This transaction reduces the outstanding balance of the April 2023 convertible notes by $3,162,500 and establishes a new secured debt obligation with a variable interest rate floor of 8%.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

- Management Commentary: The filing contains no forward-looking guidance or outlook beyond the terms of the loan agreement.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current Prime Rate to calculate the exact effective interest rate (Prime + 4% vs. 8% floor).
- Confirm the valuation of the mortgaged property to ensure the 80% loan-to-value limit is not exceeded.
- Review the Company's cash flow statements to assess the ability to service the new debt and maintain the $97,600 reserve.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the utilization of the revolving line or additional debt incurrence.
