PROVIDES UPDATE ON DISCUSSIONS WITH TRIM CAPITAL
Conshohocken, PA, October 22, 2012 – Skinny Nutritional Corp. (OTCBB: SKNY), (“Skinny” or the “Company”) the maker of Skinny Water® and a leader in the zero-calorie enhanced water category, today announced that it has entered into a Standstill Agreement with Trim Capital LLC, under which they will continue discussions regarding the status of, and obligations under, the Securities Purchase Agreement dated June 28, 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”).
Under the Purchase Agreement, Trim Capital agreed to purchase an aggregate of $9.0 million of equity securities of the Company in a private placement transaction, subject to certain conditions. At the first closing, which was completed on June 28, 2012, the Company sold a $1,000,000 senior secured note (the “Initial Note”) to Trim Capital and subsequently on August 14, 2012, the Company sold an additional initial senior secured note in the aggregate principal amount of $270,000 which was deemed part of the “Initial Note”. The Purchase Agreement provided for a second closing, subject to certain conditions, to be held on or prior to August 28, 2012, which has not occurred.
Following the parties’ discussions subsequent to August 28, 2012, they have agreed to enter into the Standstill Agreement under which they will have a 60-day period to discuss a plan with respect to the obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Initial Note. The agreement terminates the prohibition against the Company soliciting alternative transactions and enables the Company to pursue various strategic and/or financing alternatives in order to address its obligations and to provide for additional working capital. In addition, the Standstill Agreement provides that the parties will refrain from commencing or prosecuting any claims against the other or their respective affiliates during the standstill period.
Michael Salaman, Chief Executive Officer of Skinny Nutritional stated “while we are disappointed with the developments with Trim Capital, we are diligently working on alternative plans to address our Company’s capital requirements. The Standstill Agreement provides additional time to develop a plan to finance the Company and revitalize our marketing and distribution efforts.”
