HARRISON, N.Y., May 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (NYSE MKT: MGT) reported financial results and operational developments for the fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2016. Developments during the quarter and recent weeks subsequent to quarter end are as follows:

MGT entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement to acquire certain technology and assets from D-Vasive Inc., a provider of leading edge anti-spy software. MGT also entered into a consulting agreement with Future Tense Secure Systems Inc., a technology incubator.
In conjunction with the acquisition, MGT announced the proposed appointment of John McAfee as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. McAfee is the visionary pioneer of internet security whose anti-virus company was acquired by Intel for $7.7 billion. He is actively involved in the development of new measures to protect individual freedoms and privacy.
Closing of the acquisition is contingent on customary conditions including approval by MGT's stockholders. The Company plans to issue a Preliminary Proxy Statement shortly.
Adjusted for recent warrant exercises, MGT currently has 23.8 million common shares outstanding, and has cash of $2.0 million plus marketable securities of approximately $500,000. Moreover, MGT carries zero debt or preferred stock.
In addition, the Company expects to continue to monetize certain securities it owns issued by DraftDay Fantasy Sports. Inc., and expects further warrant exercises. These potential sources of cash would add about $1.5 million to the Company's cash reserves. Pro–forma, following the closing of the D-Vasive acquisition, the company will have approximately 50 million shares outstanding, about half of which would be subject to resale restrictions.
Cash used in operations was $376,000 in the first quarter of 2016, down 49% sequentially from the December 2015 quarter, and down 41% from the first quarter of 2015. Having significantly streamlined MGT's operational structure and minimized corporate overhead, the Company continues to exercise discipline with respect to its burn rate.

Financial Results follow; per GAAP requirements, the operations of DraftDay.com are treated as discontinued operations. For further information, please refer to MGT's Form 10-Q filed this morning with the SEC, and available at the Company's corporate website or at www.sec.gov.
