Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by Reborn Coffee, Inc. on March 31, 2025, reporting events occurring on March 28, 2025. The filing details the consummation of the third tranche of a secured convertible debenture offering and the execution of amendments to the underlying securities purchase agreement.

- Debt Issuance: The Company issued Third Closing Debentures with an aggregate principal amount of $1,666,667.
- Cash Proceeds: The debentures were sold for a purchase price of $1,500,000, reflecting a 10% original issue discount (OID).
- Interest Rate: Debentures accrue interest at 10% per annum, paid in kind (PIK), unless an event of default occurs.

Material Changes and Amendments
On March 28, 2025, the Company entered into a Global Amendment and an SPA Amendment with the Arena Investors. These amendments introduce a mandatory redemption provision: upon receipt of cash proceeds from future equity or indebtedness issuances, the Company must apply 30% of the gross cash proceeds to redeem a portion of the outstanding debentures. The redemption price is set at 120% of the principal amount being redeemed, plus 100% of accrued but unpaid interest and any liquidated damages.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The filing does not provide specific forward-looking guidance or management commentary regarding future operational performance. However, the mandatory redemption clause creates a significant contingency for future capital raises, as 30% of gross proceeds from any new financing will be diverted to retire existing debt at a premium. The securities were issued pursuant to exemptions under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D to accredited investors.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the total outstanding principal amount of the debentures following the $1,666,667 issuance in the third tranche.
- Assess the impact of the 120% redemption premium on the Company's ability to raise future capital without triggering immediate debt repayment.
- Review the dilution impact of the 91,076 warrants issued and the potential conversion of the $1,666,667 principal amount at the discounted conversion price.
- Confirm the Company's current liquidity position to ensure it can meet the PIK interest obligations and potential redemption requirements.
