The IT service management business said in a press release today that it had raised $6 million in new financing. Raising the money required Helios and Matheson Analytics to sell roughly 60,000 new shares of preferred stock “Helios’ Series B Preferred Stock,” which the company said are “convertible to 1,000,020,000 shares of its common stock.”
The move is an extension of previous moves in which the business has sold large amounts of new stocks in order cover hundreds of millions in losses linked to MoviePass, which went under a few months ago, but the company has been attempting to revive in recent weeks.
