In addition, we continued to focus on building out DeepIntent’s product offerings and sales pipeline, particularly in the pharma vertical. Finally, last week, with payments of $4.4 million, we were able to fully satisfy what had been $18.5 million of future obligations, which better positions us as we move to the next steps in our plan to refinance our term and revolving loans” said Marv Tseu, Chief Executive Officer of Propel Media.
