(“Peak One”). Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated February 7, 2023 (the “February 2023 Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and Peak One, the Debenture was sold to Peak One for a purchase price of $1,000,000, representing an original issue discount of ten percent (10%). 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, Peak One converted $730,000 of its principal balance into 40 shares of common stock of the Company. Such conversion was within the terms of the agreement with no gains or losses recognized on the transactions.

The Debenture matured twelve months from its date of issuance and bore interest at a rate of 8% per annum payable on the maturity date. The Debenture was convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the principal amount of the Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest at a conversion price equal to $19,200 (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar events and in the event the Company, at any time while the Debenture is outstanding, issues, sells or grants any option to purchase, or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of, or issues common stock or other securities convertible into, exercisable for, or otherwise entitle any person the right to acquire, shares of common stock, other than with respect to an Exempt Issuance, as defined in the Debenture, at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price. In the event of any such anti-dilutive event, the Conversion Price will be reduced at the option of the holder to such lower effective price of the dilutive event, subject to a floor price of $5,120, per share, unless and until the Company obtains shareholder approval for any issuance below such floor price. Upon entering into the January 2024 Purchase Agreement as described below, the Conversion Price was adjusted to $5,120, and then upon entering into the Inducement Agreement as described below, the Conversion Price was further adjusted to $170 (“Conversion Adjustments”).

In the event of any such anti-dilutive event, the exercise price will be reduced at the option of the holder to such lower effective price of the dilutive event, subject to a floor price of $5,120 per share, unless and until the Company obtains shareholder approval for any issuance below such floor price.

In addition, the initial fair value of the Peak Warrant amounted to $278,239 and the fair value of the restricted shares amounted to $76,000, both of which have been recorded as a debt discount and will be amortized over the effective rate method.

 

On January 11, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “January 2024 Purchase Agreement”) with Peak One, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue, in a private placement offering (the January Offering), upon the satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the January 2024 Purchase Agreement, two debentures to Peak One in the aggregate principal amount of $1,300,000.

The Peak Warrant #3 expires five years from its date of issuance. The Peak Warrant #3 is exercisable, at the option of the holder, at any time, for up to 29 of shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price equal to $6,780, subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar events, as well as anti-dilution price protection provisions that are subject to a floor price as set forth in the Peak Warrant #3. The Peak Warrant #3 provides for cashless exercise under certain circumstances.

The 1800 Diagonal Note was purchased by 1800 Diagonal for a purchase price of $130,000, representing an original issue discount of $19,500. A one-time interest charge of 10% was applied on the issuance date to the principal balance. Under the terms of the 1800 Diagonal Note, beginning on April 15, 2024, the Company is required to make nine monthly payments of accrued, unpaid interest and outstanding principal, subject to adjustment, in the amount of $18,272. The Company shall have a five-business day grace period with respect to each payment. Any amount of principal or interest on the 1800 Diagonal Note which is not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of 22% per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (the “Default Interest”). The Company has a right to accelerate payments or prepay in full at any time with no prepayment penalty.

 

Among other things, an event of default will be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to pay the principal or interest when due on the 1800 Diagonal Note, whether at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, if bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings are instituted by or against the Company or if the Company fails to maintain the listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the 1800 Diagonal Note will become immediately due and payable and the Company will be obligated to pay in satisfaction of its obligations under the 1800 Diagonal Note, an amount equal to 200% times the sum of the then outstanding principal amount of the 1800 Diagonal Note plus accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this 1800 Diagonal Note to the date of payment plus Default Interest, if any.

Firstfire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC

 

On February 12, 2025, the Company executed and issued a Promissory Note (the “Firstfire Note”) in favor of Firstfire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC (“Firstfire”) in the aggregate principal amount of $360,000 (the “Firstfire Principal”), and an accompanying Securities Purchase Agreement, executed on February 12, 2025 (the “Firstfire SPA”).

 

The Note was purchased by Firstfire for a purchase price of $300,000, representing an original issue discount of $60,000. The Note bears interest at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum, with the understanding that the first twelve months of interest under the Firstfire Note (equal to $54,000), shall be guaranteed and earned in full as of February 12, 2025. Any amount of Firstfire Principal or interest due under the Firstfire Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at eighteen percent (18%) per annum (“Firstfire Default Interest”). The Firstfire Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as explicitly set forth in the Note. In connection with the issuance of the Firstfire Note and the Firstfire SPA, the Company will issue to the lender common stock purchase warrants (the “Firstfire Warrant”), which shall be exercisable into 3,750 shares of Common Stock. The relative fair value of the Firstfire Warrants amounted to $158,883 and are recorded as a debt discount to the underlying Firstfire Note.

