MINNEAPOLIS, MN / ACCESSWIRE / December 14, 2022 / Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. ("Mill City") (NASDAQ:MCVT), a specialty short-term finance and non-bank lender, announced today that, in accordance with its previously announced letter of intent regarding a proposed merger transaction with Mustang Funding, LLC dba Mustang Litigation Funding ("Mustang"), it has entered into a $5 million short-term financing arrangement with Mustang in furtherance of the proposed merger. The related short-term note is scheduled to mature on the ninth-month anniversary of the loan.
Mill City Chief Executive Officer, Douglas M. Polinsky, said, "Our announcement on December 6, 2022, outlined a few conditions set forth in the letter of intent, one of which was the consummation of a short-term loan by Mill City to Mustang. This $5 million short-term loan that we closed not only provides Mustang with short-term liquidity, but also marks the first step in what we believe will be an eventual combination transaction between Mill City and Mustang as outlined in our letter of intent and related public announcement. This is an exciting time for Mill City, as we believe that the proposed transaction with Mustang will be transformational for our combined company."
Mustang President, Jimmy Beltz, said, "We are excited about taking the next steps in our company's growth and development, and look forward to working towards our goals with Mill City's team."
