On December 30, 2021, Borrower, a subsidiary of Soluna MC, a subsidiary of SDI, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Master Equipment Finance Agreement (the “Master Agreement”) with NYDIG as lender, servicer and collateral agent (the “NYDIG facility”). The Master Agreement outlined the framework for a financing up to approximately $14.4 million in aggregate equipment financing. Subsequently, the parties negotiated the specific terms of each equipment financing transaction as well as the terms upon which the Noteholders would consent to the transactions contemplated by the Master Agreement.

 

On January 14, 2022, the Borrower effected an initial drawdown under the Master Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $4.6 million that bore interest at 14% and was to be repaid over 24 months. On January 26, 2022, the Borrower had a subsequent drawdown of $9.8 million. As part of the transactions contemplated under the Master Agreement, (i) the Company’s indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Soluna MC LLC, formerly EcoChain Block LLC (“Guarantor”), which is the owner of 100% of the equity interests of Borrower, executed a Guaranty Agreement in favor of NYDIG, as lender, dated as of December 30, 2021 (the “Guaranty Agreement”), (ii) Borrower had granted a lien on, and security interest in, all of its assets to NYDIG, as collateral agent, (iii) Guarantor entered into an equipment financing arrangement on assets purchased with the borrowed funds, (iv) Borrower would borrow from NYDIG the loans as set forth in certain loan schedules (the “Specified Loans”), and (v) Borrower had executed a Digital Asset Account Control Agreement (the “ACA Wallet Agreement”) with NYDIG, as collateral agent and secured party, and NYDIG Trust Company LLC, as custodian, dated as of December 30, 2021, as well as such other agreements related to the foregoing as mutually agreed (collectively, the “NYDIG Transactions”).

 

On December 20, 2022, as a result of the Borrower’s default on as series of loans made by NYDIG to the Borrower, the Borrower received a Notice of Acceleration and Repossession (the “NYDIG Notice”) from NYDIG with respect to the Master Agreement, by and between Borrower and NYDIG. The obligations of Borrower under the Master Agreement and reflected in the NYDIG Notice are ring-fenced to Borrower and its direct parent company, Soluna MC LLC. The Company is not a party to any guaranty, collateral agreement, or other support agreement with or for the benefit of NYDIG.

 

On February 23, 2023, NYDIG proceeded to foreclose on all of the collateral securing the MEFA, and repossessed the collateralized assets that totaled approximately $3.4 million, approximately $560 thousand of which was first used to pay off accrued interest and penalty to date. On September 5, 2023, NYDIG provided a letter finalizing the accounting for the repossessed collateralized assets totaling proceeds of approximately $3.4 million. On December 7, 2023, NYDIG filed its Motion for Summary Judgment seeking entry of a judgment against Soluna in the approximate amount of $10.3 million for principal and interest and penalties. On January 12, 2024, Soluna filed its objection to NYDIG’s motion for summary judgment on the grounds that NYDIG failed to explain what collateral of which loan was sold and how the sale proceeds were allocated to each loan. A summary judgment motion hearing took place on February 13, 2024, where it was agreed upon by both NYDIG and the Borrower, that the total outstanding loan principal balance would be approximately $9.2 million. The Company applied the per diem interest rate agreed upon with the summary judgement and recorded interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 of approximately $361 thousand and $719 thousand, respectively. The Company’s interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 related to the NYDIG financing was approximately $361 thousand and $723 thousand, respectively. The Company has an outstanding interest and penalty accrual of approximately $3.0 million recorded within “Accrued interest payable” as of June 30, 2025. See Note 10 for further information in relation to the NYDIG litigation matter.

