1800 Diagonal Note
On February 10, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with 1800 Diagonal Lending, LLC, an accredited investor (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender made a loan to the Company, evidenced by a promissory note in the principal amount of $155,250 (the “Note”). An original issue discount of $20,250 and fees of $6,000 were applied on the issuance date, resulting in net loan proceeds to the Company of $129,000. Accrued, unpaid interest and outstanding principal, subject to adjustment, is required to be paid in five payments, with the first payment of $89,268.50 due on August 15, 2025, and remaining four payments of $22,317.13 due on the fifteenth day of each month thereafter (a total payback to the Lender of $178,537.00).
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Company will be obligated to pay to the Lender, in full satisfaction of its obligations, an amount equal to 150% times the sum of (w) the then outstanding principal amount of the Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Note to the date of payment plus (y) default interest, if any, at the rate of 22% per annum on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and/or (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Lender pursuant to the conversion rights referenced below.
Only upon an occurrence of an event of default under the Note, the Lender may convert the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Note into restricted shares of common stock of the Company at a discount of 25% of the market price. The Lender agreed to limit the amount of stock received to less than 4.99% of the total outstanding common stock. There are no warrants or other derivatives attached to this Note. The Company agreed to reserve a number of shares of common stock equal to four times the number of shares of common stock which may be issuable upon conversion of the Note at all times.
The foregoing descriptions of the Note and the Securities Purchase Agreement and of all of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Note and the Securities Purchase Agreement are qualified in its entirety by reference to the Note and the Securities Purchase Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 respectively to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and of which are incorporated herein by reference.
