Brightlane to Receive up to $26,000,000 via Sale and Purchase Agreement
HOUSTON, TX, July 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Brightlane Corp. (OTCMKTS: BTLN), together with Real Capital International Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Real Capital”) and AFM Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“AFM”), has announced, subject to the sale and purchase agreement dated July 9, 2019, the acquisition of 612 miles of optical fiber cable specifically designed for long-haul broadband infrastructure in developing countries. Under the Company’s specialty financing offering, Real Capital will act as the agent to the international telecommunication and governmental marketplace to facilitate the sale of the cable pursuant to this agreement.
"This agreement aligns with our strategy of expanding our specialty financing capabilities with leaders in new international markets and technology fields," stated Steve Helm, Chief Executive Officer of Brightlane Corp. Mr. Helm added, “This is a unique opportunity with our partners as the global demand for fiber optic deployment continues to grow.”
With a value of $10 per foot, this agreement places the value of the optical fiber cable at approximately $32,000,000. Brightlane Corp. and AFM will be purchasing the cable for $6,000,000 (which Real Capital can choose to convert the $6,000,000 into Brightlane Corp. common shares at a purchase price of $0.50 per share) and by issuing 40,000,000 Brightlane Corp. common shares. It is estimated that the total sale of the cable will generate between $21,000,000 and $26,000,000 in operating capital for Brightlane Corp. The transaction will result in the issuance of Brightlane Corp.’s common shares at an effective purchase price of $0.52 to $0.57 per share issued to Real Capital. The Brightlane Corp. common shares and the cable will be placed in escrow until the sale is complete, allowing the shares and cable to be returned and the cash consideration to be reduced on a pro-rata basis should Real Capital be unable to sell the entire amount of cable at or above the expected price.
“Brightlane has been a great partner in this endeavor and we believe this agreement will open up new opportunities for both organizations,” stated Guglielmo La Bella of Real Capital. “Their quick understanding of the telecom sector coupled with our deep relations in the aggressive international demand for connectivity of this kind gives us a unique market differentiation.”
In the last decade, optical fiber cable has continued to be the preferred transmission medium catering to cloud-based applications, audio-video services, and Video-on-Demand services because of its scalability, security, and ability to handle the vast amount of backhaul traffic being generated.
