Notes Payable

 

Related Party Promissory Note Payable

 

On December 28, 2024, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note with Grafiti LLC (the “Grafiti Note”) for an aggregate principal sum of $2,500,000, bearing interest at 10% per annum, for funding working capital needs and payment of liabilities. On March 31, 2025, the Company and Grafiti LLC amended the Grafiti Note to increase the aggregate principal to $3,000,000 and extend the maturity date to December 31, 2025. The Company and Grafiti LLC executed an additional amendment, effective December 31, 2025, to further extend the maturity date to June 30, 2026.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received $1,007,000 under the Grafiti Note and repaid $104,883 of the principal under the Grafiti Note, leaving a principal balance of $2,792,117 as of December 31, 2025, with the amount available under the Grafiti Note of $207,883 as of that date. On December 31, 2025, the Company paid the accrued interest payable balance under the Grafiti Note of $326,572 and therefore there was no interest payable thereunder as of December 31, 2025.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company received $336,408 under the Grafiti Note and repaid $128,568 of the principal under such note, leaving a principal balance of $2,999,957 as of June 30, 2026, with the amount available under the note of $43 as of that date. On June 30, 2026, the Company owed $72,387 of accrued interest payable under the Grafiti Note.

 

On July 29, 2026, the Company entered into the Third Amendment and Waiver Agreement to the Grafiti Note (the “Amendment”) with Grafiti LLC, which Amendment (i) extends the maturity date to July 31, 2027, with retroactive effect as of June 30, 2026, subject to automatic successive one-month extensions for so long as amounts remain outstanding under the Grafiti Note and the Company complies in all material respects with the repayment provisions described below; (ii) adds repayment provisions under which, during the Commitment Period (as defined in the Preferred Purchase Agreement), the Company may repay only up to $500,000 of the outstanding balance of the Grafiti Note during the first full calendar month following July 30, 2026, and up to $150,000 during each calendar month thereafter (with unused monthly amounts carrying forward), subject to a reduced cap of $25,000 in any calendar month in which the closing price of the common stock is below the Floor Price (as defined below) on at least ten (10) trading days, and permits the Company to apply up to 15% of the gross cash proceeds of any subsequent financing consummated by the Company, in addition to proceeds resulting from cash exercises of outstanding warrants of the Company, after the Listing Date toward repayment; (iii) provides that amounts remaining outstanding on a date on which the maturity date is automatically extended will not constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the Grafiti Note) so long as the Company remains in compliance with such repayment provisions; and (iv) waives any Event of Default arising solely from the Company’s failure to pay amounts outstanding under the Grafiti Note on or prior to the effective date of the Amendment, including as a result of the passage of the prior maturity date of the Grafiti Note of June 30, 2026. Interest continues to accrue on outstanding principal during any extension period.

 

Streeterville December 2025 Note

 

On December 31, 2025, the Company issued a secured promissory note to Streeterville with an aggregate principal amount of $575,000 for a purchase price of $500,000 (the “Streeterville December 2025 Note”), which was secured by guaranty, pledge, security, and intellectual property agreements. The note’s maturity was extended from its original 60-day term to March 31, 2026, on which date it was deemed cancelled as partial consideration for the issuance of the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note (see below). Interest expense of $89,554 was recorded on the Streeterville December 2025 Note, which includes amortization of debt discount of $75,000.

 

Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note

 

On March 31, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Streeterville (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to offer and sell to Streeterville a secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,135,000 (the “Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note”), and warrants (the “Note Warrants”) to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $6.80 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000, which, in addition to the original issue discount described below, includes (i) $575,000 underlying the Streeterville December 2025 Note that was deemed cancelled as partial consideration for the issuance of the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note and Note Warrants and (ii) $35,000 to pay for Streeterville’s fees. The Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note and the Note Warrants were issued on March 31, 2026.

 

The Note Warrants allow the holder to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $6.80 per share. The Note Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part and can be exercised at any time on or after the Listing Date until 5 years from such date.

 

The Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note carries an original issue discount of $100,000 and accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum compounded daily with the principal amount and all accrued interest being due and payable on April 30, 2027. We may prepay the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note upon 10 trading days’ notice; provided that if such prepayment is made, then we must pay an amount equal to 110% of the outstanding balance which includes the 10% prepayment penalty. The right to prepay is lost on an event of default or if prepayment is elected and the Company fails to do so on the date set forth in the prepayment notice.

 

Upon an event of default, the interest rate shall increase to 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law and Streeterville may accelerate the Note by written notice with the outstanding balance becoming immediately due and payable in cash. In addition, the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note contains certain triggering events (including failure to pay principal, interest, fees or other amounts when due, bankruptcy, insolvency, failure to reserve sufficient shares for conversion, failure to comply with other covenants, receipt of a delisting notice by Nasdaq, and suspension or ineffectiveness of resale registration) that would increase the outstanding balance. Upon the occurrence of a Major Triggering Event (as defined in the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note), the outstanding balance would increase by an amount equal to 15% of the then outstanding balance, and upon the occurrence of a Minor Triggering Event (as defined in the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note), the outstanding balance would increase by an amount equal to 5% of the then outstanding balance.

 

At any time commencing on the Listing Date, Streeterville may, at its election, convert all or any portion of the outstanding balance of the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note, which includes the principal amount under the note and any accrued interest thereunder, into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $6.80 per share. If the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note had been converted on the date of its issuance, March 31, 2026, at such conversion price, the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note would be convertible into a maximum of 166,912 shares of common stock (the “Note Shares”). If the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note is converted on March 31, 2027, at such conversion price, the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note will be convertible into a maximum of 184,730 shares of common stock. The Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note and the Note Warrants also contain a beneficial ownership limitation which provides that we will not effect any conversion or exercise, and Streeterville will not have the right to convert or exercise, any portion of the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note or the Note Warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion or exercise, Streeterville (together with Streeterville’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares upon such conversion or exercise.

