Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

1800 Diagonal Note

 

On March 3, 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 $94,300 (the “Note”). An original issue discount of $12,300 and fees of $7,000 were applied on the issuance date, resulting in net loan proceeds to the Company of $75,000. Accrued, unpaid interest and outstanding principal, subject to adjustment, is required to be paid in five payments, with the first payment of $54,222.50 due on August 30, 2025, and remaining four payments of $13,555.63 due on the thirtieth day of each month thereafter (a total payback to the Lender of $108,445.00).

 

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.

 

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

Revenue Interest Purchase Agreements

 

Revenue Agreement No. 1

 

On April 9, 2024, the Company entered into a $75,000 Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor (the “Revenue Agreement No. 1”). Effective August 5, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange and Amendment Agreement with the investor, whereby the investor exchanged a portion of and amended certain provisions of the Revenue Agreement No. 1 as follows:

 

Commencing on October 1, 2024 and continuing thereafter until all amounts are repurchased by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Revenue Agreement, the investor has a right to receive $7,500 per month from the Company generated from its operating subsidiaries (the “Revenue Interest”). Under the Revenue Agreement, the Company has an option (the “Call Option”) to repurchase the Revenue Interest at any time upon two days advance written notice. Additionally, the Purchasers have an option (the “Put Option”) to terminate the Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement and to require the Company to repurchase future Revenue Interest upon the Company consummating a public offering pursuant to Regulation A. The repurchase price to be paid by the Company will be, if the Call Option or the Put Option is exercised (i) $70,312.50 if repurchased on or before September 30, 2024; and (ii) $75,937.50 after October 1, 2024; in each case of (i) or (ii), minus all Revenue Interest or other payments made by the Company to the investor prior to such date.

 

On March 3, 2025, the Company received written notice on behalf of the investor that it is in default of the Revenue Agreement No. 1, as amended, for failure to make payments due thereunder. Upon receipt of this notice, the increased amount ($75,937.50) plus an additional twenty-five percent ($18,984.38 for a total of $94,921.88) is now immediately due and payable, in addition to any and all other amounts due under the Revenue Agreement No. 1. If the Company is unable to cure the default, or payoff the Revenue Agreement No. 1, it may have a material impact on the Company’s working capital needs. In addition, the Company having to raise equity or debt financing to repay the Revenue Agreement No. 1 or obtaining a new loan may be on substantially worse terms than the Revenue Agreement No. 1.

 

Revenue Agreement No. 2

 

On April 9, 2024, the Company entered into a $300,000 Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor (the “Revenue Agreement No. 2”). Effective August 5, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement with the investor, whereby the investor amended certain provisions of the Revenue Agreement No. 2 as follows:

 

Commencing on October 1, 2024 and continuing thereafter until all amounts are repurchased by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Revenue Agreement, the investor has a right to receive $30,000 per month from the Company generated from its operating subsidiaries (the “Revenue Interest 2”). Under the Revenue Agreement, the Company has an option (the “Call Option 2”) to repurchase the Revenue Interest at any time upon two days advance written notice. Additionally, the Purchasers have an option (the “Put Option 2”) to terminate the Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement and to require the Company to repurchase future Revenue Interest 2 upon the Company consummating a public offering pursuant to Regulation A. The repurchase price to be paid by the Company will be, if the Call Option 2 or the Put Option 2 is exercised (i) $562,500 if repurchased on or before September 30, 2024; and (ii) $607,500 after October 1, 2024; in each case of (i) or (ii), minus all Revenue Interest 2 or other payments made by the Company to the investor prior to such date.

On March 3, 2025, the Company received written notice on behalf of the investor that it is in default of the Revenue Agreement No. 2, as amended, for failure to make payments due thereunder. Upon receipt of this notice, the increased amount ($607,500) plus an additional twenty-five percent ($151,875 for a total of $759,375) is now immediately due and payable, in addition to any and all other amounts due under the Revenue Agreement No. 2. If the Company is unable to cure the default, or payoff the Revenue Agreement No. 2, it may have a material impact on the Company’s working capital needs. In addition, the Company having to raise equity or debt financing to repay the Revenue Agreement No. 2 or obtaining a new loan may be on substantially worse terms than the Revenue Agreement No. 2.
