Description of the Note
The Note has a principal face amount of $1,925,141.71. The Note accrues interest at the rate of 15% per annum, unless an event of default (as defined in the Note) occurs, at which time the Note would accrue interest at 18% per annum. The Note will mature on May 5, 2025.
The Note is convertible into shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at any time after NYSE American approval of the Supplemental Listing Application (the “SLAP”) at a fixed conversion price of $4.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”), which conversion price represented a $0.05 premium to the closing price of the Common Stock on the Closing Date.
