September 2025 Convertible Note
On September 25, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “September 2025 SPA”) with an investor (the “September 2025 Private Placement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell (i) a Junior Secured Convertible Note having an aggregate principal amount of $1.6 million (the “September 2025 Convertible Note”), (ii) warrants to purchase up to 81,847 shares of Class A common stock (the “September 2025 Warrants”), and (iii) warrants to purchase up to $4.0 million of additional September 2025 Convertible Notes and September 2025 Warrants (the “AIR Warrants”).
The September 2025 SPA provides that the Company will indemnify the investor for any claims and losses. This indemnification by the Company was an embedded derivative that required bifurcation and recognition as a derivative liability (“Indemnification Derivative”). The Indemnification Derivative instrument is recorded at fair value and marked-to-market each reporting period with changes in fair value being reflected in earnings. As of the issuance date and December 31, 2025, the Indemnification Derivative was valued at zero.
The September 2025 Convertible Note bears an annual interest rate of 8%. Unless earlier converted, principal and any accrued unpaid interest on the September 2025 Convertible Note are due at maturity in September 2026. The September 2025 Convertible Note, including interest accrued thereon, is convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the holder into shares of Class A common stock at a conversion price of $19.92 per share, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations provided for in the terms of the September 2025 Convertible Note. The September 2025 Convertible Note is a junior secured obligation of the Company and is secured by certain personal property of the Company.
The September 2025 Warrants have an exercise price of $24.99 per share. The September 2025 Warrants may be exercised at any time after issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The exercise of the September 2025 Warrants are subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations provided for in the terms of the September 2025 Warrants. The September 2025 Warrants meet the requirements for equity classification.
The Company received aggregate gross proceeds from the September 2025 Private Placement of approximately $1.5 million, before deducting estimated lender fees and debt issuance costs of $0.1 million paid by the Company.
The initial fair value of the AIR Warrants (discussed below) and the ELOC Pre-funded Warrants (see discussion in Note 9) exceed the net proceeds received from the September 2025 Private Placement. Therefore, upon allocating the net proceeds of the September 2025 Private Placement, no amounts were allocated to the September 2025 Warrants and the September 2025 Convertible Note was recorded at a 100% discount. The excess fair value of $1.4 million of the AIR Warrants and ELOC Pre-funded Warrants over the net proceeds received was recognized as a loss in other expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
The September 2025 Convertible Note can be prepaid in full at any time, subject to a prepayment fee of 10%. The September 2025 Convertible Note will accelerate and become immediately due upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due, failure to observe or perform covenants or agreements contained in the September 2025 Convertible Note, the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and unsatisfied judgments against the Company. The mandatory redemption of the September 2025 Convertible Note upon one of these events of default was an embedded
derivative that required bifurcation and recognition as a derivative liability (“September 2025 Default Redemption Derivative”). Furthermore, contingent interest related to these events of default was an embedded derivative also that required bifurcation and recognition as a derivative liability (“September 2025 Default Interest Derivative”). Both the September 2025 Default Redemption Derivative and the September 2025 Default Interest Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and marked-to-market each reporting period with changes in fair value being reflected in earnings. As of the issuance date and December 31, 2025, both the September 2025 Default Redemption Derivative and the September 2025 Default Interest Derivative were valued at zero.
The September 2025 Convertible Note also contains certain negative covenants, including prohibitions on the incurrence of indebtedness, liens, amendments to the Company’s organizational documents, dividends, redemption, related party transactions, and entry into any equity line of credit agreement or variable rate transactions other than an “at the market” offering of the Company’s Class A common stock.
As of December 31, 2025, the September 2025 Convertible Note has a carrying amount of $0.4 million, consisting of principal of $1.6 million and net unamortized discount of $1.2 million. The September 2025 Convertible Note has future scheduled maturities of $1.6 million in 2026. For the year ended December 31, 2025, interest recognized on the September 2025 Convertible Note totaled $0.5 million. This amount consists of cash interest expense of $0.04 million and non-cash amortization of debt discount of $0.4 million.