On June 20, 2024, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of a Note Purchase Agreement (the “June SPA”) by and among (i) CloudCo, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, (ii) Soluna Cloud, a Nevada corporation, indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and parent of CloudCo, (iii) the Company and (iv) the accredited investor named therein (the “Investor”, and collectively the “Note Parties”), CloudCo issued to the Investor a secured promissory note in a principal amount equal to $12.5 million (the “Note” or “Green Cloud secured note”). The Note accrues interest at a rate 9.0% per annum, subject to adjustment upon an event of default. The Note matures on June 20, 2027. CloudCo’s obligations under the Note will be secured by all or substantially all of CloudCo’s assets, including pursuant to a security agreement to be executed and delivered by CloudCo in favor of the Investor (the “CloudCo Security Agreement”, and together with the June SPA and the Note, the “CloudCo Agreements”).

 

As further inducement for the Investor to purchase the Note, Soluna Cloud issued to the Investor a warrant (the “Warrant”) exercisable within three years from June 20, 2024 for a number of shares of common stock of Soluna Cloud equal to the sum of (a) 12.5% of Soluna Cloud’s issued and outstanding common stock as of the date of the Warrant divided by 0.875, plus (b) the percentage of each Qualified Issuance (as defined below) divided by 0.875. For purposes of the Warrant, “Qualified Issuance” means (y) each issuance of common stock of Soluna Cloud during the period commencing on the day after the date of the Warrant and ending on the earlier to occur of (i) the conclusion of up to an additional $112.5 million of capital raised, whether in the form of debt, equity, mixed or otherwise, by Soluna Cloud and its subsidiaries and (ii) December 31, 2024 and (z) the number of shares of common stock of Soluna Cloud issuable upon the exercise or conversion of any convertible securities of CloudCo issued during such period (other than certain issuances pursuant to CloudCo’s equity compensation plans). On June 20, 2024, the Company determined that the warrant should be treated as a warrant liability and based on valuation, the Company booked a warrant liability of approximately $314 thousand and a related debt discount which will be amortized over the life of the loan. Further evaluation of the Warrants under ASC 815-10 was required to determine if the warrants meet the definition of a derivative. The warrants are classified as a liability that are required to be adjusted to fair market value. The Company applied a discounted cash flow method in relation to the valuation of Cloud in which assumptions from forecasted projected cash flow data and other key operating assumptions such as working cash flow were used to determine an enterprise value less any current debt in order to determine an equity value for Cloud. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the warrants were fair valued, and deemed to not have any further value, as such the Company wrote down the liability balance to $0.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred approximately $354 thousand and $744 thousand in interest expense in relation to the June SPA, which includes interest paid on the note and amortization of deferred financing costs.

 

June SPA Modification

 

On March 21, 2025, the Note Parties entered into a Modification Agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) to, among other things:

 

  (i) provide for the deposit of 1,000,000 shares (the “Escrow Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, into an escrow account maintained by Northland Securities, Inc., pursuant to an escrow agreement (as further described below),
  (ii) provide for the issuance to the Investor of penny warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of penny warrants (exercise price at $0.01) shall equal $1.25 million divided by the 5-day VWAP of the Company’s common stock at time of issuance. The warrants will be issued at the time the Investor removes its lien on the property of the Company. As of August 14, 2025, the lien has not yet been removed and the warrants have not been issued,
  (iii) amend the payment schedule of the Note to provide (a) for each of the six scheduled payments occurring after the earlier of the effectiveness of a registration statement for the resale of the Escrow Shares and the Conversion Shares (as defined below) or the date that the Escrow Shares and the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), without any information requirements, the amount of principal and interest payable on such date shall be reduced by 50% (the aggregate amount of the six months of such reductions, the “Specified Amount”) and (b) if the aggregate amount of payments on the Amended Note applied from the proceeds of the sale of the Escrow Shares on or prior to the last six scheduled payments is less than the Specified Amount (such difference, the “Make Whole Amount”), than the amount of each of the remaining scheduled payments shall be increased by an amount equal to the Make Whole Amount divided by the number of remaining scheduled payments,
  (iv) modify the Note such that the Note is now convertible into up to 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock based (“Conversion Shares”) on a conversion price of $5.00,
  (v) amend the Note to provide that the Company will be a direct co-obligor with CloudCo under the Note; and
  (vi) amend the SPA to allow the Company to organize or incorporate any subsidiary, over which the Company shall have voting or beneficial control, which is being formed with the intent to engage in a business or line of business substantially similar to that of Soluna Cloud or the Company, without first paying all of the principal and interest due under the Note and without first obtaining Investor’s prior written consent (collectively, the “June SPA Modification”).

