Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by Beyond Air, Inc. (Nasdaq: XAIR) on November 5, 2025, covering events occurring on November 3, 4, and 5, 2025. The filing details a significant capital raise and restructuring of existing debt obligations to secure liquidity and operational funding.
Key Financial Metrics and Capital Structure
- Debt Financing: The Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement for a secured promissory note with a principal amount of $12,050,000. Net proceeds received were $12,000,000 after a $50,000 transaction fee.
- Equity Financing Capacity: Entered an Equity Purchase Agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC for the potential purchase of up to $20,000,000 of common stock over a two-year period.
- Interest Terms: The Note accrues interest at 15% per annum, with no interest accruing for the first 12 months. However, the lender is guaranteed 12 months of interest ($1,800,000) regardless of early redemption.
- Collateral: The Note is secured by a deposit account control agreement (DACA) requiring an initial cash collateral of $6,000,000, held in a subsidiary account. Additional security includes guarantees from subsidiaries and pledges of intellectual property.
- Existing Debt Amendment: Amended a prior loan agreement to provide an additional $2,000,000 term loan and issued supplemental warrants to a director.
Material Changes and Transactions
- Stock Option Repricing: The Board approved a one-time repricing of 726,618 stock options held by officers, directors, and employees. The exercise price for options exceeding $1.95 was reduced to $1.95 (the closing price on November 3, 2025).
- Warrant Adjustments: As part of the debt amendment, the exercise price of existing 2024 warrants held by the CEO and a director was reduced to $1.95 per share. New supplemental warrants were issued to a director for 512,821 shares at $1.95 per share.
- Trigger Events: The new Note includes "Trigger Effects" where the outstanding balance can increase by 9% for Major Trigger Events or 4% for Minor Trigger Events, up to three times each. Failure to cure these events within five trading days constitutes an Event of Default.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Liquidity Strategy: Management secured immediate liquidity through the $12 million note and established a mechanism for future equity raises via the $20 million purchase agreement.
- Redemption Rights: The lender (Streeterville) may redeem the Note starting 12 months after issuance, or as early as six months if the Registration Statement is not effective or the Company cannot issue stock under the Purchase Agreement.
- Default Risks: Upon an Event of Default, the Note balance (including Trigger Effects) becomes immediately due in cash, and the interest rate may increase to 18% per annum. Bankruptcy-related trigger events result in immediate acceleration without notice.
- Restrictions: While the Note is outstanding, the Company is restricted from issuing new debt or entering into variable rate transactions, subject to exceptions.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the effectiveness of the Registration Statement required by November 24, 2025, to enable the $20 million equity purchase facility.
- Monitor the Company's ability to maintain the $6,000,000 cash collateral requirement and the conditions for its release.
- Review the specific definitions of "Major Trigger Events" and "Minor Trigger Events" in the Note to assess the risk of balance increases.
- Confirm the impact of the stock option repricing on future dilution and employee retention metrics.
- Assess the Company's cash burn rate relative to the $12 million net proceeds and the 15% interest obligation commencing after the first 12 months.
