Kind of a meh move. I mean he did loan the company $2 million interest free, but to force repayment when shares are this low is like a major interest repayment plus some.
They did say it improves the company's liquidity but the money was owed to Washer, not to some third party that is going to call the loan. So either that is hogwash or they are looking at other credit facilities and having $2 million in short-term debt on the books was causing issues. It is interesting that rather than wipe out all of the $2 million, they wiped out $1.5 million with this share issuance. That suggests to me that they might have been told they need to wipe out that much to access other credit.
This could be in response to an actual need for credit facilities or as a backup plan in case the Fed raises rates and gold tumbles (very possible) later this week.
