American Rebel (AREB) secures new financing and converts loans into stock
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
American Rebel Holdings entered into multiple financing and restructuring transactions involving debt and equity. A new Securities Purchase Agreement with 1800 Diagonal Lending provides a $124,200 promissory note carrying an original issue discount and fees that yield $100,000 in cash, with scheduled repayments totaling $147,487. On default, the note becomes immediately due at a premium, with default interest up to 22% and a right for 1800 to convert unpaid principal into stock at a 25% discount, subject to a 4.99% ownership cap.
With Streeterville Capital, the company partitioned a prior $5,470,000 secured note into new notes of $175,000 and $155,000, then exchanged those for 652,254 and 1,000,000 shares, reducing the original note’s balance. The disclosure also details a separate $6,235,000 secured convertible note held by Streeterville, bearing 10% interest, secured by subsidiary guarantees, a deposit account control agreement, and restrictive covenants on additional financings.
An Exchange and Settlement Agreement with Agile Capital Funding converts all amounts due under a prior $787,500 loan into 1,069,710 shares at $0.1725 per share, fully satisfying that obligation. Additional unregistered issuances include stock to an executive upon preferred share conversion, debt-for-equity exchanges with Streeterville and Agile, payments in shares to Silverback Capital, and a conversion by 1800 Diagonal Lending of $40,000 of principal into 352,035 shares, all claimed as exempt private offerings.

Filing Explained
Completed settlement issuances dilute existing holders; Silverback requests remain unresolved, while the new 1800 note creates only default-triggered conversion capacity.
This Form 8-K reports material agreements and securities transactions: shares were issued in several debt or preferred-stock settlements, while two Silverback entries are described as requests for issuance rather than completed issuances.
The issued shares increase the share count and, absent offsetting changes, reduce existing holders’ percentage ownership; the Silverback requests have not been described at that same completed stage.
The July 6 1800 Diagonal note provides net proceeds of
The separate Streeterville financing documents restrict specified new debt and variable-price or reset securities without lender consent, subject to stated exceptions; this is an issuance constraint, not an additional share issuance in this report.
