Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Fitell Corporation entered a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor allowing sales of up to $100 million in senior secured convertible notes, split into $70 million Series A (registered) and $30 million Series B (private placement). An Initial Closing delivered a Series A Note with $11 million original principal for proceeds of $10,780,000, bearing 6% annual interest and maturing on September 23, 2027.

The notes are senior secured against substantially all company and subsidiary assets, including cryptocurrency bought with proceeds, and are immediately convertible into Class A ordinary shares, subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership cap. Fitell must use at least $10 million from the Initial Closing and at least 70% of additional closings to purchase specified cryptocurrency as part of a Solana treasury strategy, with the balance for working capital. The company also executed a 1-for-16 share consolidation effective September 23, 2025 to help regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, while its officers and directors agreed to 180‑day lock-ups.

Insights

Fitell secures up to $100M in secured convertibles tied to a crypto treasury strategy.

Fitell Corporation arranged up to $100 million of senior secured convertible notes, with an Initial Closing of $11 million in Series A paper and potential follow-on tranches up to $85 million. The notes rank senior and are secured on substantially all assets, including cryptocurrency bought with proceeds.

Interest of 6% is generally payable monthly in shares, which can introduce ongoing equity issuance, and steps up to 13% on default. Conversion is price‑based, with a 9.99% beneficial ownership cap, so actual dilution depends on future trading prices and holder elections rather than fixed ratios.

A notable feature is the mandated allocation of at least $10 million from the Initial Closing and at least 70% of additional closings into cryptocurrency to support a Solana‑focused treasury strategy, concentrating part of the balance sheet in a volatile asset class. The concurrent 1‑for‑16 share consolidation effective September 23, 2025 aims to address Nasdaq’s minimum bid price deficiency, with 180‑day lock‑ups by officers and directors helping limit insider selling during this period.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 19, 2025, Fitell Corporation, a Cayman Islands company (the “Company”), entered into that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a certain institutional investor (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which and subject to certain conditions precedent contained therein, the Company may sell to the Buyer from time to time an aggregate of up to $100 million in newly issued senior secured convertible notes of the Company (the “Notes”) in two series: (i) Series A Senior Secured Convertible notes, in an aggregate original principal amount up to $70 million (the “Series A Notes”), to be issued and sold pursuant to the Company’s effective Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-284232) (the “Shelf Registration Statement”); and (ii) Series B Senior Secured Convertible Notes, in an aggregate original principal amount up to $30 million (the “Series B Notes” and together with the Series A Notes, the “Notes”), to be issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder (the “Transaction”).

 

Upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, on September 23, 2025, we issued and sold to the Buyer a Series A Note in the aggregate original principal amount of $11 million, which will be due on September 23, 2027, for an aggregate purchase price of $10,780,000 (the “Initial Closing”). Upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, we expect to issue in a second closing a Series A Note in the aggregate original principal amount of $4 million (the “Second Closing”) upon the earlier of (i) the date the Company receives written confirmation from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirements as set as forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) and (ii) the date the Company receives written confirmation from Nasdaq that Nasdaq has granted the Company a 180-day extension to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Upon thirty Trading Days (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) after the Second Closing and subject to certain conditions, the Company has the option to request that the Buyer purchase additional Notes (the “Company’s Option Closing”), and the Buyer has the option to cause the Company to sell additional Notes (the “Buyer’s Option Closing”), provided that the subsequent closings with respect to Company’s Option Closing and the Buyer’s Option Closing shall not exceed $85 million in the aggregate. The Company has agreed, subject to certain exceptions contained in the Purchase Agreement, to use (i) at least $10 million of the net proceeds from the Initial Closing to purchase certain cryptocurrency with the remainder to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, (ii) the net proceeds from the Second Closing for working capital and general corporate purposes, and (iii) at least 70% of the net proceeds from any additional closing to purchase certain cryptocurrency with the remainder to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

Interest will be payable monthly under the Notes at a rate of 6.0% per annum. The interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and shall be payable in arrears on the first calendar day of each calendar month (each, an “Interest Date”) with the first Interest Date being November 1, 2025. Interest will be payable on each Interest Date, in Ordinary Shares (the “Interest Shares”), so long as there has been no Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the Notes) provided however, that the Company may, at its option following notice to the Buyer, pay Interest on any Interest Date in cash (the “Cash Interest”) or in a combination of Cash Interest and Interest Shares. The Initial Note contains, and each additional Note will contain, customary Events of Default (as defined in the Notes) and the Interest Rate will increase to an annual rate of 13% upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. The Initial Note ranks, and all other Notes will rank, senior to all outstanding and future indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions contained in the Notes) and will be secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all of the existing and future assets of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including all of the capital stock of each of the domestic subsidiaries and the cryptocurrency purchased with the net proceeds of the Notes, as evidenced by a security agreement (“Security Agreement”) also entered into between the parties on September 19, 2025. The Initial Note will be due on September 23, 2027 and any other Notes issued will be due on the two-year anniversary of the date of issuance unless earlier converted or repaid.

 

The Initial Note is, and all other Notes will be, immediately convertible into our Class A ordinary shares (such shares, the “Conversion Shares”), par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), at the option of the Buyer. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of a Note shall be determined by dividing (x) the Conversion Amount by the lower of: (y) the Conversion Price and (z) the Market Price (as such terms are defined in the Notes). At the option of the holder, at any time on or after the issuance date, the holder may convert) (an “Alternate Optional Conversion”, and the date of such Alternate Optional Conversion, an “Alternate Optional Conversion Date”) all, or any part, of the Notes into Ordinary Shares (such portion of the Conversion Amount subject to such Alternate Optional Conversion, the “Alternate Optional Conversion Amount”) at the Alternate Conversion Price, as such terms are defined in the Notes.