AIR Warrants
In connection with the September 2025 Private Placement, the Company issued the AIR Warrants. The AIR Warrants were exercisable by the holder immediately with a five-year term and may be exercised in tranches based on the trading volume and price of the Company’s Class A common stock. In addition, the Company may, at its discretion, deliver a call notice requiring the holder to exercise the AIR Warrants, in whole or in part (up to an amount not exceeding two times the average daily trading volume of the Company’s Class A common stock over the relevant period), provided that certain trading conditions are satisfied (including the five-day average trading price equaling or exceeding 125% of the original conversion price of the underlying notes). If the trading conditions are not met at the time of the call notice, the holder is not obligated to exercise; however, the Company may cancel any unexercised portion of the AIR Warrants (effectively terminating the remaining commitment) if the holder does not proceed with the investment upon such call. This call feature provides the Company with the ability to compel realization or cancellation under various market conditions.
The AIR Warrants are classified as a liability under ASC Topic 480 as they embody a conditional obligation for the Company to transfer assets through the settlement of the underlying convertible notes.
The AIR Warrants were initially measured at a fair value of $1.9 million on the issuance date, with a corresponding allocation from the proceeds of the September 2025 Private Placement, with the excess fair value of the AIR Warrants over the September 2025 Private Placement proceeds recognized in earnings. The AIR Warrants liability is recorded at fair value and marked-to-market each reporting period with changes in fair value being reflected in earnings. The Company determined the fair value of the AIR Warrants at issuance using two different approaches. Under the first approach, the instruments underlying the AIR Warrants are assumed to have value equal to proceeds received that would have been received upon exercise of the AIR Warrants and, under the second approach, the instruments underlying the AIR Warrants were valued using a convertible bond pricing model for the underlying convertible note and a BSM option pricing model for the underlying common warrants. The fair value was then determined based on the intrinsic value: the difference between the fair value of the instruments underlying the AIR
Warrants and the proceeds that would be received upon exercise of the AIR Warrants. The following inputs were used in the convertible bond and BSM option pricing models:

May 2025 Loan
On May 30, 2025, the Company and J.J. Astor & Co. entered into a loan agreement (the “May 2025 Loan”) pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $1.5 million in two tranches of $0.75 million each (the first tranche referred to as the “Initial Tranche” and the second as the “Second Tranche”) and paid debt issuance costs of $0.2 million. The May 2025 Loan has a maturity date of March 6, 2026, and is payable in 40 weekly installments of $25 thousand, with at least 10% in cash and the remainder in shares at a conversion price of $30.35 per share. The May 2025 Loan can be prepaid in full at any time, subject to a prepayment fee of 120% of the outstanding principal plus costs.
Amounts borrowed under the May 2025 Loan are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company. Upon event of default, amounts owing under the May 2025 Loan increase by 120% and are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the four lowest volume weighted average closing prices of the Class A common stock during the 20 trading days immediately prior to conversion. The Company elected the FVO for recognition of the May 2025 Loan as permitted under ASC Topic 825.
In addition, in connection with the May 2025 Loan, the Company agreed to issue J.J. Astor & Co. warrants to purchase up to 53,386 shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price of $30.35 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Initial Tranche Warrants”), comprising 26,693 warrants for each tranche. The Initial Tranche Warrants had a fair value of $0.6 million. The warrants are fully vested and expire five years from the date of issuance. The Company determined the fair value of the Initial Tranche Warrants by using a BSM option pricing model, with the following assumptions:
Expected term (years)5.00

Dividend yield0.00 %
On June 17, 2025, the Company and J.J. Astor & Co. entered into an amendment to the May 2025 Loan (the “June 2025 Loan Amendment”). The June 2025 Loan Amendment, among other things, revised the conditions for funding the Second Tranche to occur within three business days after the effectiveness of a resale registration statement, subject to Nasdaq listing maintenance, a stock price of not less than $22.31, a market capitalization of not less than $6.7 million, and trading volume conditions. It also reduced the conversion price on both tranches to the lesser of the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock June 2025 Loan Amendment date and the closing price prior to the Second Tranche issuance. Additionally, the June 2025 Loan Amendment introduced a cash make-whole payment upon conversion equal to the difference between the conversion price and the lower of the closing price on conversion or the lowest volume weighted average closing price over 20 prior trading days. If not paid in cash, the Company will issue shares equal to the make-whole amount divided by the make-whole price. If the Company completes an equity offering sufficient to repay the Initial Tranche before the Second Tranche funding
date, the obligation to issue the Second Tranche is suspended, with a $0.1 million termination fee and issuance of warrants for 26,693 shares of Class A common stock (the “Second Tranche Warrants”).