 

 

The joint-and-several liability arrangement is between the Company and CloudCo. While no written agreement has been created to establish the amount that each entity agrees to pay under the obligation, the nature of the relationship is such that the Company has taken a significant role in the economics of the Notes. The Company expects to make any necessary payments on behalf of CloudCo in order to prevent default on the Notes because the Investor has a lien on all property and assets of the Company in connection with the Notes. Based on quantitative analysis performed by the Company, it was determined that the terms of the debt instrument before and after the June SPA Modification were not substantially different. Accordingly, the June SPA Modification is accounted for as a debt modification.

 

Subsequently, the Company and the Investor mutually agreed that the 1,000,000 Escrow Shares would instead be issued directly to the Investor and, on April 29, 2025, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to the Investor.

* On March 14, 2025, the Company satisfied the assignment and assumption agreement, as such a gain on extinguishment was recorded.

 

On July 12, 2024, the Company, CloudCo, Soluna Cloud, and the Investor entered into a First Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement (the “June SPA Amendment”). This amendment allows CloudCo to issue additional secured promissory notes totaling $1.25 million (the “Additional Notes”) to new accredited investors (the “Additional Investors”). These Additional Notes are subject to the same terms and conditions as the June SPA financing.

 

To further incentivize the Additional Investors, Soluna Cloud issued warrants (the “Cloud Additional Warrants”) to each Additional Investor. These Cloud Additional Warrants are exercisable within three years from the effective date of the June SPA Amendment. They allow the purchase of a number of shares of Soluna Cloud common stock equal to 1.25% of Soluna Cloud’s issued and outstanding common stock as of the Cloud Additional Warrant date, divided by 0.9875, plus 1.25% of each Qualified Issuance, divided by 0.9875. On July 12, 2024, the Company determined that the additional warrants were treated as a warrant liability and based on valuation, the Company booked a warrant liability of approximately $13 thousand and a related debt discount which will be amortized over the life of the loan. Further evaluation of the Warrants under ASC 815-10 was required to determine if the warrants meet the definition of a derivative. The warrants are classified as a liability that are required to be adjusted to fair market value. The Company applied a discounted cash flow method in relation to the valuation of Cloud which assumptions from forecasted projected cash flow data and other key operating assumptions such as working cash flow were used to determine an enterprise value less any current debt in order to determine an equity value for Cloud. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the warrants were fair valued, and deemed to not have any further value, as such the Company wrote down the liability balance to $0.

 

A “Qualified Issuance” includes any issuance of common stock by Soluna Cloud from the day after the Cloud Additional Warrant date until the earlier of raising an additional $111.25 million or December 31, 2024, as well as shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of convertible securities issued during this period, excluding certain equity compensation plan issuances.

 

On October 1, 2024, CloudCo, Soluna Cloud and the Company entered into assignment and assumption agreements (the “Assignment Agreements”) with the Additional Investors with respect to an aggregate of $1.25 million of notes issued by CloudCo. Pursuant to the Assignment Agreements, the Company will be able to purchase such notes for a purchase price of $750 thousand, or 60% of face value. The assignment and assumption will be effective once all conditions of the agreement are met including fulfilling the purchase price. The notes will be paid to the note holders from an escrow that is funded in installments from the SEPA funding. The transfer is not effective until payment from the escrow is made. The Company was required to escrow 20% of all SEPA draws until the $750 thousand purchase price is accumulated. In addition to the 20% of SEPA funds, the Company would apply all principal payments and 50% of interest payments made to date from October 1, 2024, until the $750 thousand purchase price has been met.