 

Following the designation of the Series A Preferred Stock by the Company upon its filing of the Certificate of Designation with the State of Nevada, as further discussed below, Streeterville has the right, but not the obligation, to exchange the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note for a number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the outstanding balance divided by $1,000.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants, including a covenant that we will not, without Streeterville’s prior written consent: (i) issue, incur or guaranty any debt or additional Liabilities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) other than (a) trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business, (b) indebtedness or liabilities incurred pursuant to equipment leases, purchase money financings, or capital leases entered into in the ordinary course of business, (c) indebtedness or liabilities incurred in connection with bona fide commercial banking or credit card arrangements on customary terms, or (d) intercompany indebtedness; or (ii) issue (a) any shares of common stock, preferred stock or any option, warrant, or right to subscribe for, acquire or purchase shares of common stock or preferred stock, or (b) any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock or any class or series of preferred stock, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement also contains a most favored nation provision, which provides that, so long as the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note or the Note Warrants is outstanding, upon our issuance of any security with any economic term or condition more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that was not similarly provided to Streeterville in the transaction documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), then we shall notify Streeterville of such additional or more favorable term, which notice may be provided by means of a current report on Form 8-K or other filing with the SEC, and such term, at Streeterville’s option, shall become a part of the transaction documents for the benefit of Streeterville. The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion discounts, conversion lookback periods, interest rates, original issue discounts, floor prices, stock purchase prices, conversion prices, warrant coverage, warrant exercise prices, and anti-dilution/conversion and exercise price resets.

 

The obligations under the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note were secured by: (i) a Guaranty from Nadir Ali, our former Chief Executive Officer and director (the “Bridge Guaranty”); (ii) a Pledge Agreement from Grafiti LLC pursuant to which all shares of common stock of the Company owned by Grafiti LLC, which shall represent no less than 60% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company at any time (the “Pledged Shares”) as additional collateral under the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note (the “Bridge Pledge Agreement”); (iii) a Security Agreement (the “Bridge Security Agreement”) pursuant to which Streeterville was granted a security interest in all of the existing and future assets of the Company subordinated only to permitted liens as described in the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note (“Bridge Collateral”); and (iv) an Intellectual Property Security Agreement (the “Bridge IP Security Agreement”, and together with the Bridge Guaranty, the Bridge Pledge Agreement, and Bridge Security Agreement, the “Bridge Collateral Agreements”) with respect to the security interests granted in the intellectual property owned by the Company.

 

The Company evaluated the issuance of the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note in exchange for the Streeterville December 2025 Note under ASC 470-50, Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments, and determined that the exchange constituted an extinguishment of the Streeterville December 2025 Note because the terms of the new instrument were substantially different from those of the existing debt on account of the addition of a substantive conversion feature (it is reasonably possible that the conversion feature may be exercised and affect the manner of the debt instrument’s settlement).

 

Accordingly, the Company derecognized the carrying amount of the Streeterville December 2025 Note, and recognized the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note and the Note Warrants at their fair values as of the issuance date. The Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of $14,554. The extinguishment gain was included in Other (Expense)/Income in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

The fair value measurement of the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. The fair value of the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note as of March 31, 2026, was $1,437,423, as determined by an independent third-party valuation firm using a Monte Carlo Simulation model.

 

The key assumptions used in the fair valuation of the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note as of the issuance date, March 31, 2026, were as follows:

 

    March 31,
2026
(Issuance Date)
 
Time period from issue date to Listing Date     0.25 years  
Time period     0.83 years  
Equity volatility     47.19 %
Risk free rate     3.63 %

 

The fair value measurement is subject to estimation uncertainty, as it is sensitive to changes in the discount rate and the timing of the expected listing.

 

Based upon the Company’s analysis, it was determined that the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note contains embedded features requiring recognition as derivatives and bifurcation. However, the Company determined the fair value of these embedded derivatives was immaterial as of the issuance date of such note, and June 30, 2026, and therefore recognized the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note at amortized cost and recorded as a liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

The fair value of the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note exceeded its stated principal amount by $302,423. In accordance with ASC 470-20, this premium is amortized and treated as a reduction of interest expense as this premium was attributable to the value of the embedded conversion feature. As a result, the Company recorded the excess of the fair value over the principal amount as debt premium, which is amortized over the life of the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note. Further, the fair value of the Note Warrants of $585,402 was treated as a debt discount and amortized as interest expense over the life of the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note. Furthermore, the fair value of the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note over the amount of proceeds received which amounted to $362,423 was treated as a debt discount and amortized as interest expense over the life of the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note. Accordingly, the net debt discount is $645,402 which is amortized over the life of the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note.

 

Subsequent to initial recognition, the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note is accounted for at amortized cost and hence fair valuation on a recurring basis is not required. Interest expense will be recognized over the term of the note using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is approximately 87% per annum, which exceeds the coupon rate of 10% per annum on account of net debt discount. As of June 30, 2026, the carrying amount of the Streeterville March 2026 Convertible Note is $580,402 (net of $554,598 of debt discount, issuance costs and debt premium).

 

During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized a contractual interest expense of $29,052 and a net debt discount amortization of $90,804, as the Streeterville March 2026 Note was entered into on March 31, 2026. The contractual interest expense is included in the accrued expenses and other current liabilities line on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

No interest and amortization of debt discount were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 as the Streeterville March 2026 Note was entered into on March 31, 2026.
