Tingo Group (NASDAQ: TIO), a profitable and fast-growing fintech, agrifintech and food company, has entered into a new forbearance agreement with the holder of its Series B preferred stock. According to the announcement, the new agreement extends the redemption period until at least Dec. 31, 2023, and the company noted that it expects the conversion of Series B preferred stock to occur within the extended forbearance period. The announcement noted that the extension was necessary because of the time required to complete detailed investigations into the Hindenburg Research allegations. That investigation was concluded on Aug. 30, 2023. “In my capacity as the controlling stockholder in Agri Fintech Holdings Inc., the sole holder of the company’s Series B preferred stock, I am fully committed to completing the conversion of the Series B preferred stock into common stock,” said Tingo Group interim co-CEO Dozy Mmobuosi in the press release. “Having concluded the investigation into the short-seller allegations on August 30, 2023, and with the benefit of a U.S. top 10 global law firm as counsel, we aim to achieve NASDAQ change of control approval and stockholder approval as soon as possible, at which time I look forward completing the conversion of the Series B preferred stock into common stock, thereby completing the final stage of the merger. Turning to the separate matter of our recently announced quarterly dividend, the requisite conversion of Naira into U.S. dollars, to comply with due process, is continuing to progress well with the relevant external parties, and we hope to announce definitive news on this and set a record date in the very near future.”