The May 2025 Loan contains customary events of default, upon which the outstanding obligations may be accelerated. The loan ranks senior to unsecured indebtedness. The Company was in compliance with all covenants prior to extinguishment of the May 2025 Loan on July 1, 2025.
On July 1, 2025, the Company prepaid $1.0 million, inclusive of the $0.1 million termination fee, in order to extinguish the May 2025 Loan. In addition, in relation to the extinguishment of the May 2025 Loan on July 1, 2025, the 26,693 Second Tranche Warrants were issued with an exercise price of $20.17 per share. The Second Tranche Warrants had a fair value of $0.4 million, which was included in the measurement of loss on extinguishment of the May 2025 Loan. The Second Tranche Warrants were exercisable immediately after issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The Company determined the fair value of the Second Tranche Warrants by using a BSM option pricing model, with the following assumptions:
Expected term (years)5.00
Stock price$20.17 
Volatility90.00 %
Risk-free rate3.84 %
Dividend yield0.00 %
The Company recognized a $0.5 million loss on extinguishment in the consolidated statements of operations related to the May 2025 Loan.
AGP Convertible Promissory Note
On May 13, 2025, the Company entered into an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “May 2025 Convertible Note”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“AGP”) for a principal amount of $1.2 million, issued in exchange for AGP’s services in facilitating the issuance of equity securities under the MSA with VLD (see Note 9). The May 2025 Convertible Note bears interest at 4.5% per annum and matures on November 13, 2026, unless earlier converted or prepaid. AGP may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a conversion price of $29.81 per share, based on the closing price on May 9, 2025, subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends, or similar events. At maturity, all outstanding principal and accrued interest are payable in cash or, at AGP’s option, in shares of Class A common stock at the conversion price. The Company may prepay the May 2025 Convertible Note in whole or in part at any time without penalty.
The May 2025 Convertible Note is classified as a liability under ASC Topic 718, as it was issued to a non-employee for services, and is remeasured at fair value at each reporting period until settlement, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as part of operating expenses. The note represents payment for legal services incurred in relation to the VLD MSA. Upon issuance, the Company recognized $0.3 million of legal expense related to the May 2025 Convertible Note in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
The May 2025 Convertible Note contains customary events of default, upon which the outstanding obligations may be accelerated. The note is unsecured and ranks pari passu with the Company’s other unsecured indebtedness. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2025.
On June 17, 2025, the Company and AGP executed a letter agreement (the “June 2025 Note Amendment”) modifying the terms of the May 2025 Convertible Note. The June 2025 Note Amendment provided that a new convertible promissory note with a reduced principal amount of $0.5 million (the “Amended Note”) will replace the May 2025 Convertible Note. AGP agreed to waive any claim or recourse with respect to the $0.7 million differential between the May 2025 Convertible Note and the Amended Note. The Amended Note would retain substantially similar terms to the May 2025 Convertible Note, including the interest rate, maturity, conversion price, and conversion mechanics, with the only change being the reduction of the principal from $1.2 million to $0.5 million. The June 2025 Note Amendment was accounted for as a modification, with no change to the accounting treatment, as the note remains liability-classified and continues to be remeasured at fair value at each reporting period. No additional costs or premiums were recognized.
