The obligations under the Note will be secured by a subordinated lien on the Company’s interest in any real property acquired with the proceeds of the Note; provided, however, that in note event will the total principal indebtedness on any property exceed sixty (60%) of the acquisition price of such property.
The Investor may assign up to forty (40%) percent of the aggregate principal amount of the Note, in whole or in part at any time from August 8, 2026 to July 8, 2027 (the “Option Period”). In exchange for such right they will pay a premium equal to one (1%) percent of the Note upon its issuance and an additional one (1%) percent upon the earlier of the exercise of such right of the end of the Option Period.
Additionally, the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note will not exceed 19.99% of the Company’s total outstanding shares until the Company obtains the requisite shareholder approval in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).
The Company agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-1 as soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the convertible note and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable.