 

 

 

 

A Note holder will not have the right to convert any portion of a Note, to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the holder (together with certain of its affiliates and other related parties) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). However, a Note holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company.

 

In connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Buyer also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “RRA”). Pursuant to the RRA, the Company agreed to register for resale the Ordinary Shares that are issuable upon conversion of the Series B Notes. If the registration statement covering the resale of the Series B Conversion Shares is not filed or declared effective by certain dates as set forth in the RRA, the Company will be required to pay the Buyer certain amounts as liquidated damages.

 

The offer and sale to the Buyer of the Series A Notes, as well as the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of or in payment of interest on the Series A Notes, was made and will be pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, which was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 5, 2025. A prospectus supplement relating to the Series A Notes and related Ordinary Shares has been filed with the SEC.

 

The offer and sale to the Buyer of the Series B Notes, as well as the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of or in payment of interest on the Series B Notes, will be made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

Rodman & Renshaw LLC (the “Placement Agent”) acted as the sole placement agent in connection with the offering of the Notes. At each closing, the Company has agreed to (i) pay the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 4.0% of the cash proceeds received by the Company from such closing, after deducting solely the proceeds allocated to acquire cryptocurrency pursuant to Section 4(d) the Purchase Agreement, (ii) issue to the Placement Agent Ordinary Shares (the “Placement Agent Shares”), with the market value (based on the closing price prior to the date of the issuance of such Ordinary Shares) equal to 2.0% of the cash proceeds received by the Company from a Closing allocated to acquire cryptocurrency pursuant to Section 4(d) of the Purchase Agreement, (iii) reimburse the Placement Agent for fees and expenses of legal counsel and other out-of-pocket expenses in the amount of $45,000 and (iv) pay the Placement Agent’s closing costs, which shall also include the reimbursement of the out-of-pocket costs of the escrow agent or clearing agent, as applicable, which closing costs shall not exceed $15,950.

 

The Company has also agreed to file a Registration Statement on Form F-3 to register the resale of the Placement Agent Shares as soon as practicable, but in any case by the earlier of: (i) November 30, 2025 and (ii) the date of the filing of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for the Series B Conversion Shares, which Placement Agent Shares shall be included in such Registration Statement.

 

In addition, on September 19, 2025, the Company’s officers and directors entered into lock-up agreements with the Company, pursuant to which such officers and directors agreed to a lock-up period of 180 days following the Initial Closing, subject to customary exceptions.

Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement

 

As previously disclosed on April 3, 2025, the Company received a notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq notifying the Company that the minimum bid price of the Ordinary Shares had been below US$1.00 per share for a period of 30 consecutive business days and that therefore the Company did not comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Company was granted 180 calendar days until September 29, 2025 to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

 

On September 18, 2025, the Company announced the implementation of share consolidation of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares at a ratio of 1-for-16, with a post-share consolidation par value of $0.0016, to be effective as of the market opening on September 23, 2025. The Share Consolidation is being implemented, in part, to ensure the Company meets the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of the Ordinary Shares and seek to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

FAQ

What financing did Fitell Corporation (FTEL) arrange in this 6-K?

Fitell arranged up to $100 million in senior secured convertible notes with an institutional investor. This includes $70 million of registered Series A Notes and $30 million of privately placed Series B Notes, providing a structured source of capital through multiple potential closings.

How much capital did Fitell (FTEL) raise in the Initial Closing and on what terms?

In the Initial Closing, Fitell issued a Series A Note with $11 million original principal for proceeds of $10,780,000. The note bears 6% annual interest, payable monthly, generally in shares, and matures on September 23, 2027, with a higher rate upon default.

How will Fitell (FTEL) use proceeds from the convertible notes?

Fitell must use at least $10 million from the Initial Closing and at least 70% of additional closings to purchase specified cryptocurrency. Remaining proceeds from each applicable closing are designated for working capital and general corporate purposes under the purchase agreement.

What is Fitell’s (FTEL) Solana treasury strategy mentioned in the 6-K?

The company launched a Solana treasury strategy funded partly by note proceeds. It plans to allocate significant portions of Initial and future closings to buying specified cryptocurrency, with the purchased crypto pledged as collateral securing the senior secured convertible notes.

How do Fitell’s senior secured convertible notes affect potential dilution for FTEL shareholders?

The notes are immediately convertible into Class A ordinary shares using a formula based on conversion price or market price. A 9.99% beneficial ownership cap limits any holder’s post‑conversion stake, but actual dilution depends on future share prices and conversion decisions.

What steps is Fitell (FTEL) taking to regain Nasdaq minimum bid price compliance?

After receiving a Nasdaq notice for trading below $1.00, Fitell implemented a 1‑for‑16 share consolidation effective September 23, 2025.

What lock-up and placement agent arrangements did Fitell (FTEL) agree to?

Officers and directors entered 180‑day lock-up agreements after the Initial Closing. Fitell will pay the placement agent a 4% cash fee on eligible proceeds, issue shares worth 2% of certain crypto‑allocated proceeds, and reimburse up to $60,950 in specified fees and costs.
