Today, Hunt purchased the remaining 125,000 common shares of its share purchase obligation at $34.00 per share, generating $4,250,000 of proceeds for the Company. In addition, with the completion of the second share purchase by Hunt, the Company approved the election of Mr. Hunt to the Board effective immediately. Mr. Hunt was previously nominated as an observer to the Board on January 8, 2018 in connection with the execution of the MTA.
Michael Falcone, MMA Capital's Chief Executive Officer stated, "Today represents another in the series of events set in motion in January where we sought to generate shareholder value through simplifying our balance sheet, reducing overhead, and increasing transparency, while preserving our net operating losses and our attractively priced long-term subordinate debt. With the second share purchase completed Hunt owns greater than 4% of the shares outstanding, creating significant alignment with the shareholders as we move forward in the coming years. In addition, we officially welcome Chris Hunt to full voting status with the Board, solidifying access to the breadth of investment and operational experience that he and the Hunt team bring to the Company."
