Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Flux Power Holdings, Inc. entered into an amended and restated securities purchase agreement and completed a private placement of Prefunded Warrants and Common Warrants for gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million. Investors purchased 258,144 Prefunded Warrants and 1,214,769 Common Warrants; some consideration was paid in cash and some through cancellation of existing company debt. The company plans to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes and growth capital.

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock underlying the Prefunded Warrants carries an 8.0% cumulative cash dividend and is convertible into common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.058 per share, with automatic conversion on specified triggers including the fifth anniversary of closing. Common Warrants are exercisable at $1.715 per share for five years and may be exercised on a cashless basis, subject to 4.99% or 9.99% beneficial ownership limits. A registration rights agreement requires the company to seek resale registration of the underlying common shares.

As part of the transaction, a note held by Cleveland Capital with $1,000,000 of principal outstanding plus accrued interest was deemed paid in full in exchange for securities, and the related Cleveland Credit Facility for up to $2.0 million of undrawn credit was terminated, with the note cancelled. Upon this conversion of Cleveland obligations into equity, the maturity date under the company’s Loan and Security Agreement was automatically extended to July 31, 2027.

Insights

Flux Power raises $5M, converts $1M debt to equity, and extends key loan maturity.

Flux Power Holdings completed a private placement of Prefunded and Common Warrants for gross proceeds of about $5.0 million. The securities structure concentrates economic exposure in Series A Preferred Stock, which is convertible into common shares at an initial price of $2.058, and in Common Warrants exercisable at $1.715 per share over five years. An 8.0% cumulative dividend on the preferred and the cashless exercise feature on the warrants shift some value toward new investors while limiting their upfront cash outlay.

A notable element is the $1,000,000 principal on the Cleveland Capital note, plus accrued interest, being fully settled through issuance of securities. This removes that obligation and simultaneously terminates an undrawn $2.0 million credit facility, reducing reliance on that lender but also eliminating that specific liquidity backstop. In parallel, once the Cleveland obligations converted into equity, the maturity on the main Loan and Security Agreement extended to July 31, 2027, providing longer-term financing visibility.

Ownership is constrained by 4.99% or 9.99% beneficial ownership limits on warrant exercises, which staggers potential conversion pressure. Registration rights require Flux Power to seek effectiveness of a resale registration statement within 75 days of filing, which, once effective, will permit secondary sales of the underlying common stock. The overall effect is a shift toward equity-linked capital with defined conversion mechanics and an extended senior debt runway, while future dilution will depend on investor exercise and conversion decisions.

Each Prefunded Warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), for $0.001 per share. Purchasers of Prefunded Warrants were also issued an additional five (5) year warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) equal to fifty percent (50%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Common Warrants,” and together with the Prefunded Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Warrants, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Prefunded Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants are referred herein as the “Securities”.

The Purchase Price was paid in cash or, in lieu of cash, cancellation of certain existing debt by the Company.

 

The closing of the Private Placement contemplated by the Purchase Agreement occurred simultaneously on September 15, 2025 upon the satisfaction of certain customary conditions (the “Closing”). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general corporate purposes and growth capital.

FAQ

What financing transaction did Flux Power (FLUX) complete in this 8-K?

Flux Power completed a private placement in which investors purchased 258,144 Prefunded Warrants and 1,214,769 Common Warrants for gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million, paid in cash and by cancelling certain existing company debt.

Cleveland Capital’s subscription price for its securities in the private placement was applied to fully satisfy all obligations under a Subordinated Unsecured Promissory Note, including $1,000,000 of principal and all accrued interest, so those Cleveland Obligations were deemed paid in full and the related note was cancelled.
