DecisionPoint Systems Announces Completion Of $3.8 Million Convertible Preferred Stock Financing
IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- DecisionPoint™ Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: DPSI), a leading provider and integrator of Enterprise Mobility, Wireless Applications and RFID solutions, announced that it has raised $3.83 million in gross proceeds from institutional and accredited investors through a private placement of 383,000 shares of 10 percent Series E convertible preferred stock, with a stated value of $10.00 per share. Each share of preferred stock may be converted into common stock at any time at the option of the holder. The current conversion price is $0.50 per common share, which means that each share of preferred stock may be converted into 20 shares of common stock. The conversion price is subject to adjustment in the event that additional shares of capital stock are issued at a price per share of less than $0.50 (subject to certain carve-outs and other adjustments). After deducting the placement agent's commission, the company received net proceeds of approximately $3.5 million.
The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
As part of this transaction, Mr. Robert Schroeder, Vice President Investment Banking of Taglich Brothers, will join the Company's Board of Directors.

About Taglich Brothers
Founded in 1991, Taglich Brothers, Inc. is a full service brokerage firm specializing in the microcap segment of the market for publicly traded securities. The firm has selected this unique niche for two reasons. First and foremost, the small cap market has historically outperformed the large cap market over the past 75 years. Second, this area of the market is virtually ignored by the larger institutions and other Wall Street firms because they cannot invest enough capital in each situation to justify the expense of investigating these companies.
