Guidance, Outlook, and Restrictions
- Use of Proceeds: General corporate purposes, working capital, and debt repayment.
- Lock-Up Agreements:
- Company: 90-day lock-up on issuing new equity/debt or filing new registration statements.
- Directors/Officers: 180-day lock-up.
- October 2024 and December 2024 Purchasers: 90-day lock-up.
- Future Capital Raise Restrictions: The December 2024 Amendments prohibit the issuance of new convertible debt/equity with variable conversion prices or reset mechanisms while the notes are outstanding.
- Risks: Significant dilution potential from warrant exercises and note conversions; mandatory cash outflows for monthly debt service starting September 2025; requirement to allocate future capital raise proceeds to existing debt holders.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact net proceeds after deducting the 7% placement fee, 1% expense allowance, and other offering costs.
- Confirm the total outstanding principal balance of the October 2024, Black, and December 2024 notes post-repayment.
- Review the full text of the Placement Agency Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) and Note Amendments (Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3) for specific covenants and default provisions.
- Assess the impact of the 19.9% conversion cap on the December 2024 Notes and the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval to remove it.
- Monitor the Company's ability to meet the mandatory monthly debt service payments ($75k + $225k) commencing September 30, 2025.
