Insights

RIME swaps $3.5M debt-like funding into senior non-convertible preferred stock.

Algorhythm Holdings carved out a $3,500,000 portion of Secured Pre-Paid Purchase #4 and exchanged it for 3,500 shares of new Series A Preferred Stock. Secured Pre-Paid Purchase #4’s outstanding balance is now $7,202,371.69, under a broader pre-paid purchase capacity of up to $20,000,000.

The Series A Preferred carries a 9% annual preferred return on a $1,150 stated value per share, compounding daily and payable quarterly in cash or additional preferred. It is non-convertible, has limited voting rights, and can be redeemed at 110% of its applicable liquidation amount at the board’s discretion.

The preferred stock ranks senior to common equity for dividends and liquidation and includes covenants limiting certain security issuances, share changes, asset pledges, dispositions, reverse splits and fundamental transactions. These terms shift priority toward the new preferred holder and constrain some future capital-structure decisions, with overall impact depending on how much of the authorized 15,000 preferred shares is ultimately issued.

"3,500 shares (the “Exchange Shares”) of the Company’s newly created Series A Preferred Stock"
Series A preferred stock is a type of ownership share in a company that gives investors certain advantages, such as priority in receiving profits or getting their money back if the company is sold or goes bankrupt. It is often issued during early funding stages to attract investors by offering more security than common shares. This stock matters to investors because it provides a safer way to invest while still holding potential for future gains.
Certificate of Designation regulatory
"filed the Certificate of Designation of Preferences and Rights of Series A Preferred Stock"
A certificate of designation is a formal document that spells out the specific rights and rules attached to a particular class or series of stock, usually preferred shares. Think of it as a rulebook or menu that lists dividend terms, liquidation priority, conversion or redemption rights and any special voting protections; investors use it to judge how much income, control or downside protection those shares will provide compared with other securities.
Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933 regulatory
"The Exchange Shares were issued in exchange for the Partitioned Pre-Paid Purchase pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933"
Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933 is a limited registration exemption that lets holders swap one security for another issued by the same company—common in reorganizations, mergers, exchanges or bankruptcy—without the company having to register the transaction with the SEC. Think of it like trading in an old product for a new model from the same maker: investors care because it can speed restructuring, cut legal costs and paperwork, and affect when and how shares become tradable, which in turn influences liquidity and potential dilution.

Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed, on February 17, 2026, Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Secured Pre-Paid Purchase #4 in the principal amount of $10,355,000 (“Secured Pre-Paid Purchase #4”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Streeterville”), under that certain securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), dated August 21, 2025, between the Company and Streeterville. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell shares of its common stock to Streeterville in one or more pre-paid purchases (each, a “Pre-Paid Purchase” and collectively, the “Pre-Paid Purchases”) for an aggregate purchase price of up to $20,000,000.

 

On June 29, 2026, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Streeterville. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company and Streeterville agreed to partition a new Pre-Paid Purchase (the “Partitioned Pre-Paid Purchase”) in the original principal amount of $3,500,000 (the “Partitioned Amount”) from Secured Pre-Paid Purchase #4 and reduce the outstanding balance of Secured Pre-Paid Purchase #4 by an amount equal to the Partitioned Amount. The parties then exchanged the resulting Partitioned Pre-Paid Purchase for 3,500 shares (the “Exchange Shares”) of the Company’s newly created Series A Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The parties agreed that, immediately following cancellation of the Partitioned Amount, the outstanding balance of Secured Pre-Paid Purchase #4 was $7,202,371.69.

 

On June 29, 2026, in connection with the issuance of the Exchange Shares, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation of Preferences and Rights of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Certificate of Designation designates 15,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share, as Series A Preferred Stock and provides that each share of Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,150 (the “Stated Value”). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock accrues a preferred return on the Stated Value at a rate of 9% per annum (the “Preferred Return”) which compounds daily and is payable quarterly in cash or additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the Company’s election. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Certificate of Designation, the Stated Value will automatically increase to 15%, which increase may be applied up to three times for three separate events of default.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock is non-convertible and has no voting rights except in certain limited circumstances. It is not entitled to participate in dividends, distributions or payments to holders of the Company’s common stock and may be redeemed by the Company, at the sole discretion of its board of directors, for a cash redemption price equal to 110% of the applicable liquidation amount. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to all shares of the Company’s capital stock, including the Company’s common stock, with respect to dividends, distributions and payments upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up. The Certificate of Designation also contains covenants restricting certain issuances of securities, changes to authorized shares, asset pledges, asset dispositions, reverse stock splits and fundamental transactions.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Exchange Agreement and Certificate of Designation do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Exchange Agreement and Certificate of Designation, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 3.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

The Exchange Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
