Ethos Management Inc.

 

In January 2023, the Company entered into a financing agreement with Ethos Asset Management Inc. (the “Ethos Loan” or “Ethos”) in the principal amount of up to $10 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Ethos Loan, the Company may draw down financing proceeds equal to $833,333 each month beginning in April 2023, up to the $10 million amount. Interest associated with the Ethos Loan is fixed at 4% per annum and has a three-year grace period for principal and interest payments. Annual principal and interest payments will commence in 2027 and continue through 2034. As a condition to funding, the Company provided Ethos with a $1,875,000 deposit as collateral (the “Deposit Collateral”) for the note.

 

 

The Ethos Loan stipulates that fundings should happen approximately every 30 banking days, subject to Ethos completing periodic internal audits to ensure the Company was in compliance with the terms of the loan agreement. In August 2023, Ethos informed the Company that unrelated to the Company, Ethos was undergoing a routine audit of its portfolio, and pending the close of the audit, borrowers may experience delays in drawing on funds when requested. In February 2024, due to the lack of additional fundings and in accordance with the terms of the Ethos Loan, the Company sent Ethos a notice of termination for materially breaching the Ethos Loan agreement. Based on the termination for default clause in the Ethos Loan, the Company was entitled to retain all funds disbursed by Ethos and Ethos must release the Deposit Collateral. At the date of the Ethos Loan termination the principal and accrued interest owed on the Ethos Loan was $2,383,059 and $81,560, respectively. As a result of the Ethos Loan termination, the outstanding principal and accrued interest was offset by the Deposit Collateral leaving $589,619, which is included in Accrued and other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively (See Note 7 – Accrued and Other Current Liabilities).

 

Mercedes-Benz

 

In November 2020, the Company entered into a $59,545, 5.90% annual interest rate note payable with Mercedez-Benz for a delivery van. The note matures on November 20, 2026, and is secured by the van. The Company makes a monthly payment of $908, which includes both principal and interest. The outstanding principal on the note at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was $14,805 and $19,733, respectively.