December 2024 Loan
On December 13, 2024, the Company and J.J. Astor & Co. entered into a loan agreement (the “December 2024 Loan”) pursuant to which the Company borrowed $2.0 million and paid debt issuance costs of $0.3 million. The December 2024 Loan had a maturity date of September 19, 2025, and was payable in 40 weekly installments of $68 thousand. The December 2024 Loan could be prepaid at any time on or before January 13, 2025, for $2.4 million and at any time thereafter through the maturity date for $2.7 million.
Amounts borrowed under the December 2024 Loan are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company. Upon event of default, amounts owing under the December 2024 Loan are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at a conversion price of $105.67 per share prior to May 5, 2025, and thereafter the conversion price will be reduced to 80% of the average of the four lowest volume weighted average closing prices of the Class A common stock during the 20 trading days immediately prior to conversion.
In addition, in connection with the December 2024 Loan, the Company agreed to issue J.J. Astor & Co. warrants to purchase up to 1,601 shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price of $105.67 per share (the “December 2024 Wolverine Warrants”). The December 2024 Wolverine Warrants had a relative value of $0.1 million which was accounted for as an additional debt issuance cost for the December 2024 Loan. The warrants are fully vested, and expire five years from the date of issuance. The Company determined the fair value of the December 2024 Wolverine Warrants by using a BSM option pricing model, with the following assumptions:
Expected term (years)5.01
Stock price$105.67 
Volatility100.00 %
Risk-free rate4.25 %
Dividend yield0.00 %
On December 18, 2024, the Company prepaid $2.4 million in order to extinguish the December 2024 Loan. The Company recognized a $0.8 million loss on extinguishment in the consolidated statements of operations related to the December 2024 Loan.
In connection with the December 2024 Loan, the Company agreed to issue J.J. Astor & Co. a second warrant that is exercisable and issuable upon certain customary events of default to purchase up to 16,007 shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of the Class A common stock as traded in the applicable trading market on the date of the event of default, subject to adjustment (the “Default Warrants”). The Default Warrants were an embedded derivative that required bifurcation and recognition as a derivative liability (the “Default Warrant Derivative”). The Default Warrant Derivative instrument is recorded at fair value and marked‑to‑market each reporting period with changes in fair value being reflected in earnings. As of the issuance date, and immediately prior to extinguishment of the December 2024 Loan on December 18, 2024, the Default Warrant Derivative was valued at zero.
SIV Convertible Promissory Notes
On July 12, 2024, the Company and Space Infrastructure Ventures (“SIV”) entered into a secured convertible promissory note (the “July 2024 Convertible Note”) pursuant to which the Company borrowed $2.3 million as of September 26, 2024. The July 2024 Convertible Note bears an annual interest rate of 15%. Principal on the July 2024 Convertible Note was originally to be re-paid in four equal payments on a quarterly basis, commencing on December 1, 2024, and maturing on September 1, 2025, at which time all accrued interest is due.
Amounts borrowed under the July 2024 Convertible Note are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company. In lieu of cash payments of accrued interest, SIV, in its sole discretion, may elect to receive shares of Class A common stock at an original conversion price of $132.27 per share. On the maturity date, subject to the satisfaction of applicable legal and regulatory conditions, all outstanding obligations under the July 2024 Convertible Note automatically convert into Class A common stock at the conversion price.
The July 2024 Convertible Note requires SIV’s consent to take certain actions, such as increasing compensation, purchasing assets, extending financing, making capital expenditures, repaying debts outside the ordinary course of business or investing in any entity or enterprise.
The July 2024 Convertible Note can be prepaid in full at any time, subject to a prepayment penalty fee of 10%. The July 2024 Convertible Note will accelerate and become immediately due upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default, including failure to pay amounts owing when due and/or certain events involving a discontinuation of our business or certain types of proceedings involving insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership and the like, or a change of control of Momentus. Contingent interest related to these events of default was an embedded derivative that required bifurcation and recognition as a derivative liability (“July 2024 Default Interest Derivative”). The July 2024 Default Interest Derivative instrument is recorded at fair value and marked-to-market each reporting period with changes in fair value being reflected in earnings. As of the issuance date, December 31, 2024, and upon extinguishment at final maturity of the July 2024 Convertible Note on December 1, 2025, the July 2024 Default Interest Derivative was valued at zero.
