Rhea-AI Filing Summary

MOBIX LABS, INC. (MOBX) entered into new financing and governance changes. On August 28, 2026, the company issued a $1,200,000 senior secured convertible promissory note to Leviston Resources, LLC for a $1,000,000 purchase price, bearing 10% annual interest and maturing on December 25, 2026. Leviston may convert principal and interest into Class A Common Stock at the lesser of the August 28, 2026 closing price or 85% of the lowest 8-day VWAP before conversion, with all obligations increasing to 125% upon an event of default.

The company also agreed to sell Kips Bay Select, LP 1,000 shares of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock for $1,000 per share and issued a warrant to purchase up to 6,000 additional preferred shares at $1,000 per share, plus 834,782 Class A Extension Shares as consideration. Conversion of the note and preferred shares requires stockholder approval and is subject to Nasdaq share issuance limits, with resale registration rights granted. Separately, all Class B Common Stock was converted into Class A Common Stock, eliminating super-voting and class-specific director election rights and reconstituting the board under a single common stock class.

Positive

  • Elimination of dual-class structure: All Class B Common Stock converted into Class A, simplifying the capital structure so only one class of common stock, each with one vote per share, remains outstanding.
  • Additional capital access: MOBX secured a $1.0 million cash investment via the Leviston convertible note plus a preferred stock financing framework with Kips that could provide up to $7.0 million in gross proceeds if the warrant is fully exercised.

Negative

  • Potential dilution: The Leviston note converts at the lesser of the August 28, 2026 closing price or 85% of the lowest 8-day VWAP, and Kips holds preferred shares, a warrant for 6,000 additional preferred shares, and 834,782 Extension Shares, all of which could increase the Class A share count.
  • High-cost secured debt: The Leviston note is senior secured, carries a 10% annual interest rate, and upon an event of default all obligations increase to 125% of the outstanding amount, adding downside risk if the company breaches covenants.

senior secured convertible promissory note financial
"issued to Leviston Resources, LLC a senior secured convertible promissory note"
A senior secured convertible promissory note is a formal IOU a company issues that is backed by specific assets (secured), given higher priority for repayment than other debts (senior), and can be exchanged for company shares instead of cash (convertible). For investors this means the loan is safer than unsecured debt because it has collateral and repayment priority, but it also carries the potential for dilution if the lender converts the note into equity — like holding a mortgage-backed IOU that can later be swapped for ownership stakes.
VWAP financial
"85% of the lowest 8-day VWAP of the Common Stock immediately prior"
VWAP, or Volume-Weighted Average Price, is a way to find the average price of a stock throughout the trading day, giving more importance to times when more shares are traded. It helps traders see the typical price and decide whether a stock is expensive or cheap compared to its average, similar to finding the average speed during a trip by giving more weight to times when you traveled faster or slower.
Registration Rights Agreement financial
"pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on March 31, 2026"
A registration rights agreement is a contract that gives investors the option to have their ownership stakes officially registered with the government, making it easier to sell their shares later. This agreement matters because it provides investors with a clearer path to cash out their investments if they choose, offering more liquidity and confidence in their ability to sell their holdings when desired.

Nasdaq rules are a set of guidelines and requirements that companies must follow to be listed and remain on the Nasdaq stock exchange.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 28, 2026, Mobix Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) issued to Leviston Resources, LLC (“Leviston”) a senior secured convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $1,200,000 (the “Convertible Note”) for a purchase price of $1,000,000, and has been issued pursuant to an investor rights agreement dated August 28, 2026 by and between the Company and Leviston (the “Leviston Investor Rights Agreement”). In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Note, on August 28, 2026 the Company and Leviston entered into a third amendment to the securities purchase agreement entered into on March 31, 2026 (as amended, the “Leviston Securities Purchase Agreement”), as previously disclosed in a Current Report on 8-K dated April 3, 2026.

 

The Convertible Note includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, and bears interest at an annual rate of 10%, accruing from the original issue date of August 28, 2026. The Convertible Note matures on December 25, 2026, at which time the outstanding principal and accrued interest are due and payable in cash, unless earlier converted in accordance with its terms. Following an Event of Default (as defined in the Convertible Note), all amounts owing by the Company to Leviston shall be increased to an amount equal to 125% of the then outstanding obligations. At any time prior to maturity, Leviston may convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of Company Class A Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) in the manner set forth in the Convertible Note. Subject to adjustment as set forth in the Convertible Note, the conversion price is the lesser of (A) the closing price on August 28, 2026 and (B) 85% of the lowest 8-day VWAP of the Common Stock immediately prior to and including the date of the conversion notice.

 

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on March 31, 2026, as amended on May 18, 2026 and June 22, 2026, between the Company and Leviston (the “Leviston Registration Rights Agreement”), the Company the Company has agreed to register the resale of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note.

 

Additionally, on August 28, 2026, the Company entered into a second amendment to the securities purchase agreement initially entered into with Kips Bay Select, LP (“Kips”) on May 19, 2026, as further amended on June 18, 2026 (as amended, the “Kips Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to Kips (i) 1,000 shares of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,000, and (ii) a Preferred Stock Purchase Warrant the (“Warrant”) to purchase up to an additional 6,000 shares of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $1,000 per share (the shares of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the transaction the “Preferred Shares”).

