Insights

AIxCrypto swaps a distressed loan position for cash, royalties, and equity-linked upside.

AIxCrypto is transferring its entire Marizyme exposure, including a secured note with about $4,771,142 principal at an 18% rate and a $1,750,000 co-development note, plus all related collateral rights, to CABG ACQUISITION CORP.

Consideration is a relatively small immediate payment of $100,000, but adds contingent value: a 10% royalty on Net Revenue above $20,000,000 and a 4.99% membership interest in the Buyer, alongside customary preemptive and potential registration rights. Actual economic realization will depend on Marizyme asset commercialization and any future revenue performance disclosed in later periods.

Note Purchase Agreement financial
"entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with CABG ACQUISITION CORP."
A note purchase agreement is a contract where an investor buys a company’s promissory note — essentially an IOU promising repayment with interest — instead of buying equity. It matters to investors because it defines the borrower’s repayment schedule, interest rate and legal protections, so it affects expected returns, risk of loss, and where the investor stands compared with shareholders or other creditors if the company runs into trouble.
Co-Development Note financial
"that certain Co-Development Note dated April 11, 2024, by and between Marizyme and the Company"
Security Agreement financial
"that certain Security Agreement dated August 20, 2025, by and between Marizyme, as debtor, and the Company, as secured party"
A security agreement is a legal contract in which a borrower promises specific assets as collateral to a lender until a debt is repaid. Think of it like leaving your car keys with a mechanic while they fix the car — the lender can take or sell the pledged assets if the borrower defaults. For investors, these agreements reveal which company assets are tied up, who gets paid first in trouble, and how risky other creditors’ claims may be.
Net Revenue financial
"royalty payments equal to ten percent (10%) of Net Revenue on all cumulative Net Revenue exceeding $20,000,000"
Net revenue is the total amount of money a company earns from selling its products or services after subtracting any returns, discounts, or refunds. It shows how much actual income the company keeps from its sales. This figure is important because it reveals the true earnings from business activities, helping people understand how well the company is doing.
preemptive right financial
"the Company will have a customary preemptive right, in the event the Buyer proposes to issue any new membership interests"
A preemptive right is a shareholder’s legal chance to buy new shares before they are offered to others, so they can keep the same percentage of ownership in a company. It matters to investors because it protects against dilution of voting power and economic stake—think of it like having first dibs on extra slices of a pizza so your share of the pie doesn’t shrink when more slices are issued.
registration rights financial
"the Company will also have customary registration rights with respect to the membership interest of the Buyer"
Registration rights are contractual promises that let investors require a company to file paperwork with securities regulators so those investors can sell their shares to the public. They matter because they create a path to liquidity and an exit plan—without them, investors may be stuck holding shares for a long time. Think of them like a reserved ticket that guarantees access to a public marketplace when the holder is ready to sell.