On October 24, 2024, the Company and SIV entered into a secured convertible promissory note (the “October 2024 Convertible Note” and, collectively with the July 2024 Convertible Note, the “SIV Convertible Notes”) pursuant to which the Company borrowed $3.0 million in two tranches, consisting of (i) an initial loan in the principal amount of $2.0 million, and (ii) up to an additional $1.0 million in principal amount which could be borrowed from December 2, 2024 through February 14, 2025. Borrowings under the October 2024 Convertible Note bear interest at 15% per annum. The October 2024 Convertible Note has a maturity date of October 24, 2025, at which time all principal and accrued interest is due. The Company paid debt issuance costs of $0.1 million in relation to borrowing $2.0 million under the first tranche of the October 2024 Convertible Note.
As a third-party debt issuance cost related to the October 2024 Convertible Note, the Company agreed to issue investor warrants to purchase up to 20,009 shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price of $143.69 per share (the “Investor Warrants”). The Investor Warrants had a fair value of $2.0 million which was as accounted for as debt issuance costs allocated between two tranches of the October 2024 Convertible Note; $1.3 million was allocated to the first tranche and $0.7 million was allocated to the second tranche. The investor may not exercise the Investor Warrants prior to April 24, 2025, and the Investor Warrants will expire April 24, 2030. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants by using a BSM option pricing model, with the following assumptions:
Expected term (years)5.50
Stock price$132.27 
Volatility97.50 %
Risk-free rate4.05 %
Dividend yield0.00 %
Amounts borrowed under the October 2024 Convertible Note are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company. At any time after the date that is six months after the original issuance date of the October 2024 Convertible Note, SIV, in its sole discretion, may convert some or all of the outstanding obligations under the October 2024 Convertible Note into shares of Class A common stock at an original conversion price of $132.27 per share.
In addition, in connection with the first tranche of the October 2024 Convertible Note, the Company agreed to issue SIV warrants to purchase up to 15,124 shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price of $132.27 per share (the “October 2024 SIV Warrants”). The October 2024 SIV Warrants had a relative value of $0.8 million which was as accounted for as an additional debt issuance cost for the October 2024 Convertible Note. SIV may not exercise the October 2024 SIV Warrants prior to April 24, 2025, and the October 2024 SIV Warrants will expire April 24, 2030. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants by using a BSM option pricing model, with the following assumptions:
Expected term (years)5.44
Stock price$157.44 
Volatility97.50 %
Risk-free rate4.33 %
Dividend yield0.00 %
Neither the October 2024 Convertible Note nor the October 2024 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 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. Conversion of the October 2024 Convertible Note and exercise of the October 2024 SIV Warrants are also subject to compliance with applicable Nasdaq rules, and if shareholder approval is required the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approval.
The October 2024 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 $0.1 million, repaying debts outside the ordinary course of business or investing in any entity or enterprise.
The October 2024 Convertible Note can be prepaid in full at any time, subject to a prepayment fee of 10%. The October 2024 Convertible Note will accelerate and become immediately due upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default, including failure to pay amounts owing when due and/or certain events involving a discontinuation of our business or certain types of proceedings involving insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership and the like, or a change of control of the Company. Contingent interest related to these events of default was an embedded derivative that required bifurcation and recognition as a derivative liability (“October 2024 Default Interest Derivative”). The October 2024 Default Interest Derivative instrument is recorded at fair value and marked‑to-market each reporting period with changes in fair value being reflected in earnings. As of the issuance date, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2025, the October 2024 Default Interest Derivative was valued at zero.
