5 Lesser-Known Facts About Debt Management Plans

PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--When faced with mounting credit card debt, many Americans assume their only options are drastic: debt settlement, bankruptcy or simply ignoring the problem. But there's another path that's often overlooked — one that offers structure, support and less impact to your credit. A Debt Management Plan (DMP) could be the financial lifeline that makes it possible to tackle debt with confidence, clarity and consistent progress. 'Debt Management Plans are one of the best-kept secrets in the world of debt relief,' said Manuel Salazar, chief executive officer at Take Charge America, a national nonprofit credit counseling and debt management agency. 'They're designed to help consumers regain control of their finances without the long-term financial damage that can come with other strategies.' Salazar sheds light on five need-to-know facts about DMPs: They don't wreck your credit. Unlike bankruptcy or debt settlement often does, enrolling in a DMP won't tank your credit score. In fact, making consistent, on-time payments through a DMP can actually improve your score over time. You get free, ongoing financial guidance. A DMP is more than just a payment plan. Consumers receive personalized budgets, one-on-one support and ongoing guidance to build better long-term financial habits throughout the plan. They require one simple monthly payment. DMPs consolidate multiple credit card payments into a single monthly payment, with no new loan required. Your credit counseling agency works directly with your creditors, distributing payments on your behalf and removing the burden of managing multiple bills. Collection calls stop. Once you're enrolled in a DMP and creditors begin receiving regular payments, those stressful collection calls and letters typically come to a halt — giving you some welcomed breathing room. They're only available through nonprofits. Nonprofit credit counseling agencies are the only organizations that offer DMPs, which means the guidance and support you receive will always be focused on your best interests instead of profit margins. 'People often wait until they feel completely overwhelmed to ask for help,' Salazar said. 'But it's important to know you don't have to hit rock bottom. A DMP can be a proactive, empowering step toward financial freedom.' To start your path toward a debt-free future, work with experts to create a personalized DMP. About Take Charge America, Inc. Founded in 1987, Take Charge America, Inc. is a nonprofit agency offering financial education and counseling services including credit counseling, debt management, housing counseling and bankruptcy counseling. It has helped more than 2 million consumers nationwide manage their personal finances and debts. Learn more at or call (888) 822-9193.

Llama Group SA Announces a Capital Increase via a Private Placement of € 1.000.000

BRUSSELS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: Llama Group SA (Euronext Growth Paris and Brussels: ALLAM), ('Llama Group' or the 'Company'), a digital music company and owner of the Winamp platform, today announces a capital increase for a total gross amount of € 1.000.000, subscribed by a limited number of investors (the 'Private Placement'). 'I would like to thank investors for their trust. This fundraising represents a key milestone for Llama Group and highlights the importance of our project in the music industry,' said Alexandre Saboundjian, CEO of Llama Group. 'Investors have recognised the potential of Winamp and the ambition driving our platform, designed to meet the needs of artists in a rapidly evolving music landscape. We remain more committed than ever to building an independent and innovative solution serving creators.' Use of Proceeds This transaction is part of Llama Group's ongoing strategic development. The funds raised will be primarily used to support the commercial launch of its new platform Winamp for Creators, by financing the initial phases of its go-to-market strategy — a central pillar of Llama Group's growth strategy. In parallel, the Company will continue to invest in the development of its two flagship products, Winamp for Creators and the Winamp Player, with the goal of enhancing features, improving user experience, and strengthening its positioning in the digital music market. The proceeds will also enable the Company to cover current operating expenses and meet its short-term financial commitments, in a context where its existing cash position requires supplementary funding alongside existing financing arrangements. Given current market conditions and the Company's stage of development, the private placement route was deemed the most appropriate and efficient financing solution at this time. Terms of the Private Placement The capital increase is carried out under the authorised capital framework, via the issuance of 1.666.668 new ordinary shares (the 'New Shares') at a subscription price of 0,60 € per share, representing a discount of approximately 21% compared to the Company's closing share price on the day prior to the announcement. The Private Placement is exclusively reserved for qualified investors — as defined under Rule 144A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 for subscribers located in the United States, and Article 2(e) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 for those based in the European Economic Area — with the statutory preferential subscription rights of existing shareholders being waived in the corporate interest. The New Shares: will be ordinary shares carry the same rights as the existing shares; will be fully paid-up, without nominal value, and issued in dematerialised form; will be entitled to dividends for the financial year starting 1 January 2025 if any; An application has been be made for admission to trading of the New Shares on Euronext Growth Brussels and Euronext Growth Paris as from their settlement and delivery. The capital increase for an amount of € 1.000.000 will raise the Company's share capital from € 29.859.118,30 to € 30.859.119,10. As the issue price is below the accounting par value, the entire subscribed amount will be allocated to the 'capital' account, without any share premium, so that all shares – both existing and new – will have the same accounting par value after completion. Subject to the closing of the capital increase having occurred, the Board of Directors will convene an Extraordinary General Meeting within fifteen (15) days following such closing. This meeting will take place no later than forty (40) days following the closing. 1 During such meeting, the shareholders will be asked to approve the issuance of 1.666.668 subscription rights ('Warrants') in favour of the investors who subscribed to the capital increase, without preferential subscription rights for existing shareholders. Each Warrant will entitle its holder to subscribe to one new ordinary share at an exercise price of 0,80 €, in accordance with the terms agreed between the Company and the investors. If a holder wishes to exercise its Warrants, it may do so only once for all Warrants owned by such holder, within five (5) years following the date on which the Warrants will have been effectively issued. The Company has committed to a 45-day standstill on the issuance of New Shares and transfer of shares of the Company, and the reference shareholder Maxximum SA has committed to a 60-day standstill on the transfer of shares of the Company, subject to customary and market-based exceptions. This structure enables Llama Group to quickly secure the resources needed while relying on professional investors able to support its long-term value creation strategy. Legal Basis of the Transaction In accordance with Article 7 of the Company's Articles of Association, the Board of Directors is authorised to increase the Company's share capital, in one or more tranches, until 4 March 2026, up to a maximum amount of € 22.841.742,87 (excluding any share premium), through the issuance of new shares, subscription rights or convertible bonds, via contributions in cash and/or in kind, with the ability to waive existing shareholders' preferential subscription rights. Immediately prior to this transaction, € 14.665.699,80 (excluding share premium) remained available under the authorised capital. Impact on Share Capital and Voting Rights Subject to the successful settlement and delivery of the New Shares, the Company's share capital will increase from € 29.859.118,30 to € 30.859.119,10, represented by 15.183.434 shares. The breakdown of the share capital and voting rights before and after the Private Placement is as follows: Before Private Placement Shareholders Shares Capital % Voting Rights Voting Rights % Maxximum SA 4,629,917 34.25% 8,615,636 49.23% Public 8,886,849 65.75% 8,886,849 50.77% Total 13,516,766 100.00% 17,502,485 100.00% Expand After Private Placement Shareholders Shares Capital % Voting Rights Voting Rights % Maxximum SA 4,629,917 30.49% 8,615,636 44.95% Public 10,553,517 69.51% 10,553,517 55.05% Total 15,183,434 100.00% 19,169,153 100.00% Expand Impact on Shareholders The stake of a shareholder holding 1% of the Company's share capital prior to the capital increase, and not participating in the Private Placement, would be diluted to approximately 0,89% following the issuance of 1.666.668 New Shares. In the event of full exercise of the 1.666.668 Warrants attached to the New Shares, this stake would be further reduced to approximately 0,80%. Financial Advisors Maxim Group LLC acted as placement agent and Allegra Finance acted as listing sponsor in the context of the Private Placement. The Private Placement is governed by agreements entered into between the Company and the placement. Risk Factors The public's attention is drawn to the risk factors relating to the Company and its business, as presented in the 2024 annual financial report published by the Company on April 1, 2025, available free of charge on its website ( The occurrence of some or all of these risks could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, results, development, or outlook. Prospectus Exemption The Private Placement, which is exclusively reserved for qualified investors, is not subject to the obligation to publish a prospectus or information note approved by the FSMA, in accordance with Article 10, § 3, 1° of the Law of 11 July 2018 on public offers of investment instruments and admissions of investment instruments to trading on regulated markets. The admission of the New Shares to trading on Euronext Growth Brussels and Paris is governed by the Royal Decree of 23 September 2018 on the publication of an information note in the event of a public offer or admission to trading on an MTF. In this respect, a verification was carried out and confirmed that the number of New Shares to be issued represents 12,3% of the number of Llama Group shares already admitted to trading on Euronext Growth over the past twelve months — i.e. below the 20% regulatory threshold. As a result, the transaction satisfies the exemption conditions under Article 3 of the Royal Decree, and no information note will be published.

