The Company is liable to pay liquidated damages to the note holders, owing to breach of certain conditions as prescribed by the agreement. However, there is no visibility on the amount of such damages, henceforth, no provision has been booked for the same.

 

During the period ended December 31, 2024, the Company received notices from Atalaya regarding equity line transactions and incurring debt without the Purchaser’s consent. Under the Atalaya Note, any default would make all accrued interest, liquidated damages, and other amounts immediately due in cash. The Company is in discussions with Atalaya to resolve this matter and has classified all payments due to Atalaya as a current liability.

Terms of notes

 

In December 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with ACM Zoomcar Convert LLC (the “Purchaser” or “Atalaya”) relating to an unsecured convertible note (the ‘Atalaya Note’), obligations under which after the Closing, a Convertible Note for $8,434,605 (the “Original Note Principal Amount”), in connection with certain transaction expenses associated with the Reverse Recapitalization that were incurred but paid at the Closing was issued. The Atalaya Note is subject to an original issue discount equal to 7.5% of the principal amount of the Note. The Atalaya Note bears an interest of 8%.

 

Commencing at the end of the month in which Company’s Registration Statement, for registering the shares issued under Reverse Recapitalization, is declared effective, the Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, require the Company to pay the Purchaser, in monthly installments of amounts equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Original Note Principal Amount, until the total principal amount of the Note has been paid in full, prior to or on the maturity date or, if earlier, upon acceleration, conversion or prepayment of the Note in accordance with its terms. Such monthly payments shall be made in cash or in shares of Common Stock, subject to certain further conditions set forth in the Atalaya Note. In connection with any monthly payments made in Common Stock, the number of shares required to be delivered by the Company shall be determined by dividing the monthly payment amount by the lower of (i) the Conversion Price or (ii) the Amortization Conversion Price (each as defined below). The Note Purchaser shall also have the right, to convert all or any portion of the Atalaya Note, at the Conversion Price, at the Amortization Conversion Price, up to an amount equal to 25% of the highest trading day value of shares of Common Stock on a daily basis during the 20 trading days preceding the applicable Conversion Date, or a greater amount upon obtaining the Company’s prior written consent.

 

“Amortization Conversion Price” means the lower of (i) the Conversion Price, and (ii) a 7.5% discount to the lowest VWAP over the 20 trading days immediately preceding the applicable payment date or other date of determination, subject to the terms of the Note. The “Conversion Price” of the Atalaya Note, immediately after the Original Note Issuance Date is $20,000 ($1000 prior to Second Reverse Stock Split and $10 prior to First Reverse Stock Split), provided, however, that Conversion Price is subject to adjustment under various circumstances, including in the event of a future issuance of Common Stock at a price that is lower than the then Conversion Price, and other circumstances, subject in all cases to a conversion floor price of $500 ($25 prior to Second Reverse Stock Split and $0.25 prior to First Reverse Stock Split) (the “Conversion Floor”), provided, that if the Conversion Price or the Amortization Conversion Price is lower than the Conversion Floor, the amount due to the holder of the Note upon an applicable Conversion Date shall be made in cash, in lieu of shares, unless otherwise agreed by the Note Purchaser and the Company.

 

Additionally, 82 ($1,640 prior to Second Reverse Stock Split and 164,000 prior to First Reverse Stock Split) registered and unrestricted shares of Common Stock were issued and delivered to Midtown Madison Management LLC, the service provider of the Atalaya Note Purchaser. This was accounted at the fair value of the shares issued amounting to $492,000 in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
