"In the second quarter the Company made significant progress implementing a multi-pronged strategy that has transformed MGT Capital Investments into the innovative cybersecurity company that we envisioned. With the broad set of differing technologies supporting the foundation of today's society, it is important that the cybersecurity protecting these technologies be just as diverse and forward thinking. This concept is the heart of the Company as we focus on developing cybersecurity technologies that protect the rapidly expanding Internet of Things, the Cloud, and mobile computing platforms," said John McAfee, the Company's proposed Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"The upcoming shareholder vote on September 8^th will allow the Company to move forward on several of the proposed events, including acquiring technologies from D-Vasive and Demonsaw, and the rebranding of the Company to 'John McAfee Global Technologies, Inc.' The details of these proposals are provided in the Definitive Proxy Statement filed by the Company with the SEC yesterday. In the meantime, the Company and its targeted acquisitions are moving ahead with the development and launch of several products."

Financial Highlights for the second quarter of 2016
Cash used in operations was $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2016, an increase of $1.7 million, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The increase was primarily driven by legal and professional fees incurred in connection with the proposed D-Vasive acquisition. Such costs are expected to be materially lower in the current quarter as well as next quarter.

Cash and cash equivalents were $1.1 million as of June 30, 2016, compared with $0.3 million as of December 31, 2015. Post quarter-end, the Company completed an offering of unsecured promissory notes with net proceeds of $2.1 million. As of August 15, 2016, the Company has $2.9 million in cash plus $1.7 million in marketable securities.