In November 2024, the Company amended the SIV Convertible Notes (the “November 2024 Amendment”). The November 2024 Amendment, among other things, accelerated the borrowing date for the second tranche of the October 2024 Convertible Note, for which the Company immediately borrowed the $1.0 million available under the second tranche, and provided that amounts owed under both the July 2024 Convertible Note and the October 2024 Convertible Note may be converted to Class A common stock at any time. The November 2024 Amendment was accounted for as an extinguishment of both of the SIV Convertible Notes. The Company recognized a $3.2 million loss on extinguishment in the consolidated statements of operations related to the November 2024 Amendment, resulting from the difference between the carrying value and reacquisition price of the July 2024 Convertible Note and the first tranche of the October 2024 Convertible Note. The Company recognized an aggregate debt premium of $1.2 million related to the July 2024 Convertible Note and the first tranche of the October 2024 Convertible Note as a result. Furthermore, the Company recognized an additional $0.3 million loss on extinguishment in the consolidated statements of operations for a debt premium resulting from the difference between the proceeds received and fair value of the second tranche of the October 2024 Convertible Note.
In addition, in connection with the November 2024 Amendment, the Company issued to SIV warrants to purchase up to 10,828 shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price of $132.27 per share (the “December 2024 SIV Warrants”). The December 2024 SIV Warrants had a relative value of $0.5 million which was as accounted for as an additional debt issuance cost for the second tranche of the October 2024 Convertible Note. SIV was prohibited to exercise the December 2024 SIV Warrants prior to April 24, 2025, and the December 2024 SIV Warrants will expire April 24, 2030. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants by using a BSM option pricing model, with the following assumptions:
Expected term (years)5.38
Stock price$139.94 
Volatility97.50 %
Risk-free rate4.08 %
Dividend yield0.00 %
The Company capitalized cash debt issuance costs of $0.1 million in relation to the November 2024 Amendment. The debt issuance costs, including $0.7 million allocated from the Investor Warrants and $0.5 million related to the December 2024 SIV Warrants, and $0.3 million debt premium for the second tranche of the October 2024 Convertible Note were amortized over the term of the October 2024 Convertible Note, until the September 2025 Amendment discussed below, using an effective interest rate of 348%. The debt premium of $0.7 million related to the first tranche of the October 2024 Convertible Note was amortized over the term of the October 2024 Convertible Note, prior to the September 2025 Amendment, using an effective interest rate of (18)%.
On March 3, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a reduction in the conversion price for the July 2024 Convertible Note from $132.27 per share to $37.84 per share during the period beginning on March 3, 2025, and continuing until there are no further obligations outstanding under the July 2024 Convertible Note. The
reduction in the conversion price for the July 2024 Convertible Note was accounted for as an extinguishment. The Company recognized a $0.1 million gain on extinguishment in the consolidated statements of operations related to this extinguishment, resulting from the difference between the carrying value and reacquisition price of the July 2024 Convertible Note. The Company recognized a debt premium of $0.2 million related to the July 2024 Convertible Note, which was amortized over the term of the July 2024 Convertible Note, prior to the September 2025 Amendment, using an effective interest rate of (25)%.
On May 16, 2025, the Company offered SIV the opportunity to convert amounts outstanding under the July 2024 Convertible Note, at a reduced conversion price of $31.59 per share, into up to 6,307 shares of Class A common stock and, thereafter, to convert amount outstanding under the October 2024 Convertible Note, at a reduced conversion price of $31.59 per share. Pursuant to this offer, and as part of the Company’s May 2025 contractual repayment, on May 20, 2025, SIV converted $0.2 million of principal of the July 2024 Convertible Note into 6,307 shares of Class A common stock at a conversion price of $31.59 per share. The conversion was accounted for as a partial extinguishment of the July 2024 Convertible Note, resulting in a $0.01 million gain on extinguishment in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition to the $0.2 million of principal converted into equity, the Company repaid $0.3 million of principal in cash, and postponed $0.1 million of payments, including $0.06 million of principal and $0.04 million of interest, to the following quarter. The postponement was accounted for as a modification of the July 2024 Convertible Note. SIV did not convert any amounts outstanding under the October 2024 Convertible Note pursuant to this offer.
