Waitr Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: WTRH) ("Waitr" or the "Company"), a leader in on-demand food ordering and delivery, today announced that, as of July 10, 2020, it completed its previously announced at-the-market ("ATM") common equity offering program. The Company issued an aggregate of 23,698,720 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $48.3 million during the period of March 20, 2020 through July 10, 2020.

"With the completion of our ATM equity offering and the previously announced conversion of a portion of our outstanding debt, we benefit from a strong and flexible balance sheet," said Carl Grimstad, Chairman and CEO of Waitr. "As of July 14, 2020, our cash-on-hand was approximately $79 million, which we expect to be further reinforced by the continued momentum and meaningful profitability in our business."

The Company plans to utilize $10.5 million of the proceeds from the ATM to prepay a portion of its senior secured term loan, with the balance used to fund operational and growth initiatives and for general corporate purposes.

The Company also announced that the lenders under the Company's senior secured term loan and under its convertible notes have agreed that, upon the prepayment of $10.5 million of the term loan, the interest rate under each of the term loan and the convertible notes will be reduced by 200 basis points for a one-year period, so that the term loan interest rate will be 5.125% per annum and the convertible notes interest rate will be 4.0% per annum during such period, and the maturity of each of the term loan and the convertible notes will be extended by one year to November 15, 2023.
