("GPM"), to ETTS AI Investment LLC ("ETTS AI").
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide standard financial performance metrics such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, or liquidity ratios. The only specific financial figure disclosed relates to the transaction structure:
- Promissory Note Value: $2.3 million (issued by ETTS AI to iPower in exchange for GPM equity).

Material Changes
The primary material change reported is the execution of an Amendment to the Promissory Note on March 26, 2026. This amendment modifies Section 8 of the original note to expand the definition of a "Change of Control" for iPower. The expanded definition now includes:
- Any material change in the composition of executive management or the board of directors.
- Any material change in the business model, core operations, or strategic direction that adversely affects obligations to GPM.
- Disposition of any material portion of the supply chain impacting the ability to supply products or services.
All other terms of the original Promissory Note remain unchanged.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing contains no forward-looking guidance, revenue outlook, or management commentary regarding future financial performance. The primary risk disclosed is the potential acceleration or default triggers associated with the newly defined "Change of Control" events, which could impact the Company's operational flexibility regarding management changes, strategic pivots, or supply chain dispositions.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the full text of the Addendum to Promissory Note (Exhibit 10.1) to understand specific default triggers and repayment terms.
- Confirm the current status of the $2.3 million promissory note and whether any payments have been made since the February 1, 2026, transaction.
- Assess whether recent or planned changes in executive management or board composition could inadvertently trigger the new "Change of Control" definition.
- Review the Company's supply chain stability to ensure no material dispositions are planned that would violate the amended agreement.
