Note Payable

Note Payable

In February 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Investor a secured promissory note in the original principal amount of $1,600,000 (the “Note”). The Note carries an original issuance discount of $400,000 and the Company agreed to pay $10,000 to the Investor to cover legal fees. The Company incurred additional legal and professional fees of $72,424. The original issuance discount was deducted from the proceeds of the Note received by the Company which resulted in a purchase price received by the Company of $1,200,000.

The Note is due and payable on August 12, 2026 and the Company is required to make monthly repayments to the Investor of $106,667 starting on June 12, 2025. The Company can pay all or any portion of the outstanding balance earlier than it is due without penalty. In the event the Company repays the Note in full on or before August 12, 2025, the Company will receive a $100,000 discount from the outstanding balance. The Note is secured by all of the Company's assets pursuant to a security agreement and intellectual property security agreement entered into with the Investor on February 12, 2025. The Company's obligations under the Note are guaranteed by each of the Company's subsidiaries.

No interest will accrue on the Note unless and until an occurrence of an event of default, as defined in the Note. The Note provides for customary events of default (an “Event of Default”), including, among other things, the nonpayment when due of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, a representation or warranty proving to have been incorrect when made, failure to perform or observe covenants within a specified cure period, a cross-default to certain other indebtedness and material agreements of the Company, and the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar event affecting the Company. Upon the occurrence of certain significant Events of Default as specified in the Note, the Investor may increase the outstanding balance of the Note by 20%, and upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default, the Investor may increase the outstanding balance of the Note by 5%. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Investor may declare all amounts owed under the Note immediately due and payable. In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, interest shall begin accruing on the outstanding balance of the Note from the date of the Event of Default equal to the lesser of 18% per annum and the maximum rate allowable under law.

Streeterville Note

In July 2024, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with Streeterville, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to Streeterville a Secured Promissory Note (the "Streeterville Note") in the original principal amount of $1.2 million. The Streeterville Note carried an original issuance discount of $283,500. The Company incurred additional debt issuance costs of $5,000. As a result, the Company received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $0.9 million in connection with the sale and issuance of the Streeterville Note. The Streeterville Note was to mature on July 3, 2025 and the Company was required to make weekly repayments to Streeterville

on the note in the amount of $22,856 until the Streeterville Note was paid in full. The Company was able to pay all or any portion of the outstanding balance earlier than it is due without penalty. In the event the Company repaid the Streeterville Note in full on or before December 31, 2024, the Company would have received a $75,000 discount from the outstanding balance.

No interest was to accrue on the Streeterville Note until an occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in Section 4 of the Streeterville Note, if ever. The Streeterville Note provided for customary events of default, including, among other things, the event of nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, a representation or warranty proving to have been incorrect when made, failure to perform or observe covenants within a specified period of time, a cross-default to certain other indebtedness of the Company, the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or any significant subsidiary, monetary judgment defaults of a specified amount and other defaults resulting in liability of a specified amount. In the event of an occurrence of an Event of Default by the Company, Streeterville could have declared all amounts owed under the Streeterville Note immediately due and payable. Also, a late fee and interest penalty of equal to either 22% per annum or the maximum rate allowable under law, whichever is lesser, could have been applied to any outstanding amount not paid when due or that remained outstanding while an Event of Default exists. The Streeterville Note was secured by all of the Company’s assets as set forth in the Security Agreement dated July 3, 2024.

The Company made principal payments to Streeterville of $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company repaid the outstanding Streeterville Note prior to its maturity date and recognized a gain on extinguishment of note of $37,500. As a result, the Streeterville Note has been fully repaid and satisfied as of March 31, 2025, and the Company's obligations thereunder, were cancelled and terminated.

Insurance Financing

In October 2024, the Company entered into a financing agreement with First Insurance Funding in order to fund a portion of its insurance policies for the upcoming policy year. The amount financed was $0.2 million, which incurs interest at a rate of 8.42% per annum. The Company is required to make monthly payments of $20,396 from November 2024 through July 2025. The outstanding balance as of March 31, 2025 is $0.1 million.

In October 2023, the Company entered into a financing agreement with First Insurance Funding in order to fund a portion of its insurance policies for the most recent policy year.

There was no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2025.
