Institutional growth capital fuels the development of a scalable entertainment platform through IP ownership, celebrity engagements, global joint ventures, and long-term revenue monetizationSINGAPORE, July 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FAST TRACK GROUP (NASDAQ: FTRK) ("Fast Track" or the "Company"), a leading entertainment-focused event management and celebrity agency company, announced the successful closing of a senior secured convertible note financing transaction with a U.S. institutional investor. The gross proceeds from the note financing, before deducting fees and expenses, was $1.5 million. In addition, the Company has put in place a $20 million equity line of credit (“ELOC”) with an affiliate of the same investor. Fast Track intends to deploy the net proceeds of the convertible note primarily towards advancing and executing its growing pipeline of high-conviction initiatives capable of generating attractive long-term returns. Specifically, these initiatives include the pursuit of strategic partnerships and joint ventures, artist and intellectual property (“IP”) partnerships, digital content and media development, audience growth initiatives, entertainment platform expansion, celebrity-brand activation and engagement opportunities, and other opportunities designed to strengthen the Company’s ownership and participation across the entertainment value chain. As part of its strategic evolution, Fast Track is increasingly focused on expanding beyond traditional agencies and project-based engagements toward initiatives that incorporate IP ownership, long-term content monetization, and recurring revenue streams. Timely access to flexible financing is critical to enable efficient execution, secure strategic opportunities, and maintain momentum across these initiatives. These projects require upfront capital investments ahead of revenue realization, with value creation expected to accrue over time through execution, scale, and operational deployment. Fast Track CEO Harris Lim stated: “Over the past year, we have established a strong foundation through our work across the entertainment ecosystem, positioning the Company to pursue its next phase of growth focused on artist and IP opportunities, strategic content and entertainment initiatives, and digital audience development platforms. To manifest these plans, we’ve identified a number of compelling business activities across our pipeline that we believe are highly strategic and economically attractive but also require upfront capital investment to begin. This financing strengthens our balance sheet and provides the flexibility needed to move decisively. With a handful of partnerships lined up for the next several quarters, we remain focused and excited to begin delivering on these opportunities.” The convertible note structure was selected to balance near-term capital needs with longer-term shareholder considerations. The structure allows the Company to access growth capital without immediately issuing equity at a price that management believes does not fully reflect the intrinsic value of its business and pipeline opportunities. Z2 Capital LLC, a division of Alexander Capital, L.P., acted as the sole placement agent for the offering.
