Marrone Bio’s Inventory Line of Credit Increased to Support Sales and Manufacturing Growth
RALEIGH, N.C., Jan. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ: MBII) has expanded its existing inventory line of credit to support the company’s expectations for growth in sales and manufacturing capacity. Under an amended agreement with LSQ Funding Group, L.C., the company can access a maximum of $4.5 million to finance inventory needs, up from $3 million under a prior agreement.
“The increase in the line of credit for inventory provides us with greater flexibility to support the company’s commercial expansion in the near future,” said Chief Executive Officer Kevin Helash. “This is particularly critical as we enter the peak selling season in our North American markets to ensure we have the ability to provide customers with ready access to our products when they need them.”
