DALLAS, TX and MUMBAI, INDIA / ACCESSWIRE / August 22, 2018 / MoneyOnMobile, Inc.(OTCQB: MOMT) announces that it is terminating its rights offering and returning funds to investors. MoneyOnMobile's escrow agent received gross proceeds and subscriptions of $7,417,818 into escrow from 218 investors.
Upon closing of the rights offering, the Company would have issued to these investors 1,236,303 shares of its common stock. The closing of the rights offering was subject to MoneyOnMobile's Common stock being successfully listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market Exchange. As of July 17, 2018, MoneyOnMobile had cleared all the requirements for the listing on Nasdaq except for the filing of its annual audited 10-K report. At this time MoneyOnMobile does not believe that periodic report can be completed in a timely manner due to Indian shareholders challenging MoneyOnMobile's control of its subsidiary My Mobile Payments Limited (MMPL).
Management has learned of numerous unauthorized, illegal actions by MMPL's Board of Directors which violate various investment and shareholder agreements in place. We are pursuing extensive legal actions to reverse such actions. We believe our legal case is strong and should prevail, however, there is no specific time frame for an ultimate conclusion. Therefore, MoneyOnMobile is terminating its rights offering and returning the funds to investors."We could no longer in good faith hold investor subscriptions in escrow, without knowing when the end to this offering would come. We are obviously disappointed with this outcome and shocked that our local partners would mount this challenge in direct violation of our investment agreements, which they have confirmed many times as part of our annual audit process." said Harold Montgomery, chief executive officer and chairman.
