Insights

Newton Golf raises $1.35M via 10% convertible notes with attached warrants.

Newton Golf Company, Inc. has drawn $1.35 million of a possible $2.0 million through unsecured convertible notes carrying 10% paid-in-kind interest and five-year warrants. This structure brings in cash while adding potential future equity dilution.

The notes convert at $1.60 per share, with forced conversion possible if the stock trades at or above $3.00 for 10 consecutive days before the 18‑month maturity. Warrants are exercisable at $1.75 per share, further linking upside to share performance.

Key terms include optional early repayment, a 20% default interest rate, and change-of-control rights allowing holders to choose repayment or conversion. Future filings may detail how much of the remaining $2.0 million capacity is utilized and any piggy-back registration progress for resale of conversion and warrant shares.

Convertible Notes financial
"the Company agreed to issue... unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate funded amount of up to $2,000,000 (the “Convertible Notes”)"
Convertible notes are a type of short-term loan that a company receives from investors, which can later be turned into company shares instead of being paid back in cash. They matter to investors because they offer a way to support a company early on while giving the potential to own a stake in its success if the company grows and later raises more funding.
Warrants financial
"and common stock warrants (the “Warrants” and collectively with the Convertible Notes, the “Securities”)"
Warrants are special documents that give you the right to buy a company's stock at a set price before a certain date. They are often used as a way for companies to attract investors or raise money, and their value can increase if the company's stock price goes up.
piggy-back registration regulatory
"include all Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in the proposed piggy-back registration statement"
Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act regulatory
"in reliance on the exemption afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended"
A legal exemption that allows a company to sell securities directly to a limited group of buyers without registering the offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Think of it like a private sale among known parties rather than a public auction: it can speed fundraising and reduce disclosure requirements, but it also means less public information, lower liquidity and resale restrictions—factors investors should consider when weighing risk and exit options.
Rule 506(b) of Regulation D regulatory
"and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereunder"
Rule 506(b) of Regulation D is a set of rules that allows companies to raise money from investors without having to register with the government, as long as they follow certain guidelines. It lets companies offer securities to a limited number of investors, often trusted or experienced ones, making it easier and quicker to raise funds compared to traditional methods. This rule matters to investors because it provides access to private investment opportunities that are generally less regulated but still require careful consideration.
change of control financial
"Upon the occurrence of a change of control prior to the conversion or repayment of the Convertible Notes"
A change of control occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a sale, merger, or acquisition, resulting in new leadership or ownership structure. This change can impact the company's direction and decision-making, which is important for investors because it may affect the company's stability, strategy, and future prospects.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 7, 2026 and April 9, 2026, Newton Golf Company, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into additional closings on the securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) that the Company entered into on March 16, 2026 and disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K on March 16, 2026 (the “Previous Current Report”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue, and the purchasers agreed to purchase, at one or more closings, on the terms and conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement, unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate funded amount of up to $2,000,000 (the “Convertible Notes”) and common stock warrants (the “Warrants” and collectively with the Convertible Notes, the “Securities”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $1.75 per share, subject to adjustments from time to time (the “Exercise Price”).

 

As previously disclosed on the Previous Current Report, the first closing occurred on March 16, 2026 (the “First Closing”) at which the Company issued, and the purchasers purchased, a Convertible Note with a principal amount of $500,000 and a Warrant to purchase 50,000 Shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”). Such purchasers of the Warrant Shares are entities affiliate with, and controlled by Brett Hoge, one the Company’s directors. At the First Closing, the Company received cash proceeds of $500,000.

 

The second closing occurred on April 7, 2026 (the “Second Closing”) at which the company issued, and the purchasers purchased, a Convertible Note with a principal amount of $500,000 and 50,000 Warrant Shares. At the Second Closing, the Company received cash proceeds of $500,000.

 

The third closing occurred on April 9, 2026 (the “Third Closing”) at which the company issued, and the purchasers purchased, a Convertible Note with a principal amount of $100,000 and 10,000 Warrant Shares. At the Third Closing, the Company received cash proceeds of $100,000.

 

The fourth closing occurred on April 9, 2026 (the “Fourth Closing”) at which the company issued, and the purchasers purchased, a Convertible Note with a principal amount of $250,000 and 25,000 Warrant Shares. At the Fourth Closing, the Company received cash proceeds of $250,000.

 

The Convertible Notes mature 18 months from the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”) and accrue interest at an annual rate of 10% per annum with such interest paid in kind. The outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest of the Convertible Notes on or during the 60 days prior to the Maturity Date, effective on the Maturity Date, convert into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at the conversion price of $1.60 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustments from time to time (the “Conversion Price”), with the number of Conversion Shares to be determined by dividing the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest that is being converted by the Conversion Price (rounded to the nearest whole share so that no fractional shares are issuable). In the event the Company’s Common Stock closes at or above $3.00 per share for 10 consecutive trading days on or before the Maturity Date, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to convert in whole upon 10 calendar days’ written notice to the holders, the Convertible Notes into Conversion Shares at the Conversion Price. Upon the occurrence of a change of control prior to the conversion or repayment of the Convertible Notes, the holders shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to the Company prior to the closing of such change of control, to have the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest repaid in full following such closing or convert the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest into Common Stock at the Conversion Price. The Convertible Notes are repayable by the Company at any time, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, without penalty. Upon an event of default, all principal and unpaid accrued interest shall become due and payable and shall bear interest during the occurrence of such event of default at a rate of 20.0% per annum. Events of default include, among others, failure to pay any principal or interest amounts under the Convertible Notes, failure to perform material covenants in the Convertible Notes and certain bankruptcy and insolvency conditions of the Company.

 

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell at each closing, in addition to a Convertible Note, one accompanying Warrant to purchase the number of Warrant Shares calculated by dividing the principal amount of the holder’s Convertible Note by 10. The Warrants expire five years from the date of issuance. The holder of a Warrant may, in its sole discretion, exercise the Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of the payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercisable (and in lieu of being entitled to receive shares of Common Stock) in the manner required by Section 2.2 of the form of Warrant attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 4.1.

 

 

 

 

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to give each purchaser written notice of its intention to file one or more registration statements covering the resale of any shares of Common Stock held by its stockholders. The Company also agreed to include all Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in the proposed piggy-back registration statement with respect to which the Company has received from a purchaser a written request for inclusion within five calendar days after the date the Company’s notice is sent to the purchaser. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such piggyback registration statement to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, so as to permit the public resale by such purchaser of the Conversion Shares and/or Warrant Shares pursuant thereto, at the Company’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to such purchaser.

 

The Warrants, the Convertible Notes and the Purchase Agreement include other customary terms and conditions. The above description of the Warrants, the Convertible Notes and the Purchase Agreement are qualified in their entirety by the text of the form of Warrant, the form of Convertible Note and the form of Purchase Agreement, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
