Cyren Ltd

MCLEAN, VA / ACCESSWIRE / October 4, 2019 / Cyren (NASDAQ:CYRN) (the "Company") announced today that it has commenced the previously announced rights offering to raise gross proceeds of approximately $12.5 million (the "Rights Offering"). Under the terms of the Rights Offering, the holders of the Company's ordinary shares as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 25, 2019, the record date for the Rights Offering, will receive one subscription right (a "Right") for every 7.55 ordinary shares held, as more fully described in the prospectus supplement, filed today. Each Right will entitle a holder to purchase one ordinary share at a subscription price of $1.73 per share. A maximum of 7,240,808 ordinary shares will be issued pursuant to the Rights Offering, representing approximately 13.2% of the currently issued and outstanding ordinary shares. No fractional Rights will be issued in the Rights Offering; any fractional Rights will be rounded down to the nearest whole Right. The Rights Offering also includes an over-subscription right which entitles all shareholders to purchase additional ordinary shares that remain unsubscribed for at the expiration of the Rights Offering. The Company expects to use the proceeds from the Rights Offering for general working capital purposes.

The Company's majority shareholder, WP XII Investments B.V., an entity controlled by funds affiliated with Warburg Pincus, LLC ("Warburg Pincus") has provided a commitment letter to the Company in which it committed to subscribe for ordinary shares for an aggregate amount of at least $8,000,000 of ordinary shares pursuant to its basic subscription rights and over-subscription rights. Warburg Pincus will not receive any fee in connection with its commitment.

The Rights Offering is expected to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 4, 2019. The Company reserves the right to cancel, terminate, extend or amend the Rights Offering at any time prior to its expiration. The Company has engaged D.F.
