Pineapple Financial Inc. (PAPL), a company incorporated in Canada with principal offices in North York, Ontario, filed this Form 8-K on May 10, 2024. The report details the entry into material definitive agreements and the creation of direct financial obligations on the same date.
Key Financial Metrics and Agreements
The filing outlines three primary financial instruments executed with Brown Stone Capital Ltd.:
- Equity Purchase Agreement (EPA): The Company agreed to issue and sell up to $15,000,000 of common shares to the Investor over time. Additionally, 200,000 common shares were issued as a commitment fee.
- Convertible Promissory Note: The Company issued a note with a principal amount of $300,000, bearing an 8% annual interest rate, and maturing 24 months from issuance.

The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, or existing debt levels, as this is a transactional report rather than a periodic financial statement.
Material Changes and Transaction Details
The primary material change is the establishment of a new financing facility and immediate debt obligation. Key terms include:
- Registration Rights: A Registration Rights Agreement (RRA) was signed, requiring the Company to file registration statements for the EPA shares.
- Unregistered Sales: The EPA shares are being issued without prior registration, relying on exemptions under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D.
- Conversion Terms: The $300,000 Note is convertible into common shares subject to specific terms and conditions detailed in the exhibits.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain forward-looking guidance, management commentary on future performance, or specific risk factors beyond the standard incorporation of the transaction documents. The primary contingency noted is the reliance on specific securities law exemptions for the issuance of the EPA shares.
