Rhea-AI Filing Summary
HNO International, Inc. entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with CFI Capital LLC and issued a $150,000 convertible redeemable promissory note carrying a $12,000 original issue discount for a purchase price of $138,000. After a $5,000 legal fee deduction, the Company expects net proceeds of about $133,000.
The note matures on March 12, 2027 and bears 8% annual interest.

The Company agreed to irrevocably reserve 7,861,635 common shares for potential conversions and to maintain a reservation equal to five times the amount needed for full conversion. The note also includes a most-favored-nation provision, allowing the holder to adopt more favorable terms granted in future financings.

Insights
Small convertible note adds cash but introduces discounted equity overhang.
HNO International issued a $150,000 convertible redeemable note with 8% interest, receiving roughly $133,000 in net cash. For a smaller issuer, this is a modest but meaningful capital infusion structured as debt that can later turn into equity.
The conversion formula uses 60% of the lowest trading price over 20 days, with deeper discounts if there is a DTC chill or an event of default. That, combined with a requirement to reserve 7,861,635 shares and maintain a five-times buffer, points to potential dilution if the lender converts aggressively.
The most-favored-nation clause means any future financing on better terms could improve this holder’s position as well. Actual impact on the share count and trading will depend on future stock prices, conversion timing after the six-month mark, and whether default-related discounts are ever triggered.

On March 12, 2026, HNO International, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with CFI Capital LLC (the "Buyer"), pursuant to which the Company issued to the Buyer a Convertible Redeemable Promissory Note (the "Note") in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000, with a $12,000 original issue discount, resulting in a purchase price of $138,000.

Conversions are limited by a 4.99% beneficial ownership cap (increasable to 9.9% upon 61 days' prior notice). The Company has agreed to irrevocably reserve 7,861,635 shares of common stock for conversions under the Note and to maintain a share reservation equal to five times the amount necessary for full conversion.