 

 

On March 14, 2025, the Company fulfilled the purchase obligations, and assumed the Additional Notes through payment of $750 thousand through principal and 50% interest payments and use of 20% SEPA funds. Effectively, the remaining debt assignment was assumed by Soluna Holdings, Inc. and was recorded as an intercompany debt obligation that was eliminated on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30 2025. The Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of the July 2024 Additional Secured Notes of approximately $551 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred approximately $0 and $33 thousand in interest expense in relation to the July Additional Secured Note.

On March 12, 2025, Soluna SW LLC (the “SW Borrower”), a Delaware limited liability company and subsidiary of Soluna SW Holdings LLC (“SW Holdings”, and together with the SW Borrower, the “SW Loan Parties”), a subsidiary of SDI, a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Company, entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Galaxy Loan Agreement”) with SW Holdings and Galaxy Digital LLC (the “Lender”).

 

The Galaxy Loan Agreement provides for a term loan facility in the principal amount of $5.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”). The Term Loan Facility bears interest at a rate of 15.0% per annum, subject to an increase of 5.0% (for a total of 20.0%) in the event an Event of Default as defined within the Galaxy Loan Agreement has occurred and is continuing. The Term Loan Facility matures on March 12, 2030 and includes scheduled payments over a five-year term. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred approximately $236 thousand and $277 thousand in interest expense in relation to the Term Loan Facility, which includes interest paid on the note and amortization of deferred financing costs.

 

The SW Borrower may voluntarily prepay all or part of the Term Loan Facility at any time together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid up to the date of prepayment. The SW Borrower shall prepay all or part of the Term Loan Facility with 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds (as defined therein) received upon the occurrence of (i) an Asset Sale or Casualty Event (each as defined therein), (ii) an Equity Issuance (as defined therein), (iii) an issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness (as defined therein), or (iv) an Extraordinary Receipt (as defined therein), each subject to certain exceptions. In addition, certain principal payments are subject to the payment of a premium amount equal to 50% of the remaining amount of interest payable on such principal amount through the scheduled maturity date, if paid on or prior to the 30-month anniversary of the closing date, and 25% of the remaining amount of interest payable on such principal amount through the scheduled maturity date, if paid after the 30-month anniversary of the closing date.

 

The Galaxy Loan Agreement includes certain restrictions (subject to certain exceptions outlined in the Galaxy Loan Agreement) on the ability of the SW Loan Parties and their subsidiaries to undertake certain activities, including to incur indebtedness and liens, enter into sale or lease-back transactions, merge or consolidate with other entities, dispose or transfer their assets, pay dividends or make distributions, make investments, make Restricted Payments (as defined therein), enter into burdensome agreements or transact with affiliates. In addition, the SW Loan Parties are subject to three financial covenants – a minimum debt service coverage ratio, a minimum current ratio, and cash in customer deposit account must equal or be greater than related customer liabilities. As of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is in compliance with all covenants in relation to the Galaxy Loan Agreement.

 

Proceeds of the Term Loan Facility will be used to issue a distribution to SW Holdings, the proceeds of which may be used to make a distribution to SDI.

 

In connection with the Galaxy Loan Agreement, on March 12, 2025, the SW Loan Parties and the Lender entered into a security agreement to secure the obligations under the Term Loan Facility by a lien on substantially all the assets and properties of SW Borrower and SW Holdings, subject to certain exceptions. The SW Borrower is the owner and operator of the Company’s Project Sophie data center.

 

 

In connection with the Galaxy Loan Agreement, on March 12, 2025, SDI and the Lender entered into a Limited Guarantee Agreement pursuant to which SDI guarantees the Loss Liabilities (as defined therein) and, after the occurrence of a Recourse Trigger Event (as defined therein), the obligations under the Loan Agreement.

