Launch One Acquisition Corp. entered into a new working capital promissory note with its sponsor allowing loans of up to $1,000,000 in three tranches. The initial loan is $500,000, with two optional $250,000 loans tied to signing a deal-related agreement or calling a shareholder meeting to extend the business combination deadline.
Each loan carries a 20% original issue discount so the principal equals 125% of cash funded, annual interest of 8% and a default rate totaling 26%, plus a 10% prepayment penalty. The sponsor separately arranged matching financing backed by a pledge of 2,932,500 Class B shares, which are the sole recourse for those lenders. The company’s board pursued this structure in light of its limited year-end cash balance to cover past and ongoing expenses.
