Abundia Global Impact Group Secures $10M Credit Facility from Largest Shareholder, Strengthening Capital Structure

 

Facility simplifies capital structure with repayment of outstanding convertible note and provides capital access for strategic growth and business /corporate investments

 

HOUSTON, TX – August 17, 2026 – Abundia Global Impact Group, Inc. (NYSE American: AGIG) (“Abundia” or the “Company”), a low-carbon energy solutions company focused on converting biomass and plastics waste into high-value low-carbon fuels, today announces it has secured a new $10 million Credit Facility (the “Facility”) from its, direct and indirect, largest shareholder, Bower Family Holdings, LLC (“BFH”). The Facility provides Abundia with additional balance sheet flexibility to improve its capital structure and provides working capital in support of the Company’s continued execution of its commercialization strategy.

 

The Company will use a portion of the Facility to repay and eliminate the remaining outstanding balance of the Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Convertible Note”), originally due in full to Abundia Financial upon maturity in June 2027. The Company will allocate the remainder of the Facility as needed for working capital and towards an anticipated stock buyback program, pending Board authorization. This proactive step in capital management eliminates the potential for shareholder dilution associated with the Convertible Note, while reshaping Abundia’s capital structure and extending its financial flexibility as the Company continues to advance its waste-to-value commercialization strategy.

 

“We appreciate the ongoing commitment from the Bower Family to grow and develop Abundia and the continued support of the long-term growth prospects of our commercialization strategy,” said Ed Gillespie, Abundia Chief Executive Officer. “This Facility is a deliberate action that fortifies our balance sheet and protects shareholder value, as we prudently manage our long-term financial approach. By proactively mitigating the dilutive characteristics of convertible debt, we have reshaped and improved our capital structure. In parallel, this new Facility permits capital access in tranches for disciplined management of our cost of capital, while also providing the Company with liquidity that allows us to continue to make steady advancements in our commercialization strategy. Importantly, this additional financial flexibility and continued alignment from our largest shareholder, not only provides value for all shareholders, but underscores their belief in the long-term value of our dual growth strategy.”

 

The new Facility has a two-year term and an annual interest of 10%. Abundia will make an initial $6,500,000 drawdown and may draw upon the Facility in tranches based on its capital allocation priorities, which also provides the Company with capital management control of interest expense in correlation with its anticipated utilization of capital. The Facility is effective immediately, and upon repayment of the Convertible Note, the Company will have no remaining obligations due under that Convertible Note.
