Newport Beach, Calif., May 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DPW Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: DPW), a diversified holding company (the “Company,” or “DPW”), today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Digital Power Lending (“DPL”), accessible at www.digitalpowerlending.com, has successfully completed its beta test of its lending platform completing the execution of a series of commercial loans to publicly traded companies. As a licensed California Finance Lender, DPL issued interest-bearing convertible debentures varying in principal from $150,000 to over $285,000 to ensure good performance with a coupon and asset coverage with most loans including warrants issued to DPL to leverage optionality and participation in the success of each client. This small loan portfolio performed well with an average return on investment of over 35%, with each individual loan either paid in full or current. DPL has developed a warrant portfolio from the issuance of millions of warrants, exercisable in three to five years, which could provide additional earnings in the future with minimal equity risk.
DPL utilizes its extensive network of trusted relationships than span over 25 years to identify microcaps that meet our lending requirements and strategy. The Company believes the performance of the beta-test demonstrates that DPL’s lending platform can contribute to the profitability and growth of DPW as DPL has developed an impressive track record on these loans that have contributed to DPW’s and its subsidiaries’ growth capital with attractive terms. DPW anticipates that DPL will expand to become a significant source of revenue and favorably impact DPW’s net income.
