NOTE 7 — Related Party Transactions

John Redmond

John Redmond was the former chairman of ScanTech’s board of directors prior to the Business Combination. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the majority of the loan balances, including accrued interest, owed to John Redmond were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock.

As of March 31, 2025, only three loans, together totaling $3.5 million, issued by St. James Bank and Trust Company Ltd (“SJBT”) via the promissory note agreements between Azure LLC and ScanTech remained on the balance sheet. The remaining loan balances, along with the related accrued interest payables, had been converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at the closing of the Business Combination. The settlement was treated as a capital transaction, with the corresponding gain being recorded in additional paid-in capital, as the settlement was deemed to be a troubled debt restructuring. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s outstanding loan balances with these entities, including accrued interest, were approximately $61.3 million. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in default on all notes held by Azure.

The conversion feature did not meet the definition of a derivative and did not contain a significant premium. Therefore, the Company did not account for the conversion feature separately. Mr. Redmond also has an intercreditor agreement with the Seed financing noteholders, which provides drag-along conversion and certain collateral agency rights under certain terms and conditions. The drag-along conversion rights were deemed to be a contingent conversion feature, which would not require recognition until the contingency is met. The drag-along conversion rights also did not meet the definition of a derivative. These drag-along conversion rights were exercised and no longer outstanding upon the consummation of the business combination.

On February 7, 2025, the Company entered into a non-binding refinance term sheet with NACS, LLC, John Redmond, and SJBT. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company agreed to issue 316,616 shares of common stock to SJBT. SJBT would then sell these shares, subject to a leak-out agreement, and use the sale proceeds to repay the carryforward amounts of the existing loans. The proceeds from the share sales were specifically applied to reduce the accrued and unpaid interest on the Azure loans. As of the reporting date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has not yet been able to register the 316,616 shares issued. Upon issuance, the fair value of the shares was recorded in balance sheet under the caption of “Security pledged to creditors” and is remeasured at the time the shares were pledged. The corresponding fair value changes are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The following table lists the accrued interest and principal balances of the notes issued to related parties associated with John Redmond.

Mr. Redmond also paid expenses on behalf of the Company which were not included as principal balance in any of Mr. Redmond’s outstanding loans. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Mr. Redmond’s outstanding expense advances were $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. These items are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the caption of related parties payables.

Dolan Falconer

On September 26, 2024, the Company entered into a conversion and mutual release agreement with Mr. Falconer, the Company’s CEO. Under the terms of the agreement, the parties agreed that it would be mutually beneficial for Mr. Falconer to convert all of his deferred compensation, totaling $1,189,716, into 275,751 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the closing of the Business Combination.

The total deferred compensation of $1,189,716 as of December 31, 2024 is comprised of the following components: deferred compensation of $675,118, associated late fees of $247,321, a deferred incentive of $41,651, unpaid hardship compensation of $16,899, and a payable balance of $208,727 for operating expenses paid on behalf of the Company. This total is partially offset by employee advances of $51,200. These amounts were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, under the following captions: accrued compensation ($980,989) and related parties payables ($208,727).

The amount was presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the caption of related parties payable.

Seaport Group SIBS LLC

On September 23, 2024, the Company entered into an intercreditor and collateral agency agreement with Seaport Group SIBS LLC. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to exchange the entire outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Seaport Global loan, as of the date of the Business Combination, for a new loan in the same total amount. The accumulated interest was

capitalized into the principal balance of the new loan. As of December 31, 2024, the total principal, including rolled-in interest, was $14,701,451. This amount was recorded as the new principal balance as of March 31, 2025.

On December 31, 2024, the Company entered into the Seaport Credit Facility with Seaport Group SIBS LLC. Under the terms of the agreement, Seaport agreed to provide the Company with a credit facility up to $2,000,000 in principal. The outstanding principal and all accrued interest under the Seaport Credit Facility are due and payable 12 months from the date the funds are disbursed. The facility carries an annual interest rate of 15%. No amounts were drawn as of the filing date of this condensed consolidated financial statements.

On December 31, 2024, the Company entered into a senior unsecured promissory note agreement with Seaport Group SIBS LLC, under which Seaport agreed to lend the Company $1,000,000. The note was unsecured and repayable, including all accrued interest, in the form of 303,951 ordinary shares of the Company’s common stock. These shares were issued to Seaport on February 18, 2025 in full satisfaction of the outstanding balance under the note.

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the outstanding warrants associated with the Seaport Global loan and the first Seaport bridge loan, executed on March 27, 2024, were exercised. These warrants, which had an aggregate fair value of $18,575,421 as of December 31, 2024, were converted into 5,554,792 shares of the Company’s common stock. Subsequently, on January 7, 2025, Seaport exercised the option related to the second bridge loan, executed on November 14, 2024, by paying an exercise price of $10 to receive 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
