Turtle Beach Announces Common Stock Offering

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Turtle Beach Corporation (NASDAQ: HEAR), a leading audio technology company, announced today its intention to offer and sell shares of its common stock in an underwritten public offering (the Offering). The Offering is subject to market, regulatory and other conditions and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the Offering may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the Offering.

Insiders intend to purchase an aggregate of $3.15 million of common stock at the offering price in the Offering and in a separate, concurrent, side-by-side private placement. Closing of the private placement is conditioned on closing of the Offering and customary closing conditions.

Ronald Doornink, Turtle Beach's Chairman of the Board, and Juergen Stark, Turtle Beach's Chief Executive Officer, intend to purchase an aggregate of $650,000 of common stock at the public offering price.

Separately, in a concurrent, side-by-side private placement, the Company's largest stockholder, SG VTB Holdings, LLC (Stripes), has agreed to purchase up to $2.5 million of unregistered shares of the Company's common stock for a per share price equal to the price per share offered to the public in the Offering.

Turtle Beach will use all net proceeds from the Offering and concurrent private placement to pay down amounts outstanding under its working capital line of credit, which is consistent with Turtle Beach's past practice.

The securities intended to be sold in the Offering described above are being offered by the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and became effective on May 16, 2013.
