WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- American DG Energy Inc. (NYSE MKT: ADGE, the "Company"), an On-Site Utility provider offering clean electricity, heat, hot water and cooling solutions to hospitality, healthcare, housing and fitness facilities, is pleased to announce the completion of the previously announced debt swap (detailed in a press release from August 10, 2016) and related transactions. The combination of these various transactions resulted in a substantial reduction in convertible debt principal outstanding from $17.7 million at year end 2015 to just $3.4 million - due May 2018.
"Our original guidance was for this series of balance-sheet-improving transactions to take place in the fourth quarter of this year. However, the team here at American DG Energy worked diligently alongside our counterparties and was able to bring the process to completion ahead of schedule – I congratulate and thank them for their efforts," said John Hatsopoulos, the Company's Co-Chief Executive Officer.
To effect the debt reduction, American DG Energy exchanged approximately 9.7 million shares in EuroSite Power Inc. (OTCQX: EUSP) for elimination of a portion of the outstanding 6% convertible debentures due May 2018. A further 5.5 million shares of EuroSite Power were sold for $0.40 per share, with the resulting cash used for pre-payment of an additional portion of convertible debt. As a result of these sales and exchanges, the Company's stake in EuroSite Power was reduced to 2.03% (1,668,060 shares). Along with these transactions, 1.02 million Company warrants with $0.60 strike price expiring October 2017 were also cancelled. The remaining convertible debt has been restructured to carry zero-coupon and retain the original May 2018 maturity.
