- Total Principal Raised: $550,000 ($275,000 per lender).
- Cash Proceeds Received: $500,000 ($250,000 per lender, reflecting a $25,000 Original Issue Discount per note).
- Equity Issued: 100,000 shares of common stock total (50,000 shares to each lender as commitment shares).
- Interest Cost: 10% one-time guaranteed interest charge ($27,500 per note), earned in full upon issuance.
- Maturity Dates: April 15, 2027 (Agile Hudson) and April 17, 2027 (FirstFire).
- Security: Notes are secured by a first-priority security interest in all Company assets, ranking pari passu with existing debt held by Leviston Resources and FirstFire.
Material Changes and Covenants
Debt Structure and Conversion:
- Conversion Rights: Lenders may convert principal and interest into common stock starting six months post-issuance.
- Conversion Price: Variable rate at 80% of the average of the three lowest volume-weighted average prices during the 15 trading days preceding conversion, subject to a $0.10 floor.
- Equity Blocker: Lenders are restricted from owning more than 4.99% (or 9.99% with notice) of outstanding common stock.
- Exchange Cap: Issuance is limited to 10,000,000 shares per lender unless stockholder approval is obtained by October 2027.
Restrictive Covenants:
- Variable Rate Transaction Ban: The Company is prohibited from entering into new variable rate transactions (e.g., convertible debt with reset features) until the later of October 2027 or full extinguishment of the notes.
- Prohibited Transactions: Restrictions on merchant cash advances, cash dividends, and asset sales without consent.
- Prepayment: Prepayment within 60 days requires 100% of principal and interest; thereafter, 110% is required.
- Default Penalties: Upon default, the principal balance increases by $5,000 monthly, and the total obligation is multiplied by 150% plus default interest (up to 18% per annum).
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Management Commentary and Outlook:
- The Company has secured immediate liquidity but faces significant dilution risk due to the variable conversion price (80% of the lowest 15-day average) and the issuance of commitment shares.
- Future financing flexibility is constrained by the prohibition on Variable Rate Transactions and the requirement to seek stockholder approval for issuances exceeding the Exchange Cap.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Penny Stock Trigger: If the stock is deemed a "penny stock," commitment shares may be cancelled and converted to a cash payment of $0.35 per share.
- Default Risk: The aggressive default penalties (150% multiplier and monthly balance increases) pose a severe liquidity risk if the Company misses payments or breaches covenants.
- Collateral Risk: All Company assets are pledged as collateral, limiting future borrowing capacity against those assets.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current share count to assess the immediate dilution impact of the 100,000 commitment shares and potential future conversion.
- Confirm the status of existing secured debt held by Leviston Resources and FirstFire to understand the total secured debt burden.
- Monitor the stock price relative to the $0.10 conversion floor and the 80% discount mechanism to model worst-case dilution scenarios.
- Check for any pending stockholder meetings scheduled to approve the Exchange Cap (deadline: October 2027).
- Review the Company's cash flow projections to ensure ability to service the $550,000 principal plus accrued interest by the 2027 maturity dates.
