Note 16 – Senior Secured Convertible Notes

 

May 2026 Note

 

On May 13, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “May 2026 Note Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Note Investor”), pursuant to which we issued to the Note Investor a senior secured convertible note (the “Note”) with an original principal amount of $5,000,000 and an original issue discount of $700,000. The Note bears no interest (except upon an event of default) and, unless earlier converted or redeemed, will mature on the first anniversary of the Closing Date. At closing, the Company received $3,275,000 after the deduction of $25,000 legal fee, with the remaining $1,000,000 of the $4,300,000 aggregate subscription amount to be released to the Company upon the SEC declaring effective a resale registration statement covering the resale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 200% of the maximum number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note.

 

The Note is convertible, at any time at the Note Investor’s option, into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Shares”), at an initial fixed conversion price of $0.94 per share (the “Fixed Conversion Price”), which is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations, and other customary events. In addition, during each monthly period specified in the Note (each, a “Monthly Redemption Conversion Period”), the Note Investor may convert up to $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Note (plus all accrued and unpaid amounts thereon) at a “Redemption Conversion Price” equal to the lower of (i) the Fixed Conversion Price then in effect and (ii) 90% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock during the seven consecutive trading days ending on and including the applicable date of conversion or the first trading day of the applicable Monthly Redemption Conversion Period, in each case subject to a floor price (the “Floor Price”) initially set at 20% of the Nasdaq Minimum Price (as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635) on the trading day prior to the date of the May 2026 Note Purchase Agreement, which resets automatically every six months. If the Company is unable to issue Conversion Shares due to the exchange cap described below or if a Floor Price condition exists, the Note Investor may require the Company to satisfy the applicable monthly conversion amount in cash at a 7.5% premium.

 

If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Note shall become due and payable, at the Note Investor’s election, in cash at an amount equal to 125% of all the outstanding principal amount of the Note, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other unpaid amounts (collectively, the “Outstanding Value”). Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, default interest shall accrue at an annual rate of 12%.

 

The Note also contains additional conversion, redemption, and put mechanics, including (i) an optional redemption right in favor of the Company, exercisable after 40 trading days following the effective date of the initial resale registration statement, at a price equal to 115% of the Outstanding Value of the Note, (ii) a change of control put right entitling the Note Investor to require redemption of the Outstanding Value under the Note at a premium upon the occurrence of a change of control transaction, and (iii) a subsequent placement redemption right entitling the Note Investor to require the Company to apply up to 30% of the gross proceeds of such subsequent placement to redeem at a price equal to 115% of the Outstanding Value being redeemed, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Note.

 

The May 2026 Note Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and agreements of the Company and the Note Investor, and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has agreed to seek stockholder approval for the issuance of Conversion Shares in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of the May 2026 Note Purchase Agreement. Absent such approval (or an opinion of outside counsel that stockholder approval is not required), the Company may not issue Conversion Shares in excess of 12,256,260 shares in the aggregate (the “Exchange Cap”). Conversions are also subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation.

 

 

In connection with the May 2026 Note Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the Note Investor. The Company also entered into a security agreement with the Note Investor (the “May Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company granted to the Note Investor, acting as collateral agent, a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s personal property assets, subject to customary permitted liens and excluded assets, as set forth in the Security Agreement.

 

During the six months ended August 31, 2026, the Note Investor converted an aggregate of $2,065,567 of principal under the May 2026 Note into 12,248,843 shares of the Company’s common stock at conversion prices ranging from $0.1620 to $0.3442 per share.
