Key Details

• Issuance date: May 19, 2026 (Additional Optional Closing under Purchase Agreement dated Dec 22, 2025).
• Notes: $3,000,000 aggregate principal of Series A senior secured convertible notes; company received about $2,820,000 (issued at $940 per $1,000 principal).
• Conversion: Fixed conversion price of $1.03 per share (set at 120% of Nasdaq close May 18, 2026).
• Fees & use of proceeds: 6% cash fee payable to Digital Offering (placement agent); company committed up to $3.0M to purchase sUSDai as part of AI infrastructure financing.

Why It Matters The transaction provides near-term cash (roughly $2.82M before fees) to fund operations or strategic initiatives, and formalizes further financing capacity under the previously disclosed up-to-$30M note facility. The convertible notes carry a low conversion price ($1.03), which could lead to share issuance if converted, so investors should be aware of possible dilution depending on future conversions. The company’s stated shift into AI infrastructure and its commitment to invest up to $3.0M in a digital-asset instrument (sUSDai) signal a strategic use of funds and a move into crypto-linked yield products; the press release disclosing that change is furnished as an exhibit to the filing.
