hearts of some customers who were yearning to bypass long bureaucratic processes in favor of more straightforward procedures like completing loan applications and payments digitally with no initial fees and low-interest rates.
Thanks to this financing option, people who do not qualify for a traditional bank loan because of bad credit history are now turning to the alternative lending market for their capital needs.
In this context, companies like Oxford Square Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oxsq#NASDAQ">OXSQ</a>), Mill City Ventures III Ltd. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mcvt#NASDAQ">MCVT</a>), Manhattan Bridge Capital Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/loan#NASDAQ">LOAN</a>), and U.S. Global Investors (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/grow#NASDAQ">GROW</a>) have flourished over recent years.
<h2>Meeting Demand</h2>
As borrowers continue seeking alternative financing sources, <a href="https://www.millcityventures3.com/">Mill City Ventures III Ltd</a>, a short-term nonbank lending and specialty finance company could be answering this demand with its specialty financing solutions
Founded in January 2006,&nbsp;Mill City specialized in providing bespoke short-term lending solutions to public and private companies facing short-term liquidity issues.&nbsp;
Mill City ordinarily provides nonbank lending and specialty finance to companies and individuals with both collateral and a short-term source of liquidity anticipated to be available by the time the loan matures. The principal specialty finance solutions the company provides are high-interest, short-term lending arrangements.
The loans the company provides typically have maturities of nine months or less and involve a pledge of collateral or, in the case of loans made to companies, personal guarantees by the borrower&rsquo;s principals.
Since commencing short-term nonbank lending operations in January 2020, both the average loan size and weighted interest rate have increased year over year.

<h2>Financials</h2>
The company&rsquo;s product offerings could be positively affecting growth, as shown in Mill City&rsquo;s recent&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/22/08/ac28513935/mill-city-ventures-iii-ltd-reports-2022-second-quarter-financial-results">financial results</a>&nbsp;for the three- and six-month periods that ended June 30, which could be good news for investors.
<h3>Q2 2022 Highlights</h3>

<h2>Before Commencing Trading On Nasdaq</h2>
Before it began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (Nasdaq), the company&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/08/28424175/mill-city-ventures-iii-ltd-announces-pricing-of-5-million-public-offering-to-trade-on-nasdaq-capital">revealed</a>&nbsp;the pricing of its underwritten public offering &mdash; 1.25 million shares of common stock at a public offering price of $4 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $5 million before underwriting discounts and commissions, and other company offering expenses.
In addition, the company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 187,500 additional shares of common stock at the offering price, less the underwriting discount.
<h2>SEC Filling</h2>
In its filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Mill City identified several criteria it believes are important guidelines to meet its financial objectives. They include:
<h3>Existing Liquidity Source</h3>
The company noted that because most of its transactions involve short-term maturities, it typically seeks to identify a liquidity source for the borrower to repay them.
Examples of sources of potential liquidity may include accounts receivable, another valuable asset, or a pending payment such as a tax refund, a litigation judgment, or a settlement payment that is reasonably expected to pay out prior to the maturity of the credit provided.
<h3>Collateral Value</h3>
Mill City said it will generally seek to collateralize the obligations owed to the company.&nbsp;
&ldquo;Our ability to identify valuable collateral is a significant factor in our credit analysis and determination of the attractiveness of a potential transaction,&rdquo; the company said.
&ldquo;This analysis will often involve legal counsel, both to assist in the identification of potential collateral assets and to better understand the ease with which a security interest in the collateral may be granted, perfected and, if necessary, foreclosed upon and the relevant jurisdiction(s) involved.&rdquo;
<h3>Experienced And Capable Management</h3>
Mill City indicated that it would seek businesses with an experienced, knowledgeable and capable management teams in transactions involving business borrowers.
<h3>Competitive Position</h3>
In transactions involving business borrowers, the company said it would seek to invest in transactions with businesses that have developed, or appear poised to develop, a strong competitive position within their respective industry sector or niche.
<h3>Cash Flow</h3>
Finally, in transactions involving business borrowers, Mill City said it would seek to invest in profitable or nearly profitable businesses on an operating cash-flow basis. It will do this principally so that the business&rsquo;s operating cash flow may serve as another source of liquidity from which it may ultimately be repaid.