 

Pursuant to a second amendment to the registration rights agreement initially entered into with Kips on May 19, 2026, as amended on June 18, 2026, and August 28, 2026 (as amended, the “Kips Registration Rights Agreement”), the Company has agreed to register the resale of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, including the Preferred Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. On August 28, 2026, the Company also issued to Kips 834,782 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Extension Shares”) in consideration for Kips’ entry into the amendment to the Kips Purchase Agreement and the extensions and accommodations provided therein.

 

The Warrant is exercisable beginning August 28, 2026 and expires no later than twelve months thereafter.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Kips Purchase Agreement, the Company may not issue shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant upon conversion of the Preferred Shares to the extent such issuance would require prior stockholder approval under Nasdaq rules.

 

The securities described above are being offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

The conversion of the Convertible Note and the Preferred Shares is conditioned on receipt of stockholder approval. The issuances of the Convertible Note, Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock, the Extension Shares and Warrant were effected in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Securities Act, including Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereunder. The issuance of Class A Common Stock underlying the Convertible Note and Preferred Shares will be effected in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Securities Act, including Section 3(a)(9) thereof.

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

 

On August 24, 2026, all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock were converted to shares of Class A Common Stock following the delivery of conversion notices by all holders of the outstanding Class B Common Stock (the “Conversion”). Upon effectiveness of the Conversion, no shares of Class B Common Stock remained outstanding, and all shares of Class B Common Stock that were converted were retired and cancelled in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and may not be reissued. As a result of the conversion, the Company has only one class of common stock outstanding, its Class A Common Stock.

 

The Conversion modified the rights of the Company’s security holders as follows:

 

Class B director election rights. Prior to the Conversion, the holders of the Class B Common Stock had the right to elect three directors (the “Class B Directors”). Upon effectiveness of the Conversion, that right terminated in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation because no shares of Class B Common Stock remained outstanding, and the term of office of each Class B Director terminated automatically.
Voting power. Prior to the Conversion, each outstanding share of Class A Common Stock was entitled to one vote per share, and each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock was entitled to ten votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders (except that, for purposes of electing the Class B Directors described below, each share of Class B Common Stock was entitled to one vote per share), with the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock voting together as a single class except as otherwise required by the Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law. In addition, for so long as shares of Class B Common Stock remained outstanding, (i) the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a single class, had the right to elect three directors (the “Class B Directors”), and (ii) the Company was prohibited from taking specified actions, including certain amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation, without the separate approval of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Class B Common Stock. As a result of the Conversion, no shares of Class B Common Stock remain outstanding; all outstanding shares of common stock consist of Class A Common Stock, each entitled to one vote per share; and the ten-vote-per-share voting rights of the Class B Common Stock, the separate right of the Class B Common Stock to elect the Class B Directors, and the separate class-approval (protective) rights of the Class B Common Stock no longer apply.

 

Reference is made to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, which describes in full the rights, powers, preferences, and restrictions of the Class A Common Stock and the former Class B Common Stock.

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

Departure of Directors

 

As described in Item 3.03 above, upon effectiveness of the Conversion, no shares of Class B Common Stock remained outstanding. Under the Certificate of Incorporation, the right of the holders of the Class B Common Stock to elect the three Class B Directors existed only for so long as shares of Class B Common Stock remained outstanding. Accordingly, upon effectiveness of the Conversion, the term of office of each of the Company’s three Class B Directors, Frederick Goerner (a Class I director), Keyvan Samini (a Class II director), and James Peterson (a Class III director), terminated automatically pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, and the total authorized number of directors of the Company automatically decreased by three to five. In connection with the automatic termination of Mr. Peterson’s term of office, Mr. Peterson’s service as Chairman of the Board also ceased.

 

 
 

 

The automatic termination of the terms of office of Messrs. Goerner, Samini, and Peterson resulted solely from the operation of the Certificate of Incorporation upon the Final Conversion and did not result from any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.

 

Election of Directors

 

Effective immediately following the Conversion described above, the remaining members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), acting by unanimous written consent, took the following actions:

 

increased the total authorized number of directors of the Company from five to eight, creating three newly created directorships, one in each of Class I, Class II, and Class III; and
appointed each of the following individuals to fill a newly created directorship, in each case to hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders at which the directors of his class next stand for election and until his successor has been duly elected and qualified, subject to earlier death, resignation, disqualification, or removal:

 

Frederick Goerner, as a Class I director;
Keyvan Samini, as a Class II director; and
James Peterson, as a Class III director.

 

From and after their appointment, each of Messrs. Goerner, Samini, and Peterson serves as a director elected by, and subject to election by, the holders of the Company’s capital stock generally entitled to vote in the election of directors, and none of them constitutes a “Class B Director” under the Certificate of Incorporation.

 

In connection with the foregoing, the Board (i) appointed Mr. Peterson as Executive Chairman of the Board; (ii) appointed each of Messrs. Peterson, Goerner, and Samini as a member of the Executive Committee of the Board, and restated the composition of the Executive Committee to consist of Messrs. Peterson, Goerner, Samini, and Philip Sansone; and (iii) appointed Mr. Goerner as a member of the Audit Committee of the Board. The Board confirmed its prior determination that Mr. Goerner is independent within the meaning of Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act and the applicable listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.

 

There is no arrangement or understanding between any of Messrs. Goerner, Samini, and Peterson and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director
