Creatd To Receive $6M In Cash, $6M In Convertible Preferred Stock

As part of the transaction, Creatd will receive around $6 million in cash and roughly $6 million in convertible preferred stock of VTAK. The two companies will collaborate on developing an aviation and Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) logistics platform.

The deal makes Creatd a significant shareholder in VTAK, while it continues to pursue its plan to secure a national exchange listing later this year.

Catheter Precision had initially acquired a 20% stake in Flyte in February, stating that the investment provides immediate exposure to the fast-growing private aviation sector and supports an asset-backed, scalable fleet expansion model.

Fundraising Worth Around $1.9 Million

Earlier this month, Catheter Precision signed a securities purchase agreement with investors to raise about $1.9 million through a private placement of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, according to an SEC filing.

Investors also agreed to purchase additional Series C-2 and Series C-3 convertible preferred shares. The company plans to use the proceeds for working capital, restructuring its legacy catheter business, resolving liabilities, and reducing operating expenses.

This came after the company completed a strategic financing deal with institutional investors worth up to $36.5 million last month.
