- Default Penalty: In the event of default, the outstanding balance increases by 150% and becomes immediately due.
- Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d): Total shares issued to Next under this note and other documents are capped at 19.99% of outstanding shares unless shareholder approval is obtained. If approval is not granted, the remaining balance must be repaid in cash upon request.
- Stock Split Protection: Conversion terms are adjusted proportionally in the event of a stock split.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current status of the Exchange Agreement to acquire NextNRG Holding Corp., as the closing has not yet occurred.
- Confirm the exact number of shares issued as the commitment fee and their impact on total outstanding shares relative to the 19.99% Nasdaq cap.
- Monitor the company's ability to repay the $110,000 principal plus accrued interest by the May 26, 2024 maturity date or subsequent extension dates.
- Assess the risk of immediate acceleration if the company successfully raises $3,000,000 in capital.
- Review the potential dilution impact if the lender exercises conversion rights upon default, specifically noting the $0.70 floor price.
