HOUSTON, May 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — C-Bond Systems (the “Company” or “C-Bond”) (OTC: CBNT), a nanotechnology solutions company, today announced that it has sold its C-Bond nanoShield™ windshield strengthener and related automotive assets for more than $4 million. The Company has used part of the proceeds to pay off a substantial amount of its debt/convertible note obligations and will use the remaining capital to grow its Patriot Glass Solutions division.
C-Bond’s Patriot Glass Solutions, which protects schools, businesses, hospitals, and other organizations with its security and ballistic window films, generated the majority of the Company’s revenue in 2021 and 2022.
“Given the growing opportunity with school safety initiatives and the evolving state mandates for security window film at schools, Patriot Glass Solutions is well positioned to grow the use of its best-of-breed C-Bond Secure and C-Bond BRS (bullet-resistant system) in Texas and nationwide,” stated Scott R. Silverman, the Company’s Chairman and CEO. “The working capital from this transaction will allow us to grow Patriot Glass Solutions faster and better. In addition, strengthening our balance sheet provides a significant benefit to the Company to prepare for future expansion.”
Patriot Glass Solutions offers two security film products: C-Bond Secure, which includes a liquid glass strengthening primer/window film mounting solution used in conjunction with security film to deter forced entry, and C-Bond BRS, a ballistic-resistant film system that includes C-Bond’s patented glass strengthening technology and security film to help stop bullets from penetrating glass. C-Bond’s patented technology and third-party certifications for its C-Bond BRS (ballistic-resistant film system) meet National Institute of Justice Level I, Level IIA, Level II, and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 752 ballistic-resistant protection standards.
Earlier this year the Company announced that the Texas Education Agency (“TEA”) put forth a proposal requiring the installation of security window film, fencing, or walls at all Texas schools. More information about the TEA’s proposal can be found in this article in Window Film Magazine. Further, in October 2022, the State of Texas Legislative Budget Board approved $400 million in funding to help school districts replace or improve windows, doors, fencing, and other safety measures.
