On December 15, 2023, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC (the “Lender”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Lender an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) in an aggregate initial principal amount of $3,885 thousand, which is payable on or before the date that is 12 months from the issuance date. The initial principal amount included an original issue discount of $870 thousand and $15 thousand that we agreed to pay to the Lender to cover the Lender’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs. The net proceeds of the Note are $3,000 thousand.
Interest on the Note accrued at a rate of 10% per annum and is payable on the maturity date.
A monitoring fee of 10% of the outstanding balance was to be charged starting six (6) months from the issuance of the Note to cover Lender’s accounting, legal and other costs incurred in monitoring. The foregoing fee shall automatically be added to the outstanding balance on the applicable date without any further action by either party.
The Lender had the right to redeem up to an aggregate of 1/6th of the initial principal balance of the Note plus any interest accrued thereunder each month by providing written notice delivered to us; provided, however, that if the Lender does not exercise any monthly redemption amount in its corresponding month then such monthly redemption amount shall be available for the Lender to redeem in any further month in addition to such future month’s monthly redemption amount.
Upon receipt of any monthly redemption notice, we shall pay the applicable monthly redemption amount in cash to the Lender within five (5) business days of the Company’s receipt of such monthly redemption notice.
The Note included customary event of default provisions, subject to certain cure periods, and provides for a default interest rate of 22%. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, interest would accrue on the outstanding balance beginning on the date the applicable event of default occurred at an interest rate equal to the lesser of twenty-two percent (22%) or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.
Note Exchanges
During the period from July 15, 2024, to December 26, 2024, the Company exchanged $3,428 thousand of the outstanding balance of the Note for approximately shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at exchange prices between $1.47 and $2.23 per share.
The Company analyzed the exchange of principal under the note as an extinguishment and compared the net carrying value of the debt being extinguished to the reacquisition price (shares of common stock being issued) and recorded an approximately $1,052 thousand loss on the exchange of debt for equity as a separate item in the other income (expense) section of the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.
As of January 17, 2025, the Company paid down the entire December 2023 Note.
Interest expense for the note recognized on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss were approximately $2 thousand and $1,069 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

About Debt Disclosures
Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.
Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