 

Equipment Loan Agreement

 

On May 16, 2024, SDI SL Borrowing – 1, LLC, an affiliate of the Company (the “SDI Borrower”), entered into a loan agreement (the “Equipment Loan Agreement” or the “Loan”) with Soluna2 SLC Fund II Project Holdco LLC (the “Lender”, and collectively, the “Parties”). As further amended on February 28, 2025, the Equipment Loan Agreement provides for the Company to borrow, from time to time, up to $4.0 million, to be used to purchase necessary equipment for the progression of Project Dorothy 2 and Project Kati. Any loans made under the Equipment Loan Agreement have a maturity date of May 16, 2027 and will bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum. The Equipment Loan Agreement includes customary covenants for loans of this nature including financial reporting, monthly updates, event reporting, as well as conduct of business. In addition, the Equipment Loan Agreement contains a multiple on invested capital (“MOIC”) provision, which requires the Company to pay, in addition to principal and interest, an amount equal to the difference of (i) the greater of (a) the principal amount of the Loan being repaid plus all interest previously paid or simultaneously being paid to Lender in respect of such principal of the Loan, and (b) the principal amount of the Loan being repaid multiplied by three, minus (ii) the sum of the principal amount of the Loan being repaid plus all interest previously paid or simultaneously being paid to Lender in respect of such principal of the Loan.

 

On May 17, 2024, the SDI Borrower drew down $720 thousand of the Loan with the Lender. On July 22, 2024, the SDI Borrower satisfied and repaid the borrowing amount in full by issuing the Investor Class B Membership Interests in the Dorothy 2 project valued at three times the borrowing amount (i.e., $2.16 million). The redemption of debt through equity created approximately a $1.4 million loss on debt extinguishment for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

On March 21, 2025, the SDI Borrower drew down $250 thousand of the Loan with the Lender, in relation to Project Kati. In addition, on June 11, 2025, the SDI Borrower drew down an additional $269 thousand of the Loan with the Lender, in relation to Project Kati. The total amount of equipment loans of $519 thousand was outstanding as of June 30, 2025. The SDI Borrower shall repay the Loans under these Borrowing Requests with a different MOIC Payment than as defined in the Equipment Loan Agreement. The MOIC Payment for these Borrowing Requests only, shall be an amount equal to the difference of (i) the greater of (a) the principal amount of the Loan being repaid plus all interest previously paid or simultaneously being paid to Lender in respect of such principal of the Loan, and (b) the principal amount of the Loan being repaid multiplied by three and three tenths (3.3), minus (ii) the sum of the principal amount of the Loan being repaid plus all interest previously paid or simultaneously being paid to Lender in respect of such principal of the Loan. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $108 thousand in Accrued interest payable in relation to the MOIC and 15% interest accruing on the Loan that was outstanding.

 

Per ASC 835-30-S45-1, debt issuance costs related to line of credits should be recorded as an asset and amortized over the life of the line of credit agreement. As such, the Company recorded $62 thousand and $53 thousand within Prepaid expenses and other current assets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and $56 thousand and $75 thousand within Other assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, of which approximately $16 thousand and $30 thousand has been amortized and recorded within Interest Expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company has paid the remaining outstanding balance of $137 thousand, therefore fulfilling its debt obligation with Navitas.

Interest expense related to the Navitas Term Loan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $37 thousand and $100 thousand, respectively.

 

 

Convertible Notes

 

On October 25, 2021, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “October SPA”), the Company issued to certain accredited investors (the “Noteholders”) (i) secured convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $16.3 million for an aggregate purchase price of $15 million (collectively, the “October Secured Notes”), which were, subject to certain conditions, convertible at any time by the investors, into an aggregate of 1,776,073 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price per share of $9.18 and (ii) Class A, Class B and Class C common stock purchase warrants (collectively, the “October Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,776,073 shares of common stock, at an initial exercise price of $12.50, $15 and $18 per share, respectively. The October Warrants are legally detachable and can be separately exercised immediately for five years upon issuance, subject to applicable Nasdaq rules.

