Skylight Health (TSXV: SLHG) is evidently running out of funding options that the market will accept. The firm this morning announced that it intends to offer what is being referred to as Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares to the market in its latest financing.
The shares are being offered after the company “evaluated multiple leverage options that balance a healthy debt-to-equity ratio, while ensuring shareholder positions remain non-diluted.” The proposed shares are to offer dividends of 9.25%, payable monthly, that are redeemable by the company at a price of US$25.00 per share at the firms option any time on or after three years from closing.
With no market existing for the shares currently, the firm intends to list them on the Nasdaq under the symbol “SLHGP,” once approved by the regulator.

Year to date, the firm has been operationally cash flow negative to the tune of $4.3 million, with the company being supported by repeated financings.
