Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Viking Global Technologies, Inc. amended the $1,200,000 unsecured convertible note issued to FK Venture LLC. The note’s maturity is now the earlier of April 1, 2027 or the date the company receives written notice of a default under a then-outstanding note in favor of its existing senior secured lender, if the default is not remedied within seven days after receipt. The conversion price is $0.15 per share without such a default and $0.02 per share if one occurs, subject to proportional adjustment for stock splits; the note bears 10% annual interest.

Separately, consolidated subsidiary Viking Protection Systems, LLC borrowed $300,000 from two accredited investors under a note due by December 31, 2026 or at the closing of any financing transaction involving VPS as borrower, whichever comes first. VPS owes a fixed $30,000 interest payment on or before maturity and may prepay at any time. James A. Doris, the company’s chief executive officer and VPS president, gave an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional personal guaranty of payment. After an event of default, the holders may accelerate the note, and interest accrues at 10% per annum.

Filing Explained

The $300,000 VPS note is a direct obligation of the consolidated subsidiary, not the company; it has no conversion rights or warrants, so this financing creates subsidiary debt rather than a disclosed equity-conversion mechanism.

conversion price financial
"the conversion price is $0.15 per share"
The conversion price is the fixed price at which a convertible security, like a bond or preferred stock, can be exchanged for shares of common stock. It acts like a set rate that determines how many shares an investor can receive if they choose to convert their investment. This helps investors understand the value and potential benefits of converting their securities into company shares.
fixed interest amount financial
"a fixed interest amount equal to 10% of the principal amount"
personal guaranty financial
"absolute, irrevocable and unconditional personal guaranty of payment"
events of default financial
"The VPS Note includes events of default"
Events of default are specific breaches or failures listed in a loan, bond, or credit agreement that give lenders the right to act, such as demanding immediate repayment, raising interest rates, or taking secured assets. They matter to investors because triggering one is like setting off a financial alarm: it raises the chance of foreclosure, restructuring, or bankruptcy and can sharply reduce the value of a company’s stock or bonds and increase borrowing costs.

As previously disclosed, on April 7, 2025, Viking Global Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), then named Camber Energy, Inc., issued to FK Venture LLC (the “Investor”) an unsecured convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $1,200,000, which bears interest at 10% per annum and had a maturity date of September 30, 2026 (the “FK Note”). On September 30, 2026, the Company and the Investor entered into Amendment No. 1 to the FK Note (the “Amendment”). The Amendment changes the maturity date of the FK Note to the earlier of (i) April 1, 2027 or (ii) the date on which, if applicable, the Company receives written notice of a default under any promissory note then outstanding in favor of the Company’s existing senior secured lender, if the default is not remedied within seven days after receipt of the notice (a “Senior P. Note Default”). The Company must promptly give the holder a copy of any such default notice. The Amendment deletes and replaces Section 1.2 of the FK Note so that the conversion price is $0.15 per share if there is no Senior P. Note Default, or $0.02 per share if there is a Senior P. Note Default, in each case subject to proportional adjustment for stock splits. Except as expressly stated in the Amendment, all other terms of the FK Note remain in full force and effect.
