Insights

Equity capital markets analyst

Insider acquired note and warrant; later amended pricing and size.

The reporting person acquired a $4,000,000 Convertible Note due 2027 at a conversion price of $4.32 tied to 462,962 underlying shares for initial advances, and a warrant for 138,889 shares at $4.32. These are derivative positions rather than immediate common stock purchases.

On Nov 5, 2025, the documents were amended: the note’s $4.32 conversion price applies only to the first $2,000,000 advanced, with further advances at a floating price per the note, and the warrant’s exercise price rose to $4.32 while underlying shares were reduced from 281,030 to 138,889.

The warrant is exercisable once NYSE American approves a supplemental listing for the underlying shares. Actual impact depends on future conversions, exercises, and exchange approval.