 

Firstfire will have the right, on any calendar day, at any time on or after the issue date, to convert all or any portion of the then-outstanding Firstfire Principal and interest (including any Firstfire Default Interest) into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company. The per share conversion price into which the principal, interest (including any Firstfire Default Interest) shall be equal to $78, subject to adjustment as provided in the Note (the “Firstfire Conversion Price”). If at any time the Firstfire Conversion Price for any conversion would be less than the par value of the common Stock, then at the sole discretion of the lender, the Firstfire Conversion Price may equal such par value for such conversion, and the conversion amount shall be increased to include Additional Principal (where “Additional Principal” means such additional amount to be added to the conversion amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of conversion shares issuable upon such conversion to equal the same number of conversion shares as would have been issued if the Firstfire Conversion Price had not been adjusted by the Lender to the par value price. The Lender shall be entitled to deduct $1,750 from the conversion amount in each notice of conversion to cover Lender’s fees associated with each notice of conversion. The Note may not be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock if the conversion would result in the Lender and its affiliates owning an aggregate of in excess of 4.99% of the then-outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

After an Event of Default, as defined in the Firstfire SPA, in addition to all other rights under the Firstfire Note, the Lender shall have the right to convert any portion of the Firstfire Note at any time at a price per share equal to the Alternate Price. The “Alternate Price” shall mean the lesser of (i) the applicable conversion price under the Note, (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the Event of Default, or (iii) $333.

 

The Company evaluated the conversion feature under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the embedded conversion option required bifurcation from the host debt instrument and separate accounting as a derivative liability measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. At issuance, the Company recorded the embedded derivative at its fair value of approximately $4.2 million net of allocated debt issue costs of approximately $98,000, with a corresponding debt discount of approximately $293,000.

 

The fair value of the embedded derivative was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which the Company determined to be the most appropriate valuation technique given the various settlement provisions. The embedded derivative is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. Key inputs to the model at issuance and settlement were as follows:

 

Input   At Issuance     At Settlement  
Stock price   $ 4,515     $ 2,356  
Conversion price   $ 416 - $333     $ 416  
Expected volatility     188 %     173 %
Risk-free interest rate     4.36 %     4.18 %
Expected term (years)     1.04       0.85  
Probability of default     5.00 %     0 %
Dividend yield     0 %     0 %

 

On April 18, 2025, the Firstfire Note was repaid in cash for total consideration of $360,000. Immediately prior to settlement, the Company remeasured the embedded derivative to its fair value of approximately $2.4 million, recognizing a gain on change in fair value of approximately $1.9 million. Upon settlement, the Company derecognized the carrying value of the Note, the unamortized debt discount, and the bifurcated derivative liability, and recognized a gain on settlement of $2.4 million, included in ‘gain on settlement of derivatives’ in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2025, no derivative liability related to the Firstfire Note remained outstanding. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance of this note was $-0-.

Among others, the following shall be considered events of default under the Tysadco Note, each an Event of Default as defined in the Tysadco SPA: if the Company fails to pay the Tysadco Principal or interest when due under the Tysadco Note; if the Company fails to issue the Tysadco Conversion Shares to Tysadco upon exercise by Tysadco of the conversion rights under the Note; or if the Company breaches any covenant, agreement, or other term or condition of the Tysadco Note or the accompanying Tysadco SPA. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in the Tysadco SPA, then the outstanding balance shall immediately increase to 125% of the outstanding balance immediately prior to the occurrence of the such Event of Default, and a daily penalty of $500 will accrue until the default is remedied.

 

If the Company has not obtained approval from the holders of the Company’s common stock, as required by applicable rules and regulation of Nasdaq, the Company shall not issue any number of shares of common stock under the Tysadco Note that would exceed 4.99% of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of the date of the Tysadco Note. Additionally, the Company shall not effect any conversion of the Tysadco Note, and the Lender shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Tysadco Note or receive shares of common stock as payment of interest hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of such interest payment, the Lender, together with any affiliates thereof, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest.

 

In connection with the issuance of the Tysadco Note and the Tysadco SPA, the Company will issue 294,000 shares of Common Stock (4,594 as adjusted for the September Stock Split) (the “Commitment Shares”) as additional consideration for the purchase of the Tysadco Note.

 

On September 11, 2025, the Company entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement with Tysadco Partners, LLC (“Tysadco”) to resolve all claims and disputes arising under the Promissory Note and the Securities Purchase Agreement, each dated February 25, 2025 (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), and to terminate the financing arrangement in its entirety. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued 51,563 shares of its common stock in full settlement and satisfaction of the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the note, totaling $575,000, and in exchange for a mutual release of all claims under the Transaction Documents, including the Company’s release from the remaining undrawn tranches under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

The share issuance was a negotiated settlement to extinguish the note and terminate the financing arrangement, rather than a conversion pursuant to the note’s conversion provisions; accordingly, the Company accounted for the transaction as an extinguishment of debt in accordance with ASC 470-50, and not as a conversion or induced conversion under ASC 470-20. The 51,563 shares issued were measured at their aggregate fair value of $4,648,282, based on the $101.13 per share closing price of the Company’s common stock on the September 11, 2025 settlement date. The Company derecognized the $575,000 carrying amount of the note (inclusive of accrued interest) and recognized a loss on extinguishment of $4,648,282, representing the excess of the fair value of the common stock issued over the carrying amount of the note, within loss on extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.

* This note is presented in “Short-term notes payable” for the year ended December 31, 2025, due to litigation between the Company and the lender as further described in Note 21.

 

The Company’s short-term notes payable had a weighted-average stated interest rate of 1.4% as of December 31, 2025. Several of these obligations are merchant cash advances that do not carry a stated interest rate; the cost of such advances is recognized as the excess of total scheduled remittances over the cash advanced and is amortized to interest expense over the repayment period. Giving effect to the imputed financing cost of these advances, the weighted-average effective interest rate on short-term notes payable was approximately 35.5% as of December 31, 2025.
