Ottawa-based Martello Technologies (TSX-V:MTLO) dipped into the well of public market funding this past week, looking to raise more money to finance its M&A strategy.
The firm, which helps companies manage and troubleshoot communication services amid increasing bandwidth demands, raised $4.6 million last week in an overnight marketed public offering – a financing strategy that reduces attempts by investors to short a company’s stock by conducting the raise after markets close for the day.
Martello said it was raising the extra cash to fund its mergers and acquisitions, boost research and development and sales activities and for general corporate purposes.
