Athena Bitcoin Global eliminates about $3 million of secured, convertible debt without penalty.

Athena Bitcoin Global repaid in full approximately $3 million outstanding under a secured Convertible Debenture with KGPLA Holdings LLC on November 24, 2025. This also triggered termination of a related Senior Secured Loan Agreement and Security Agreement, removing these obligations from the balance sheet.

Because the instruments were secured, the required release of all related collateral reduces encumbrances on company assets and may simplify future financing structures. The prepayment was made using cash on hand and carried no prepayment penalties, which avoids incremental costs but does represent a cash outflow that must be weighed against reduced interest expense and the removal of potential equity dilution from the convertible feature.

Given the related-party ties—KGPLA is controlled by a former director and principal shareholder, and its Chief Investment Officer is a current director—the clean termination of these agreements clarifies outstanding obligations with affiliated parties. Future disclosures in periodic reports can show how the debt reduction affects interest expense and liquidity metrics over subsequent reporting periods.
