Additionally, on November 30, 2024, the Company entered into amendments to the Convertible Notes. The amendments to the Subsequent Convertible Note accelerated the borrowing date for the second tranche of $1 million in principal amount to December 2, 2024, which borrowing date had previously been no earlier than December 22, 2024.
The amendments also permitted SIV to reserve out of the proceeds of the second tranche under the Subsequent Convertible Note of approximately $670 thousand, representing the amount of principal and interest due from the Company to SIV on December 1, 2024, under the Initial Convertible Note.
The amendments to the Convertible Notes also provide SIV the option to convert all amounts outstanding under either Convertible Note into shares of Class A common stock at any time. Previously, the Initial Convertible Note only permitted conversion of interest when and as due, while the Subsequent Convertible Note only permitted conversion of outstanding amounts when and as due. The conversion price of amounts outstanding under the Initial Convertible Note remained unchanged at $7.40712. The conversion price of amounts outstanding under the Subsequent Convertible Note remained unchanged at $7.4088.
In connection with the borrowing of the second tranche under the Subsequent Convertible Note, the Company issued to SIV warrants to purchase approximately 463,223 shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price of $7.4088 per share, as originally required by the Subsequent Convertible Note.
The Company also agreed to register the resale by SIV of all of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and the warrants issued to SIV.
Neither the Subsequent Convertible Note nor the SIV Warrants can be converted or exercised if it would cause the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by SIV (together with its affiliates) to exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the conversion or exercise, as applicable. By written notice, SIV may, with the agreement of the Company, from time to time increase or decrease this ownership limitation to any other percentage.
The Subsequent Convertible Note requires SIV’s consent to take certain actions, such as purchasing assets outside the ordinary course of business, extending financing, making capital expenditures in excess of $100,000, repaying debts outside the ordinary course of business or investing in any entity or enterprise.
On March 3, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company had previously offered SIV a reduced conversion price of $2.12 per share of Class A common stock for the Initial Convertible Note. The current conversion price for the Subsequent Convertible Note is $7.4088. On May 16, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized offering SIV a reduced conversion price of $1.77 per share with respect to 112,576 shares of Class A common stock under the Initial Convertible Note, and thereafter with respect to up to 275,000 shares of Class A common stock under the Subsequent Convertible Note during the period beginning on May 19, 2025 and continuing until June 1, 2025.
On September 8, 2025, the Company and SIV entered into amendments to the Convertible Notes to lower the conversion price on the Convertible Notes to the lesser of $1.11 and a 10% discount to the most recent closing price on the date that a conversion notice is submitted (the “Convertible Notes Amendments”). In connection with the proposed Convertible Notes Amendments, the Company will issue warrants to purchase 2 million shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price of $1.11 (the “Additional SIV Warrants”).
Additionally, in the event that the Company borrows parri passu indebtedness on or after December 1, 2025, the Company is to give SIV warrants to purchase up to 10% of the total number of shares SIV has converted under both Convertible Notes after September 8, 2025, with the exercise price to correspond with the conversion price under the Convertible Notes at the time of the debt incurrence (the “Incentive Warrants”). Thereafter, the Company would continue to issue Incentive Warrants to purchase 10% of shares converted each time they are converted, each time the warrants having an exercise price equal to the corresponding conversion price.
