15% Senior PIK Notes
On September 20, 2022, the Company entered into separate Securities Purchase Agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued its Senior PIK Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3.5 million. The Company received net proceeds of $2.9 million, after deducting fees and expenses of approximately $0.6 million.
The Senior PIK Notes bore interest at 15% per annum, paid in arrears quarterly by payment in kind through the issuance of additional Senior PIK Notes (“PIK Interest”). The Senior PIK Notes matured on April 1, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). Commencing November 1, 2023, the Company was required to pay the holders of the Senior PIK Notes and on each one-month anniversary thereof an equal amount until the outstanding principal balance has been paid in full on the Maturity Date. If the Senior PIK Notes were repaid in the first year, the Company was required to pay the holders the outstanding principal balance, excluding any increases as a result of PIK Interest, multiplied by 1.15. Payment of the Senior PIK Notes was past due on December 31, 2024, as more fully discussed below. The Company failed to make the payments due on November 1, 2023 and on each one-month anniversary thereof, which constituted an event of default under the Senior PIK Notes. As a result of the event of default, the interest rate of the Senior PIK Notes increased from 15% per annum (compounded quarterly on each December 20, March 20, June 20 and September 20) to 22% per annum (compounded annually and computed on the basis of a 360-day year). In addition, the holders of the Senior PIK Notes had the right, among other remedies, to accelerate the Maturity Date and declare all indebtedness under the Senior PIK Notes due and payable at 130% of the outstanding principal balance.
As noted, as of December 31, 2024, the Senior PIK Notes were in default and the Company did not have the financial ability to correct this default. To resolve the default of the Senior PIK Notes and transition the Senior PIK Note from debt to equity, the Company asked the Senior PIK Note holders to consider certain amendments to their Notes. On October 18, 2024, the Company received the approval of over 50.01% of the holders of the Senior PIK Notes based on the Aggregate Original Principal Amount (as defined in the Senior PIK Notes) to enter into the 2024 PIK Notes Amendment, under which the Senior PIK Notes would be exchanged for the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock. Under the 2024 PIK Notes Amendment, the Senior PIK Notes (not including accrued and unpaid Interest (as defined in the Senior PIK Notes) which was waived as part of the automatic exchange) were automatically exchanged into a number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the Original Principal Amount (as defined in the Senior PIK Notes) divided by the Stated Value ($5.4 million on the date of the exchange) were exchanged into Series B Preferred Stock, cancelled and satisfied in full. The Series B Preferred Stock is more fully discussed in Note 12. ) of Series B Preferred Stock, or shares of Series B Preferred Stock Upon the automatic exchange, all Senior PIK Notes (including all accrued and unpaid interest) (which total value was $
