Key financial and transaction details
- Exchange of existing securities: On September 28, holders exchanged $1.5 million principal amount of the company’s $11 million senior secured convertible note, plus accrued interest, and all outstanding Series C, D and E preferred shares for 3,410 newly issued Series F preferred shares. The unexchanged portion of the note remains outstanding; the filing does not quantify it.
- Token settlement: On September 30, the company issued 500 Series F shares to settle outstanding tokens stated to have an aggregate value of $5,688,263; those tokens were surrendered for cancellation. A further 5,500 Series F shares may be due after the specified trigger date. The Token Right remains outstanding, and additional tokens may still be issued under it.
- GPU contribution and lease: The company issued 3,000 Series F shares for contributed GPUs and may owe 4,000 more after both the 150-day period and the specified rental-income condition are met. The company may conduct additional GPU contributions and preferred-share sales, subject to the agreement’s terms and an aggregate maximum of 25,000 additional shares. Six GPUs, servers and related components are leased for an initial 32-month term. Rent is $94,167 monthly from October 2026 through November 2028 and $157,167 monthly from December 2028 through May 2029; a $150,000 purchase-option payment is due May 2, 2029. The lease is non-cancelable for its scheduled term and automatically renews unless timely terminated.
- Series F terms: The company authorized 50,000 shares, with a $1,000 stated value per share. The shares accrue dividends at 8% annually, compounded quarterly, rank senior to common and other capital stock for distributions and liquidation, and are convertible into common stock. The initial conversion price is $3.29; alternate-conversion terms include a $0.526 initial floor price, a market-price formula and a 125% premium (105% in specified change-of-control circumstances). Conversion terms are subject to adjustment provisions and ownership limits. Until required stockholder approval is effective, conversions are also subject to an exchange cap.
- Other financing provisions: During the specified covenant period, the company is restricted from certain variable-rate securities transactions, subject to exceptions. Buyers also receive participation rights in a portion of certain subsequent placements.
- Debt, liquidity and operating results: The exchange cancels only the specified note portion and preferred shares. The filing provides no clear current values for total debt, cash, revenue, profit, operating cash flow, margins or overall liquidity, and gives no comparable-period financial results.
Changes, outlook and risks
- The company said management believes stockholders’ equity, adjusted for the transactions, exceeded Nasdaq’s $2.5 million minimum as of the filing date and believes the steps may have restored compliance. The financial statements were not finalized or reviewed, and Nasdaq’s determination was not assured. Failure to regain or maintain compliance could result in delisting.
- Joseph La Rosa resigned as CEO and interim CFO effective October 1, 2026, and became Director of Real Estate Operations and a board member. Nicholas Adler became CEO and interim CFO and remained board chair. Adler’s annual base salary is $300,000; La Rosa’s is $200,000, plus a quarterly board fee of $18,750. The filing also states that Deana La Rosa’s employment agreement was amended to remove specified non-compete and non-solicitation provisions.
- The company agreed to pay Joseph La Rosa a remaining $100,000 redemption amount on or before January 31, 2027, and not to redeem his Series X shares until after the specified transaction and payment conditions.
- No financial guidance is provided. Forward-looking statements include potential additional closings, share issuances and conversions, future GPU contributions and rental income, Nasdaq compliance, and post-management-change plans. The filing cautions that outcomes are uncertain and refers investors to the company’s risk factors and other SEC filings.
