PLANO, Texas, Jan. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ViewCast Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media over enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, today announced that it had entered into subscription agreements with six private investors, including one member of the ViewCast Board of Directors, for the purchase of an aggregate of 2,950,847 shares of ViewCast common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $745,000.  The purchase price of common stock was $0.2525 per share, which was the weighted average closing price for the ten trading days immediately prior to December 30, 2010.

"Having jumpstarted revenue growth at the end of 2009 and returned to profitability in the 2010 third quarter, we feel that it is time to accelerate some of the commercial programs we feel will have the biggest impact on sales and shareholder value in 2011," said ViewCast President and CEO Dave Stoner. "Though this financing is small in size, our goal was to raise enough to kickoff these programs without significant impact to the balance sheet or dilution to shareholders.  Creating shareholder value is our top priority and we are confident that we have the team in place and the market dynamic to make that happen this year."

David W. Brandenburg, a Director at ViewCast and one of the investors in the financing, said, "The Company has demonstrated its ability to weather an economic storm and to produce improved results while consistently innovating.  The additional sales and marketing initiatives that are kicking off this year are very promising.  I am pleased to be able to participate in funding those initiatives, which I fully expect to ultimately benefit ViewCast customers and bring value to all shareholders."