Llama Group: Jamendo Reaffirms Commitment to Legal Action Over Unauthorized Use of Its Music by Nvidia and Suno

BRUSSELS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: Llama Group (Paris: ALLAM) (Brussels: ALLAM): Jamendo, the global music platform and part of the Winamp family, is reaffirming its firm stance in the ongoing dispute with Nvidia over the alleged unauthorized use of its music catalog to train the AI model Fugatto, as well as with Suno regarding the use of the same catalog in training the SunoAI Foundation Model. No agreement has been reached with Nvidia, despite multiple attempts to resolve the matter amicably and in good faith, including a formal licensing proposal. In contrast, Suno has failed to respond entirely, ignoring Jamendo's repeated efforts to establish communication. Jamendo has no intention of backing down and is determined to pursue the necessary legal procedures to ensure its rights — and those of the more than 70,000 independent artists she represents — are fully respected and enforced. The team is proceeding as planned to initiate legal action. 'Our music catalog is not free for exploitation by commercial entities building AI models without permission or compensation,' said Alexandre Saboundjian, CEO of Jamendo and Winamp. 'Nvidia and Suno's use of our artists' work without authorization is not only unlawful, it is a direct threat to the livelihoods of independent musicians worldwide. We will not stand idly by. As an example, under the US Copyright Act, violations of this nature are subject to statutory damages ranging from $750 to $150,000 per infringed track.' Jamendo had proposed a fair and standard retroactive license agreement for the 51,000 tracks allegedly used in the training of Nvidia's AI program, based on its established licensing rate for AI training purposes. This offer remains unmatched in its reasonableness and reflects the same terms accepted by other reputable technology companies. The platform reiterates that it stands ready to defend its rights, and those of its artist community. Jamendo remains committed to transparency and to defending the legal and moral rights of artists in the evolving digital landscape. Jamendo calls on all stakeholders to respect creators' work and engage in licensing discussions rather than infringe upon the fundamental principles of copyright law. Next Meeting About Jamendo – Jamendo is all about connecting musicians and music lovers from all over the world. Our goal is to bring together a worldwide community of independent music, creating experience and value around it. Jamendo offers the perfect platform for all independent artists wishing to share their creations as easily as possible, reaching new audiences internationally. About Winamp – Winamp is redefining the music experience by creating an innovative platform that strengthens the connection between artists and fans. We provide powerful tools that empower creators to manage their music, grow their audience, and maximize their revenue—all while delivering a seamless listening experience through the Winamp Player. Winamp for Creators is our dedicated platform designed to give music artists everything they need to succeed.
