Note 11- Senior Secured Promissory Note and Debt Cancellation Agreement with PCCU

 

The outstanding amounts under the Senior Secured Promissory Note are as follows:

 

   December 31, 2025   December 31, 2024 
Senior Secured Promissory Note -current  $-   $255,765 
Senior Secured Promissory Note -long-term   -    10,748,408 
Total  $    -   $11,004,173 

 

The Company and PCCU entered into a Senior Secured Promissory Note and Security Agreement (together, the “PCCU Note”) on March 29, 2023, under which PCCU agreed to lend $14.5 million to the Company.

 

On March 1, 2025, SHF executed an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Promissory Note with PCCU, replacing the original note dated March 29, 2023. The principal balance on the amended note remained $10.7 million, accruing interest at 4.25% annually. This amended and restated agreement allows for interest-only payments until January 5, 2027, postponing principal payments, with full repayment due by October 5, 2030

 

On September 30, 2025, the Company entered into a Debt Cancellation Agreement with PCCU. Under the terms of the Debt Cancellation Agreement, the outstanding balance of $10.7 million due under the Loan Agreements was deemed fully repaid and satisfied. In exchange, PCCU received:

 

  13,436 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and
  a warrant (the “Series B warrant”) to purchase 865,200 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the warrant agreement.

 

The transaction was accounted for under ASC 470-50, Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments. The fair value of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Warrants to purchase Common Stock issued was estimated at $800 per unit, which represented the cash price paid by unaffiliated third-party investors on the same day for identical instruments in accordance with ASC 505, Equity Issuances for Non-Cash Consideration. Because the total fair value of the equity instruments issued equaled the carrying amount of the debt extinguished, the Company did not recognize a gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt. As a result of the Debt Cancellation Agreement, there was no outstanding balance on the Senior Secured Promissory Note as of December 31, 2025.

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.
