Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Financial Risk: The Company faces a "Mandatory Default Amount" acceleration if an event of default occurs, with interest accruing at 20% per annum.
- Operational Risk: Strict cash balance covenants ($1.35 million minimum) require immediate principal reduction payments ($125,000) if violated and not cured within 30 days.
- Dilution Risk: Significant potential dilution exists via the conversion of the Note (up to 15,000,000 shares at $0.20) and the exercise of warrants (10,500,000 shares at $0.35).
- Contingency: The Company must deliver stock certificates for 100% of US subsidiaries and 65% of non-US subsidiaries to the Purchaser within 30 days.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the Company's current cash balance against the $1.35 million rolling average covenant requirement.
- Confirm the status of the subsidiary eTwine, Inc. (dissolution or guarantee execution) within the 30-day window.
- Review the Company's ability to meet the $10,000 monthly advisory fee and potential $150,000 one-time fee if future equity is issued below the conversion price.
- Assess the impact of the 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation on the Purchaser's ability to convert or exercise warrants.
- Check for any pending change of control transactions that could trigger immediate maturity of the Note.
