NOTE 7 – RESTRUCTURED SENIOR NOTE PAYABLE
December 15, 2021 Debenture
The Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with an investor (the “Investor”) on December 15, 2021. Pursuant to the SPA, the Investor purchased a secured promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount totaling approximately $16,320,000 (the “Principal Amount”). The Note has an interest rate of 12% per annum, with a maturity date 24 months from the issuance date of the Note (the “Maturity Date”).
Beginning on the date that is 6 months from the issuance date of the Note, the Investor had the right to redeem up to $The “Redemption Repayment Price” equaled 90% multiplied by the average of the two lowest volume weighted average price per share of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date that the Investor delivers notice electing to redeem a portion of the Note. The redemption amount shall include an Exit Fee, consisting of a premium of 15% of the portion of the outstanding balance being paid. As the Exit Fee is to be included in every settlement of the Note, an additional 15% of the principal balance, which totals $2,448,000, was recognized along with the principal balance, and offset by a contra account in a manner similar to a debt discount. In addition to the Investor’s right of redemption, the Company has the option to prepay the Notes at any time prior to the Maturity Date by paying a premium of 15% plus the principal, interest, and fees owed as of the prepayment date. of the outstanding balance per month. Payments could have been made by the Company, at the Company’s option, (a) in cash, or (b) by paying the redemption amount in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $ per share (the “Common Stock”), per the following formula: the number of redemption shares equals the portion of the applicable redemption amount divided by the Redemption Repayment Price.
On November 4, 2022, the Company entered into a Restructuring Agreement for an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (the “Senior Note”) with the December 2021 Investor through which the December 2021 Note was amended and restated in its entirety. These amendments were made in conjunction with the Merger Agreement, entered into on October 24, 2022, with Yotta Acquisition Corporation. The main modification of the terms of the Senior Note was that the conversion feature was eliminated. Second, a Mandatory Payment was added whereby within 3 trading days of the closing upon the Merger an amount equal to the lesser of (A) one-third of the amount retained in the Trust Account at the Effective Time or (B) $10,000,000, in order to repay a portion of the outstanding balance of the Senior Note; after which the remaining balance of the Senior Note is to be repaid in equal monthly installments over a 12-month period beginning on a date after the Merger Agreement closing date (“Closing Date”) or the termination of such agreement. All payments made shall be subject to an Exit Fee of 15% of the portion of the outstanding balance being paid. Additionally, if the Closing Date is after December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance of all indebtedness owed by the Company to December 2021 Investor will be increased automatically by 2% and will automatically increase by 2% every 30 days thereafter until the closing, a termination, or substantially similar terms as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. Additional key modifications include i) uplist terms in which the Company was to cause the common stock to be listed for trading on either of (a) NYSE, or (b) NASDAQ, were removed, ii) Maturity date was modified from December 15, 2023 to 12 months from the closing or termination of the Merger Agreement, provided not to be later than September 30, 2024, and iii) the outstanding balance of the Senior Note may be increased by 5% to 15% upon the occurrence of an event of default or failure to obtain the Lender’s consent or notify the Lender for certain major equity related transactions (“Trigger Events”). As of June 30, 2023, the Merger had not yet closed, and therefore the 2% of the outstanding balance was increased as of June 30, 2023, in the amount of approximately $2,675,000. On July 20, 2023, the Company sent Yotta notice of the Company’s termination of the Merger Agreement. Based on the termination in July of 2023, the equal monthly payments were to begin on September 20, 2023. On July 3, 2024, the Investor issued a waiver to the Company on the equal monthly payments, which are not currently required to be paid, through August 15, 2024.
The Note also contains certain negative covenants and Events of Default, which in addition to common events of default, include the Company fails to maintain the share reserve, the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction without the Lenders written consent, the Company effectuates a reverse split of its common stock without 20 trading days written notice to Lender, fails to observe or perform or breaches any covenant, and, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreements in any material. Upon an Event of a Default, at its option and sole discretion, the Investor may consider the Note immediately due and payable. Upon such an Event of Default, the interest rate increases to 18% per annum and the outstanding balance of the Note increases from 5% to 15%, depending upon the specific Event of Default. As of June 30, 2024, the Company is in full compliance with the covenants and Events of Default.
The Restructured Senior Note was analyzed under ASC 470-50 as to if the change in terms qualified as a modification or an extinguishment of the note. The changes in terms were considered an extinguishment as the conversion feature has been eliminated and therefore the modified Senior Note is determined to be fundamentally different from the original convertible note. As such, with the removal of the original note and its debt discount and accrued interest as compared to the restructured note with a fair value of approximately $18,914,000, there was a gain in extinguishment of approximately $2,540,000. As of the restructuring date the derivative had a fair value of $12,290,000, based on assumptions used in a bi-nomial option pricing model, which resulted in a change in fair value of $17,738,000 as of the restructuring date, from its previous fair value of $30,028,000. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $ at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 3.73% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 117.77%, and the strike price of $ .
As a result of the extinguishment and at the Company’s election of the fair value option under ASC 825, the Company will account for the Restructured Senior Note at fair value every period end until it is settled. In accordance with ASC 815- 15-25-1(b) a hybrid instrument that is measured at fair value under ASC 825 fair value option each period with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur should not be evaluated for embedded derivatives. Therefore, the Company did not evaluate the provisions in the Restructured Senior Note as to whether they fell under the guidance of embedded derivatives and were required to be bifurcated. The Restructured Senior Note was revalued as of June 30, 2024 at approximately $27,690,000, with a change in fair value of approximately $570,000 recognized in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated Statement of Operations. The Restructured Senior Note was revalued as of March 31, 2024 at approximately $27,120,000, with a change in fair value of approximately $5,830,000 recognized in the Company’s accompanying condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2024, the accrued interest from the restructuring date, which is included in the fair value is approximately $6,463,000.
