Insights

Credit analyst

$5.505M loan adds liquidity; terms include 8% rate and OID.

NWBO secured a $5,505,000 loan from Streeterville with a 8% annual interest rate and a 10% original issue discount. The structure defers cash outflow for eight months, then shifts to scheduled amortization.

Beginning June 26, 2026, principal amortizes over 14 equal monthly installments at 110% of the pro rata principal amount, plus accrued interest. Prepayment is permitted but carries a 10% charge, and customary default terms allow potential acceleration.

Near term, this provides operating cash for ongoing activities. Actual cash cost reflects interest, the OID, and the prepayment premium if used. Key milestones are the first payment on June 26, 2026 and completion of the 14‑month amortization thereafter.
