Note 8 – Debt

 

Convertible notes

 

On July 7, 2025, the Company issued senior secured convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of $7.65 million (the “Notes”). The Notes bear interest at 8% per annum, payable quarterly in cash, and mature on July 8, 2027, subject to acceleration upon certain events of default. The Notes were issued at an original issue discount and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s U.S. assets, as well as certain equity interests in its subsidiaries, pursuant to a Security and Pledge Agreement.

 

The primary conversion feature within the Notes provides the holders the right to convert the principal amount into the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.6274 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

 

The Company evaluated this conversion feature under ASC 815-40 and concluded that it meets the criteria for equity classification. Accordingly, the conversion feature was not bifurcated from the host debt instrument and no derivative liability was recognized. In addition, because the Notes were not issued at a substantial premium, no beneficial conversion feature was recorded under ASC 470-20.

 

Certain other provisions contained within the Notes allow the holder, upon the occurrence of defined triggering events, to convert the debt into common stock at 120 - 125% of the outstanding debt value through maturity. These contingent conversion features do not meet the criteria for equity classification and were therefore bifurcated and accounted for as derivative liabilities under ASC 815.

 

 

The table below summarizes the components used to determine the initial carrying amount of the Notes as of July 7, 2025 (in thousands):

 

 Schedule of initial carrying amount

   Amount 
Principal amount  $7,650 
Less: original issue discount   (2,118)
Less: issuance costs   (139)
Add: fair value of derivative liabilities   298 
Initial carrying amount of Notes at July 7, 2025  $5,691 

 

The carrying amount of the Notes as of September 30, 2025 is summarized below (in thousands):

 

 Schedule of carrying amount notes

   Amount 
Initial carrying amount  $5,691 
Less: cash payments on convertible debt   (1,526)
Add: amortization of debt discount and issuance costs   287 
Add: change in fair value of derivative liabilities    
Carrying amount of Notes at September 30, 2025  $4,452 

 

In connection with issuing the Notes, the Company executed a Securities Purchase Agreement that also included 21,338,062 warrants to purchase common stock and a registration rights agreement covering the underlying shares (see Note 11 – Warrants and other equity related instruments). A portion of the proceeds was allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair value.

 

After deducting the original issue discount, issuance costs, fair value of warrants, and the fair value of derivative liabilities, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $6.1 million, which have been used for general corporate purposes and working capital.

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2025, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Note holders under which the Notes, together with all accrued interest and associated derivative liabilities, were fully settled and extinguished. The Company will recognize any resulting gain or loss on extinguishment in the period of settlement (see Note 20 – Subsequent events).

Revolving line of credit

 

Separately, in September 2023, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with Canadian Western Bank (“CWB”) that permits borrowings up to $3.7 million at a variable interest rate equal to the bank’s prime rate plus 1.5% per annum. The interest rate was 7.95% at September 30,2024. Interest is payable monthly, and the Company may repay and reborrow amounts at its discretion, subject to the terms of the facility. As of September 30, 2024, $3.5 million was outstanding under the CWB line of credit. Accrued interest was not material as of September 30, 2024. The facility is unsecured and contains no financial covenants.

 

This revolving line of credit relates to the discontinued SRx Health Solutions segment and is presented within discontinued operations.

 

Revolving Loan – Better Choice

 

On September 20, 2024, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Promissory Note”) with Better Choice Company Inc. (“BTTR”), under which the Company could borrow, repay, and reborrow up to $750,000 at an interest rate of 12% per annum. On December 31, 2024, the Promissory Note was amended to permit additional borrowing of $720,000 at a revised interest rate of 11% per annum.

 

In January 2025, the Promissory Note was further amended to include a provision whereby the outstanding balance would be converted into common shares of the Company upon the closing of a business combination between the Company and BTTR. The Promissory Note was personally guaranteed by Adesh Vora, former CEO of the Company. The agreement contained no financial or non-financial covenants.

 

 

On April 24, 2025, in connection with the reverse merger between the Company and BTTR, the full outstanding balance of the Promissory Note, including accrued interest, was converted into common shares of the Company in accordance with the amended terms. As a result, the Promissory Note has been settled in full and derecognized from the financial statements as of September 30, 2025.

 

No gain or loss was recognized upon conversion. All prior-period balances related to this facility have been extinguished, and no amounts are outstanding under this facility as of September 30, 2025.

 

Term Facilities

 

Prior to September 18, 2023, the Company entered into senior secured term facilities with CWB Financial Limited (“CWB”) for a select number of its pharmacy locations. Under the terms of the facility with CWB the Company must maintain a minimum Debt Service Coverage ratio of at least 1.30x. The Debt Service Coverage ratio is based on the combined results for 1093507 B.C. Ltd., Alberta Specialty Rx Inc., ConnectRX Inc., Trillium Pharmaceuticals, Nepean Medical Pharmacy Inc., and two other associated corporations of the Company. On September 18, 2023, the Company refinanced its existing senior secured term debt with CWB under SRx Health Solutions Inc. Under the terms of the facility with CWB the Company must maintain a Senior Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA of less than 4.0x and a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of greater than 1.0x. As at September 30, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with the covenants and as a result the entire CWB loan was classified as a current liability. The terms of these facilities have been summarized below.

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.
