TruGolf Improves Balance Sheet with Agreement to Eliminate All Convertible Notes

All Convertible Notes & Majority of Related Party Notes to be Converted to Equity

Salt Lake City, Utah, April 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TruGolf Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:TRUG), a leading provider of golf simulator software and hardware, announced today that it has entered into agreements with its existing noteholders to exchange all its outstanding convertible notes into a newly created Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, the common stock warrants previously issued with the convertible notes were exchanged for a combination of newly created Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase additional Series A Preferred Stock, which, if fully exercised in the sole discretion of the investors, would result in an additional $15.1 million in gross proceeds to the Company. In addition, the three founders of TruGolf, agreed to convert existing dividends owed to them into a combination of Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Upon execution of the exchange agreement, the ability for the noteholders to invest in further tranches of debt was terminated, and upon the closing of these note exchange transactions, approximately $9.3 million in outstanding debt will be eliminated. These actions are part of an effort by the Company to improve the capital structure and reduce the debt on its balance sheet in order to meet the NASDAQ's continued listing requirements. 

The exchange of the convertible notes and the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock is subject to certain conditions, including the receipt of shareholder approval. The Company intends to hold a shareholder vote in connection with such required approval in the future. Further information around the foregoing transactions can be found in the Form 8-K filed by the company on April 23, 2025.
