Insights

Financial Analyst

The $10 million rights offering and backstop arrangement represents a important financing move for RumbleOn. The successful subscription of 2,043,011 shares at $4.18 per share, coupled with Stone House Capital's commitment to purchase the remaining 349,333 shares, ensures full funding. The expected $9 million net proceeds will primarily address the upcoming 6.75% convertible notes due January 2025 and satisfy Oaktree credit agreement requirements.

The transaction structure, combining a rights offering with a backstop guarantee, demonstrates strategic financial planning while protecting existing shareholder interests. The fully subscribed offering provides essential liquidity without relying solely on external investors. However, the fact that the company needed this financing highlights ongoing capital structure challenges that investors should monitor closely.

IRVING, Texas, Dec. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- RumbleOn, Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBL) (the "Company," "RumbleOn," "we," "us," or "our") today announced the preliminary results of its $10.0 million fully backstopped registered equity rights offering (the "Rights Offering") for shares of the Company's Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Class B common stock"). The subscription period for the Rights Offering expired at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on December 12, 2024 (the "Expiration Time"). The Rights Offering resulted in subscriptions to purchase 2,043,011 shares of Class B common stock at a price of $4.18 per share (the "Subscription Price"). The shares of Class B common stock subscribed for are expected to be issued to participating stockholders on or about December 17, 2024.

As previously disclosed, pursuant to the Support and Standby Purchase Agreement, dated November 26, 2024, Stone House Capital Management, LLC, which is a holder of Class B common stock, and is managed by Mark Cohen, a member of the board of directors (the "Board") of the Company (together with its affiliates, the "Standby Purchaser"), agreed to purchase from the Company in a private placement (the "Backstop Private Placement") any shares of Class B common stock included in the Rights Offering that are not subscribed for and purchased by holders of the Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Class A common stock", together with the Class B common stock, the "common stock") or holders of the Class B common stock (together, "Eligible Stockholders"), in each case as of the close of business on November 25, 2024, for the same per share Subscription Price payable by the Eligible Stockholders electing to exercise their subscription rights in the Rights Offering. Because the Rights Offering was not fully subscribed, based on the preliminary results, the Standby Purchaser is expected to purchase 349,333 shares of Class B common stock at the Subscription Price in the Backstop Private Placement.

The Backstop Private Placement is expected to close on December 19, 2024. 

The Company estimates the net proceeds of the Rights Offering and the Backstop Private Placement to be approximately $9.0 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Rights Offering and Backstop Private Placement for general corporate purposes which may include repayment of the Company's convertible senior 6.75% promissory notes due January 1, 2025. The proceeds raised will also satisfy, in part, the additional capital financing obligations of the Company pursuant to a recent amendment to the Company's credit agreement with Oaktree.

The results of the Rights Offering are preliminary and subject to change pending finalization of subscription procedures by the subscription agent. The Company expects to file a Current Report on Form 8-K on or about December 17, 2024 that will include the final results of the Rights Offering.

Following the completion of the Rights Offering and the Backstop Private Placement, the Company expects to have approximately 37,713,298 shares of its Class B common stock outstanding.
