Reserve Funding Agreement - Overview (non-US*) |
An overview of the Reserve Funding Agreement
*Note: RF Global does not provide Reserve Funding Agreements to companies publicly listed in the U.S. and U.S. companies listed on a foreign exchange.
Our Reserve Funding Agreement (“RFA”) is a proprietary funding structure we use to provide publicly listed companies with capital for growth, acquisitions, purchasing of machinery or equipment, marketing and general working capital. The RFA is an equity line funding structure that allows a public company to raise additional capital by selling its shares without making a formal offering of its securities to the market. Pursuant to the terms of the RFA, RF Global Holdings LLC (“RF Global”), as the investor, agrees to privately purchase up to a maximum number of the company’s shares, usually over a three year period. The shares are sold by the company to the investor at a small discount. The percentage discount is determined by the size and financial strength of the company, in addition to several other factors.
On each agreed upon closing date, RF Global purchases the company’s shares at a discount to the market price. The RFA structure used by RF Global gives a company the flexibility and control they need by giving the company management the discretion to decide when to draw down funding and sell its shares. Since the timing of sales is under the control of the company, it can request funding by selling its shares at a time when it believes its share price and trading volume are strong. The amount the company is able to draw down upon each request is subject to the volume and trading of its shares set forth in a formula that the company and investor agree upon in advance.
Many people view equity lines as a favorable funding structure and a good alternative to a private placement or secondary offering. Under the RFA structure, a company receives a firm commitment from RF Global to provide an agreed funding amount.
The company has the right, but not the obligation, to draw down on the RFA. Alternatively, in a typical private placement financing, the company might not raise enough capital in a first round funding and will continuously need to do subsequent rounds. Each subsequent round has its own set of costs and expenses and there is no guaranty the funding will be raised when it is needed. The equity line is a more flexible financing structure compared to a debt or convertible structure in which the investor controls conversion and sales of the shares into the market.
Benefits of equity line funding:
Control

Controlled Share Issuance
Shares are issued as the Company determines to prevent uncertainty regarding dilution.
A Company can raise more capital using fewer shares over a period of price strength.