On September 8, 2025, the Company amended the SIV Convertible Notes (the “September 2025 Amendment”). The September 2025 Amendment, among other things, extended the maturity date of the July 2024 Convertible Note and the October 2024 Convertible Note to December 1, 2025, and March 1, 2026, respectively. As a result of the September 2025 Amendment, the $2.7 million outstanding principal amount of the October 2024 Convertible Note is payable in two tranches, with the first tranche of $1.0 million due on December 1, 2025, and the remaining $1.7 million, plus unpaid accrued interest, due at maturity on March 1, 2026. The September 2025 Amendment further changed the conversion price of both of the SIV Convertible Notes to an amount equal to the lower of (i) $19.81 per share and (ii) a 10% discount to the closing price of the Class A common stock on the day prior to each conversion, but in no event lower than $3.57 per share. The September 2025 Amendment was accounted for as an extinguishment of both of the SIV Convertible Notes. The Company recognized a $2.4 million loss on extinguishment in the consolidated statements of operations related to the September 2025 Amendment, resulting from the difference between the carrying value and reacquisition price of the SIV Convertible Notes.
In addition, in connection with the September 2025 Amendment, the Company issued to SIV warrants to purchase up to 112,045 shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price of $19.81 per share (the “September 2025 SIV Warrants”). The September 2025 SIV Warrants had a fair value of $1.7 million which was included in measurement of the September 2025 Amendment loss on extinguishment. The September 2025 SIV Warrants were exercisable immediately after issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The Company determined the fair value of the September 2025 SIV Warrants by using a BSM option pricing model, with the following assumptions:
Expected term (years)5.00
Stock price$21.42 
Volatility87.50 %
Risk-free rate3.57 %
Dividend yield0.00 %
Furthermore, in connection with the September 2025 Amendment, the Company also agreed to amend each of the October 2024 SIV Warrants and December 2024 SIV Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 25,951 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $132.27 per share and a termination date of April 24, 2030 (the “SIV Modified Warrants”). The SIV Modified Warrants were amended on September 8, 2025, to have a reduced exercise price of $19.81 per share. The Company estimated the fair value of the SIV Modified Warrants immediately before and after modification using the BSM option pricing model and determined an incremental increase in fair value of approximately $0.2 million. The incremental change in fair value of the SIV Modified Warrants was included in
measurement of the September 2025 Amendment loss on extinguishment. The Company determined the incremental fair value of the SIV Modified Warrants by using a BSM option pricing model, with the following assumptions:

The Company capitalized cash debt issuance costs of $0.03 and recognized a debt premium of $0.3 million on the October 2024 Convertible Note in relation to the September 2025 Amendment. The net debt premium of $0.3 million was being amortized over the term of the October 2024 Convertible Note, until the December 2025 Amendment discussed below, using effective interest rates of (7)% and (34)% for the first and second tranches of the October 2024 Convertible Note, respectively. The Company also recognized a $0.1 million debt discount on the July 2024 Convertible Note in relation to the September 2025 Amendment. The debt discount was being amortized over the term of the July 2024 Convertible Note, until extinguishment in December 2025, using an effective interest rate of 103%.
The September 2025 Amendment permits the Company to incur up to $4.0 million of indebtedness on or after December 1, 2025, that is pari passu with the unpaid balance of the SIV Convertible Notes, provided that the Company issues to SIV warrants to purchase up to 10% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock SIV has converted under both of the SIV Convertible Notes after September 8, 2025, with the exercise price per share to correspond with the conversion price applicable under the SIV Convertible Notes at the time of the debt incurrence. Thereafter, the Company will continue to issue to SIV warrants to purchase shares of Class A common equal to 10% of the shares converted from time to time under the SIV Convertible Notes, with the warrants having an exercise price equal to the corresponding conversion price at the time of issuance.
On December 5, 2025, the Company amended the October 2024 Convertible Note (the “December 2025 Amendment”). The December 2025 Amendment, among other things, deferred the first payment tranche of $1.0 million principal, originally due December 1, 2025, to May 1, 2026, and all remaining accrued unpaid interest, originally due March 1, 2026, to May 1, 2026. It also delayed the date on or after which the Company may incur up to $4.0 million of additional indebtedness pari passu with the October 2024 Convertible Note from December 1, 2025, to March 1, 2026.
