Gopher Protocol Announces Follow-On Financing with Existing Investor

ATLANTA, GA, April 16, 2018 -- Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTC: GOPH) ("Gopher" and the "Company"), a company specializing in the creation of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence enabled mobile technologies, announced a closing of the sale of a convertible debenture containing a fixed conversion price, which generated $750,000 in net proceeds.  The details on the funding can be found in the Company’s Form 8-K – https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1471781/000161577418002602/0001615774-18-002602-index.htm

As previously disclosed, under the terms of the prior financing, Bellridge Capital. LP (“Bellridge”) was entitled to invest an additional $750,000 in consideration of a debenture and common stock purchase warrant.   On April 9, 2018, Bellridge exercised this right to invest additional capital into the Company.   

Since the beginning of 2018, Bellridge has invested $1,500,000 into the Company in consideration of a fixed price convertible debenture and related common stock purchase warrants.  Separately, during 2018, an additional $500,000 equity investment was funded by a previous investor. As of today, other than the convertible debentures held by Bellridge, the Company does not have other convertible debt outstanding. 

The financing is part of the Company’s decision not to take convertible financing without a fixed conversion price and create a balance sheet that gives investors clarity regarding the number of shares outstanding and potential dilution caused by convertible debenture financing.

“This financing fits into our strategy of moving away from variable priced convertible securities with the goal of providing our investors clarity regarding our capital structure. Our management team believes this financing is a very positive signal; two existing investors have chosen to re-invest. One transitioned from being a lender to an equity investor and the other acquired a fixed conversion debenture,” stated Greg Bauer, CEO.
