Insights

Soulpower secures related-party bridge funding with costly A Note terms.

Soulpower Acquisition Corporation arranged two unsecured notes with its sponsor-affiliated lender to cover general working capital. The A Note provides up to $785,000 at a flat 22% interest rate payable at maturity, while the B Note offers up to $2,500,000 interest-free but subject to full forgiveness if a business combination closes.

This structure gives liquidity flexibility ahead of an initial business combination, but the A Note’s 22% flat interest represents relatively expensive capital if drawn fully and held to maturity. Both notes are non-convertible, so they do not directly add equity overhang, though they sit as obligations until either repayment, liquidation, or forgiveness for the B Note.

The lender’s ties to the sponsor and leadership, including control by CEO Justin Lafazan, emphasize a related-party nature. Approximately $745,000 has been advanced under the A Note and about $1,212,050 under the B Note as of the report, so subsequent updates in future company filings will show how much additional funding is used and when obligations are resolved relative to the business combination outcome.
