Material Changes and Covenants
The primary material change is the creation of a direct financial obligation of $4,000,000 in convertible debt. Key covenants include:
- Right of First Refusal: The Investor holds a 12-month right of first refusal on future financing transactions (excluding ATM offerings).
- Restrictions: The Company is restricted from engaging in variable rate transactions while the notes are outstanding.
- Conversion Caps: Conversions are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation. The Second Note is also subject to a 19.99% exchange cap without stockholder approval.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Contingencies: The funding of the $2,000,000 "New Note" is contingent upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed on August 29, 2025. The Investor waived the condition precedent for the initial $2,000,000 tranche.
Risks:
- Default Risk: Interest rates jump to 18% upon an event of default, and the Investor may accelerate the note or convert at the conversion price.
- Dilution: The variable conversion price on the Second Note (93% of VWAP) creates significant dilution risk if the stock price declines.
- Liquidity Pressure: Mandatory monthly amortization payments ($750,000 or $200,000) could strain cash flow if an Amortization Event occurs or the New Note becomes active.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the status of the Registration Statement filed on August 29, 2025, to confirm if the $2,000,000 New Note funding condition has been met.
- Review the Company's current cash position to assess ability to meet potential mandatory monthly amortization payments ($750,000 or $200,000) if triggered.
- Monitor the 5-day VWAP of common stock to calculate the potential conversion price for the Second Note, noting the $1.00 floor.
- Confirm if any "Amortization Events" (Floor Price, Exchange Cap, or Registration Events) have occurred since September 11, 2025.
- Check for any future financing announcements to determine if the Investor's Right of First Refusal is triggered.
