  • Instrument/value: $4,144,144 in convertible notes; interest 6%
  • Payment terms: notes payable in three equal tranches on the 12-, 18- and 24‑month anniversaries
  • Conversion: notes convertible in whole/part into Archenia Class B common stock at $1.80 per share (would equal ~2.30M shares if fully converted)

Context

  • This was part of a corporate acquisition and represents acquisition of convertible debt plus contingent/earn‑out equity, not an open‑market purchase or sale by the insider. Such transactions establish potential future equity exposure if notes convert or earn‑outs vest; they do not represent immediate share sales or purchases.