 

On July 19, 2022 and on September 13, 2022, the Company entered into an Addendum and Addendum Amendment which adjusted the terms such as maturity date, conversion prices, and the issuance of new warrants to the Noteholders. Pursuant to the Addendum and Addendum Amendment, the Company evaluated whether the new addendums qualified as debt modification or debt extinguishment. Based on ASC 470, Debt, the Company determined the Addendum and Addendum Amendment to fall under Debt Extinguishment treatment and the Company would be required to record the new debt at fair value, and in turn write off the existing debt on the Company’s books.

 

Following the debt extinguishment on July 19, 2022 as noted above, the Convertible Notes have been accounted for under the fair value method on a recurring basis upon issuance (e.g., upon execution of the Addendum) per guidance within ASC 480, and at each subsequent reporting period, with changes in fair value reported in earnings. See below for rollforward of the fair value of the convertible debt:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $2.7 million and $3.7 million of note conversions with the Noteholders, approximately $4.0 million and $2.8 million in revaluation losses, net in relation to fair value assessments of the convertible debt, and a 4% note extension in June 2024 increasing the note balance by approximately $325 thousand. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a fair value outstanding balance of approximately $7.9 million and a principal outstanding value of approximately $5.3 million. In addition, from July 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, there were approximately $5.3 million of note conversions with the Noteholders, and the Company incurred a revaluation gain of debt of approximately $2.6 million, and, as of December 31, 2024, the Convertible Notes were no longer outstanding.

 

The following table represents the significant and subjective fair value assumptions used for Convertible Notes during the year ended December 31, 2024. As the Convertible Notes were fully converted in fiscal year 2024, no assumptions were noted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

 

     Year Ended December 31, 2024  
Stock price  $ 2.886.09  
Conversion price  $ 2.303.78  
Volatility    80.0115 %
Risk-free interest rate    4.73- 5.46 %

 

There were two additional amendments in fiscal year 2023. On February 28, 2024, the Company and the Noteholders entered into a Fourth Amendment Agreement to amend the Notes, SPA and related agreements to facilitate future financings by the Company. In addition, the Company was permitted to unilaterally extend the maturity date of the Notes for two 3-Month extensions if prior to the then in effect maturity date the Company gives notice to the Noteholders and increases the principal amount of the Notes on the date of each such extension by two percent (2%) the principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the date of such extension.

 

 

In consideration of the foregoing, the Company:

 

  Reduced the conversion price of the Notes to $3.78 per share;
     
  The Noteholders received an aggregate of 850,000 three year warrants exercisable at $0.01 per share;
     
  An aggregate of 320,005 warrants held by the Noteholders had the exercise price reduced to $3.78 per share (the “$3.78 Warrants”); and
     
  An aggregate of 478,951 warrants held by the Noteholders had the exercise price reduced to $6.00 per share (the “$6.00 Repriced Warrants”). For every one $6.00 Repriced Warrant exercised by a Purchaser, such Purchaser shall receive 1.36 new five-year warrants with an exercise price of $0.01, 1.6 new five-year warrants with an exercise price of $4.20, and 1.6 new five-year warrants with an exercise price of $5.70.

 

In June 2024, pursuant to the Fourth Amendment Agreement, the Company exercised its right to extend the maturity date of the Notes for an additional six months, or until January 24, 2025, to enable the Company to continue to pursue its significant project development opportunities for Soluna Cloud, Dorothy 2, and other projects. The extension of the notes caused an increase in the convertible note balance of approximately $325 thousand and the extension fee was recorded within Other Expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

The effect of the additional penny warrants, $3.78 warrants, and the $6.00 repriced warrants including additional warrants if exercised with the Noteholders, created a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $5.8 million due to the fair value associated as of February 28, 2024. Such amounts were recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment and affected the Company’s warrant liability and additional paid in capital balance account. Due to the requirement of the shareholder approval associated with the Fourth Amendment, the warrants associated were initially treated as a liability. In addition, a warrant revaluation was done on March 31, 2024, which created a gain on revaluation associated with the warrant liability of approximately $1.5 million.

