DropCar Announces $6,000,000 Private Placement

Financing Will Support Expansion of Consumer and Enterprise Businesses

Reinforced Balance Sheet Should Augment DropCar’s Ability to Secure New & Large OEM Deals

NEW YORK, March 09, 2018; DropCar, Inc., a provider of app-based automotive logistics and mobility services for consumers and the automotive industry, announced today that it has completed a financing with certain institutional and accredited investors (the “H-4 Investors”) to issue newly designated Series H-4 convertible preferred stock (the “Series H-4 Shares”) and warrants to purchase shares of its common stock in a private placement transaction. The private placement resulted in aggregate gross proceeds to DropCar of approximately $6,000,000.

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement related to the private placement (“SPA”), the Company issued an aggregate of 26,843 Series H-4 Shares and warrants to purchase 2,684,300 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), with an exercise price of $2.60 per share ("Warrants") based upon the closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on March 7, 2018. The purchase price for each Series H-4 Share was $235.50. The Series H-4 Shares are convertible into 2,684,300 shares of Common Stock.

The conversion price for the Series H-4 Shares and the warrant strike price may become subject to anti-dilution protection if approved by the Company’s stockholders. Accordingly, the Company intends to promptly file a proxy statement to seek stockholder approval.

Financing Proceeds Augment DropCar’s Ability to Achieve Upstream Growth DropCar intends to use the net proceeds from the private placement for general corporate purposes, including, to address accelerating demand for DropCar’s B2B services and software, particularly from larger automotive enterprises.

While most of DropCar’s enterprise partnerships have been with luxury-brand car dealers, the Company is garnering increasing attention from major auto-related companies (including, but not limited to, OEMs, Rental, and Car Sharing companies).

"The additional investment from both current and new investors in this financing reflects the confidence they have in our vision and the team’s ability to execute,” stated CEO Spencer Richardson. “Our top priority is to meet the rapidly-accelerating demand for both DropCar’s consumer and enterprise offers, while enhancing the quality and efficiency of the services we provide. This financing will enable us to continue investing in people and technology to do just that.”

Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC acted as the sole placement agent for the offering.
