- Conversion Rights: Evergreen may convert principal and interest into Common Stock at $5.00 per share prior to maturity, subject to Company approval.
- Reset Provision: If the Company issues equity or convertible securities at a price lower than $5.00, the conversion price resets to the lower of the new price or $1.27 per share.
- Repayment Trigger: The Company is obligated to repay the Note if it completes an equity or debt offering with gross proceeds of at least $4.0 million.
- Application of Funds: Evergreen has the right to apply the Note amount toward a future offering of the Company's securities.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the impact of the 200,000 share issuance on existing shareholder dilution.
- Confirm the Company's ability to meet the $4.0 million offering threshold without triggering immediate debt repayment.
- Assess the risk of the conversion price resetting to $1.27 if the Company raises capital below $5.00 per share.
- Review the full text of the Amended and Restated Consolidated Secured Promissory Note (Exhibit 10.1) for additional covenants.