Why Senti Biosciences Shares Jumped Over 50%; Here Are 79 Biggest Movers From Yesterday

Cultivating a culture of saving or investing can help guarantee a comfortable financial future.
As simple as it may sound, however, stashing away money or an asset for future profit can be a daunting habit to attain because it usually requires some sacrifice.
As the global economy continues to suffer due to a series of predicaments such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war and high inflation, investing could help cushion shocks as the economic crisis continues.
<h2>Types Of Investments</h2>
For anyone keen on investing, it might be prudent first to consult a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.millcityventures3.com/">financial advisor</a>&nbsp;to guide and help you figure out which investment type can help meet your financial goals.
The advisor may introduce you to popular investment options such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, index funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and options.
You can also borrow to invest over the long term &mdash; through margin loans for shares or investment property loans. A margin loan lets you borrow money to invest in shares, ETFs and managed funds.
When it comes to where you could go for such loans, a few names come up &mdash; like Manhattan Bridge Capital Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/loan#NASDAQ">LOAN</a>), Oxford Square Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oxsq#NASDAQ">OXSQ</a>), U.S. Global Investors Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/grow#NASDAQ">GROW</a>) and Mill City Ventures III Ltd. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mcvt#NASDAQ">MCVT</a>).
<h2>A Different Kind Of Lender?</h2>
Unlike some other players in the industry, Mill City specializes in investments in debt and equity securities of public and private companies looking to fund operations, whether for starting up, acquiring another company or fuelling growth.
Founded in January 2006, the company reports that it primarily focuses on investing in, lending to and making managerial assistance available to privately held and publicly traded companies.
Over the years, Mill City notes that it has provided non-bank lending and specialty finance to companies and individuals on both a secured and unsecured basis. The primary specialty finance solutions the company offers are high-interest, short-term lending arrangements.
Designed for individuals, business owners, real estate owners, house redevelopers and small business owners, the company&rsquo;s lending arrangements occasionally involve the company obtaining collateral as security for the borrower&rsquo;s repayment of funds.
The loans the company provides typically have maturities ranging from nine to 12 months and may involve a pledge of collateral or, in the case of loans made to companies, personal guarantees by the borrower&rsquo;s principals.
<h2>Nature Of Lending Operations</h2>
<ul>
<li>Non-bank lending and specialty finance</li>
<li>Asset-backed loans</li>
<li>Settled claim purchases</li>
<li>Tax anticipation loans</li>
<li>Real estate bridge loans</li>
<li>Litigation finance</li>
<li>Public market companies</li>
<li>Title loans</li>
<li>Opportunistic acquisitions</li>
<li>Mortgages</li>
</ul>
Since commencing non-bank lending operations in January 2020, its average loan size and weighted rate trajectory have increased year over year. This change resulted from the company&rsquo;s focus on making higher-dollar loans that usually have additional features such as the quality of the borrower and collateral levels.
<h2>Key Investment Considerations</h2>
<ul>
<li>Management has experience in entrepreneurial ventures and finance.</li>
<li>The company is not subject to many of the regulatory limitations that govern other traditional lenders or institutional competitors.</li>
<li>Mill City runs on lean operating costs, which allows for greater income statement leverage.</li>
<li>Management continually focuses on moving the blended portfolio returns up and to the right in the context of proper risk mitigation.</li>
<li>The company takes advantage of inorganic growth opportunities in the market through complementary and accretive acquisitions.</li>
</ul>
For a bespoke lender that provides custom and tailored lending to meet a customer&rsquo;s needs, Mill City could have an advantage over competitors, with a significant driver being that it is not subject to many of the regulatory limitations that govern traditional lenders or institutional competitors.
