Reporting date: October 23, 2023; filed October 24, 2023. The filing reports a material financing agreement and related debt-prepayment obligations, not periodic operating results.
Business Context and Reporting Period
Eightco Holdings Inc. entered into a Prepayment and Redemption Agreement with an accredited investor relating to outstanding senior secured convertible notes and a warrant issued under prior securities purchase agreements.
Key Financial and Capital Structure Matters
- The 2022 Senior Secured Convertible Note had an original principal amount of $33.333 million, with $2.000 million outstanding as of October 23, 2023.
- The 2023 Senior Secured Convertible Note had an original principal amount of $5.555 million, with the entire principal amount outstanding as of the effective date.
- The 2023 Warrant covered the potential purchase of 2,763,545 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment provisions.
- The Company agreed to pay the investor an aggregate of $8.215 million in six installments.
- An initial $3.000 million payment is allocated to the 2022 Note, a portion of the 2023 Note, and full redemption of the 2023 Warrant.
- The remaining five installments range from $150,000 to $2.275 million and are due monthly from November 15, 2023 through March 15, 2024. The Company may prepay installments.
- The filing does not provide revenue, profit, cash flow, margin, cash balance, or liquidity figures for the reporting period.
Material Changes, Outlook, and Risks
- Upon receipt of the initial payment, the outstanding 2023 Note will no longer be convertible into common stock, unless an event of default occurs or the Company fails to make required payments.
- Cash payments otherwise required under the Notes will be suspended while the Company timely performs under the Prepayment Agreement and no event of default exists.
- After payment of the full $8.215 million, the securities purchase agreements, Notes, 2023 Warrant, and related transaction documents will terminate, except for certain indemnification obligations.
- If closing conditions are not satisfied by the fifth business day after October 23, 2023, the investor may have the right to terminate the agreement, subject to specified conditions.
- The agreement contains customary representations, warranties, disclosure obligations, and most-favored-nation covenants.
- The principal risk is the Company’s ability to fund the scheduled payments. Failure to pay or an event of default could restore conversion rights under the 2023 Note and prevent termination of the financing documents.
Important Facts for Investors to Verify
- Confirm whether the initial $3.000 million payment was made and whether the agreement’s closing conditions were satisfied.
- Review the Company’s available cash and financing sources relative to the remaining installment obligations through March 15, 2024.
- Verify the timing and completion of the 2023 Warrant redemption and the resulting reduction in potential share dilution.
- Review the full Prepayment and Redemption Agreement, including confidentially redacted provisions, default triggers, and termination conditions.
- Check subsequent filings for missed payments, reinstatement of note conversion rights, additional financing, or amendments to the agreement.
