Chardan Capital Markets is confirmed sole placement agent for Allbirds/BIRD $50M senior secured convertible note facility; Kerry Propper is simultaneously Chardan Executive Chairman and ATW Partners Managing Partner

The institutional investor is unnamed. Kerry Propper is Co-Founder and Managing Partner of ATW Partners LLC and also Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Chardan Capital Markets LLC.
