Material Changes and Transaction Details
The Company issued the Additional Note pursuant to a partial exercise of a previously reported Incremental Warrant (total capacity $6,500,000) under a Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 12, 2025. Material terms include:
- Conversion Mechanics: The Holder may convert the note into Class A Common Stock, subject to a Beneficial Ownership Limitation of 4.99% (adjustable up to 9.99%).
- Price Resets: The conversion price is subject to downward adjustments (Variable Price) based on the lowest daily VWAP over 10 consecutive trading days, effective monthly after the registration statement becomes effective.
- Amortization Event: If an Amortization Event occurs, the Company must make monthly payments equal to 1/6th of the aggregate principal plus 20% of that amount until repaid.
- Dilutive Issuance: If the Company effects a Dilutive Issuance, the Fixed Price will be reduced to the New Issuance Price.
- Default Provisions: Upon an Event of Default, the interest rate rises to 18.00%, and the Holder may convert at an Alternate Conversion Price (85% of the lowest 10-day VWAP) or demand immediate payment in cash or stock.

- Default Risk: Events of Default include nonpayment, breach of covenants, bankruptcy, failure to file required reports, or defaults on other indebtedness exceeding $250,000.
- Liquidity Pressure: The requirement for accelerated monthly payments upon an Amortization Event could strain liquidity.
- Unregistered Sale: The transaction was conducted as a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506(b) exemptions.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total outstanding principal of all notes under the March 12, 2025 Purchase Agreement to assess total debt exposure.
- Review the current trading volume and VWAP of Class A Common Stock to estimate potential dilution from the Variable Price mechanism.
- Confirm the Company's current cash position to evaluate its ability to service the 5.25% interest and potential amortization payments.
- Check for any existing Events of Default that might trigger the 18.00% interest rate or immediate repayment demands.
- Examine the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific definitions of "Amortization Event" and "Dilutive Issuance."