 

On May 30, 2024, shareholder approval was obtained removing the cap containment provision for the warrants, and as such, the liability accounting treatment was no longer required. Since all other criteria were met to be treated as equity, the Company adjusted the warrant liability as of the date of shareholder approval and reclassified balance to equity. As such, the Company accounted for the change in the fair value of the warrant liability as of the date of the shareholder approval (May 30, 2024), in connection with its loss on revaluation of the warrant of approximately $1.6 million.

 

Pursuant to additional agreements with holders of another 51,618 outstanding warrants, similar adjustments with those warrants, resulted in a total adjustment to 530,569 warrants. As the 51,618 warrants were not with the Noteholders, the treatment of $6.00 repriced warrants was recorded as a deemed dividend and adjusted the Company’s earnings per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2024. The fair value associated with the 51,618 warrants with non-Noteholders totaled approximately $386 thousand. On May 17, 2024, the Company permitted the holders of the Company’s Amended Class C Warrants, previously exercisable at $6 per share, to exercise such warrants at a reduced exercise price of $4 per share, provided that each such holder exercised at least 61.83% of their Amended Class C Warrants by the close of business on May 17, 2024. The Company also agreed to reduce the exercise price on all remaining Amended Class C Warrants. The adjustment in the exercise price, resulted in an additional deemed dividend which amounted to approximately $66 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2024, 529,161 of the Amended Class C warrants have been exercised by both the Noteholders and non-Noteholders, resulting in the issuance of 719,658 shares of $0.01 warrants, 846,657 shares of $4.20 warrants, and 846,657 shares of $5.70 warrants.

 

The following table represents the significant fair value assumptions used for warrants issued or repriced during the year ended December 31, 2024. No warrants were issued or repriced for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Exercise price  $0.01- 287.50 
Expected term in years   0.538.77 
Expected dividend yield   0.00%

As previously discussed in Footnote 1, the Company entered into the SEPA with YA on August 12, 2024. Access to the SEPA was subject to a number of conditions precedent including, but not limited to, various consents from the Company’s Note Holders. On October 1, 2024, the Noteholders entered into a Consent, Waiver, and Mutual Release Agreement (the “Master Consent”) which provides the following:

 

  consent to the Company’s entry into the SEPA;
  waiver of any rights of first refusal or participation rights in connection with the SEPA;
  standstill of the rights to exercise certain $0.01 warrants pursuant to the SPA;
  the right to prepay the convertible notes with a 20% premium;
  termination of the SPA and related agreements upon the full payoff of the convertible notes; and
  mutual limited release of claims between the Noteholders and the Company.

 

In return for these consents, the Company agreed to pay a $750 thousand waiver fee and to prepay to the remaining Note Holders the 20% premium for the prepayment of the Notes of approximately $625 thousand. Such amounts were recorded as within Other Expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued 2,512,581 shares of common stock for conversion of the debt, which includes the final conversion shares noted below.

 

On December 12, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with the remaining three Note Holders who held an outstanding principal balance as of December 12, 2024, pursuant to which the three remaining Note Holders elected to immediately convert all of the outstanding principal of certain convertible notes into shares of the Company’s common stock. The agreement satisfied the full outstanding debt owed to the remaining three Note Holders under the Convertible Notes. Following the conversion, 335,661 shares of common stock were issued to the Note Holders in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes, as amended. The Company recorded a debt inducement conversion expense of approximately $388 thousand within Other Expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2024. No further amounts are owed by the Company under the Convertible Notes as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025.

 

Line of Credit

 

On September 15, 2021, the Company entered into a $1.0 million unsecured line of credit with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), that will, among other things, allow the Company to request loans and to use the proceeds of such loans for working capital and other general corporate purposes (the “KeyBank facility”). The line of credit bears interest at a rate of Prime + 0.75% per annum. Accrued interest is due monthly and principal is due in full following KeyBank’s demand. The Company does not have any remaining balance outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025. The Company does not plan to draw down on the line of credit in the foreseeable future. In addition, future drawdowns require pre-approval by KeyBank.