In addition, in connection with the December 2025 Amendment, the Company issued to SIV warrants to purchase up to 13,446 shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price of $14.10 per share (the “December 2025 SIV Warrants”). The December 2025 SIV Warrants had a fair value of $0.1 million which was accounted for as a debt modification cost for the October 2024 Convertible Note. The December 2025 SIV Warrants are exercisable immediately after issuance and expire five years from the date of issuance. The Company determined the fair value of the December 2025 SIV Warrants by using a BSM option pricing model, with the following assumptions:
Expected term (years)5.00
Stock price$14.28 
Volatility82.50 %
Risk-free rate3.72 %
Dividend yield0.00 %
The Company recognized $0.1 million of debt issuance costs related to the December 2025 SIV Warrants in addition to an unamortized debt premium of $0.1 million on the first tranche of the October 2024 Convertible Note. The net debt discount of $0.04 million is being amortized over the term of the October 2024 Convertible Note using
effective interest rates of 13% and 27% for the first and second tranches of the October 2024 Convertible Note, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company converted $1.2 million of principal and $0.3 million of accrued interest on the July 2024 Convertible Note and the October 2024 Convertible Note into 77,087 shares of Class A common stock. Other than the conversion on May 20, 2025 discussed above, the conversions were accounted for under ASC Sub-Topic 470-20, with no gain or loss recognized. The Company paid $0.1 million to pay off the July 2024 Convertible Note in December 2025.
As of December 31, 2025, the October 2024 Convertible Note has a carrying value of $2.4 million, consisting of principal of $2.4 million, net unamortized discount of $0.03 million, and accrued interest of $0.3 million. The October 2024 Convertible Note has future scheduled maturities of $2.4 million in 2026. For the year ended December 31, 2025, interest recognized on the SIV Convertible Notes totaled $0.1 million. This amount consists of cash interest expense of $0.5 million partially offset by non-cash amortization of net debt premiums of $0.4 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024, interest recognized on the SIV Convertible Notes totaled $0.2 million. This amount consists of cash interest expense of $0.1 million partially offset by non-cash amortization of net debt discounts of $0.1 million.
Term Loan
On February 22, 2021, the Company entered into a Term Loan and Security Agreement (the “Term Loan”) with Western Technology Investment which provided the Company with up to $40.0 million in borrowing capacity at an annual interest rate of 12.0%. The Company borrowed $25.0 million of the Term Loan at inception of the agreement on March 1, 2021. The remaining $15.0 million of borrowing capacity is no longer available as the Company did not achieve certain milestones by the June 30, 2021, deadline. The repayment terms of the Term Loan provide for interest-only payments from March 1, 2021, through February 28, 2022.
Under the original terms, the principal amount was due and payable on March 1, 2022. However, during January 2022 the Company exercised its option to pay back the principal amount of the Term Loan over two years beginning on March 1, 2022, and ending on February 28, 2024.
The Company allocated the proceeds from the Term Loan agreement to the note and warrants issued in conjunction with the Term Loan comprising the financing agreement based on the relative fair value of the individual securities on the February 22, 2021, closing date of the agreements. The discount attributable to the note, an aggregate of $15.8 million, primarily related to the value of the warrant liability with immaterial issuance costs, was amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the note, originally maturing on March 1, 2022, but amended to being repaid over two years, recorded as interest expense. Because the discount on the note exceeds 62.6% of its initial face value, and because the discount is amortized over the period from issuance to maturity, the calculated effective interest rate up until January 2022 was 126.0%.
As a result of the exercised extended repayment schedule, the unamortized discount and issuance costs were recast over the updated term of the loan and resulted in a recalculated effective interest rate of 28.2%. Interest expense amortization related to the Term Loan was zero and $0.05 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
In January 2024, the Company repaid the remaining principal balance of the Term Loan.
