Insights

VIP Play increases high-cost, related-party convertible debt with potential equity dilution.

VIP Play, Inc. reports total principal outstanding of $24,500,626 under a discretionary line with Excel Family Partners, up from $12,097,000 at signing. The note carries a fixed 12.0% annual interest rate and is payable on demand, concentrating financing with a single insider-controlled lender.

Excel, controlled by the company’s secretary and sole director, also holds a conversion right at 80% of the “Lowest Recent Price,” with a floor of $0.50 per share when no recent issuances exist. This structure combines leverage, related-party exposure and potential equity issuance if Excel elects to convert.

The document outlines adjustment mechanisms for stock splits, combinations, and reorganizations, preserving Excel’s economic position through corporate actions. Actual impact on shareholders will depend on future borrowing decisions, interest servicing, and whether Excel chooses to exercise its conversion rights.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

In a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 2, 2025, VIP Play, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) disclosed that on March 31, 2025 the Company entered into a First Amended and Restated Discretionary Convertible Revolving Line Of Credit Demand Note with Excel Family Partners, LLLP, a Florida limited liability limited partnership (“Excel”) in the principal amount of not more than $14,000,000 (the “Note”). Excel is controlled by Mr. Bruce Cassidy, our Secretary and sole member of our board of directors. The Note does not constitute a committed line of credit. Loans under the Note are made by Excel in its sole and absolute discretion. Upon repayment of any amount of principal or interest under the Note, we may not reborrow under the Note.

 

The aggregate outstanding principal balance of all loans under the Note as of the date we entered into the Note was $12,097,000. We borrowed an additional aggregate amount of $1,214,313 in seven separate draws under the Note from February 20, 2026 through April 17, 2026. As of April 20, 2026, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all loans under the Note is $24,500,626.

 

All loans made under the Note accrue interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to 12.0% (the “Fixed Rate”). The outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Note are due and payable upon demand. We have the right to prepay the Note, in whole or in part, at any time; provided, however, we must: (i) provide Excel prior written notice of our intention to make such prepayment; and (ii) pay to Excel all interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Note to the date of such prepayment.

 

If we: (i) fail to comply with any provision under the Note, including, but not limited to, failing to immediately pay all amounts due to Excel after demand thereof is made; or (ii) become subject to certain bankruptcy or insolvency events, at the option of Excel, the unpaid principal amount of the Note, accrued interest thereon, any fees or any other sums payable thereunder will thereafter until paid in full bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Fixed Rate plus 2.00%.

 

Excel may, at its sole option, upon written notice, convert all or any portion of the indebtedness incurred under the Note (“Debt”) into fully paid and non-assessable common stock shares (“Shares”) at a conversion price in an amount equal to the product of the Lowest Recent Price multiplied by 80%. The Lowest Recent Price is the lowest price per Share that we have sold one or more Shares to an investor or lender within the 12-month period prior to an applicable date of conversion; provided, however, that if no Shares were sold within such 12-month period, the Lowest Recent Price will be $0.50 per Share.

 

In case of a stock split, a stock combination, or a reverse stock split of the Shares, the number of Shares into which any Debt may be converted and the conversion price shall be proportionately adjusted in the manner determined by the Board acting in good faith. Furthermore, in connection with any reclassification, capital reorganization, or other change of outstanding Shares, or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another entity, Excel shall have the right thereafter, by converting the Debt, to receive upon such conversion the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization, or other change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of Shares that could have been received upon conversion of the Debt immediately prior to such reclassification, capital reorganization, or other change, consolidation or merger.

 

The full text of the Note is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein. You are urged to read said exhibit attached hereto in its entirety.

FAQ

What new debt did VIPZ’s VIP Play, Inc. report in this 8-K?

VIP Play disclosed that total principal outstanding under its note with Excel Family Partners rose to $24,500,626 as of April 20, 2026, after drawing an additional $1,214,313 in seven advances between February 20 and April 17, 2026.

What are the key terms of VIP Play (VIPZ) credit line with Excel Family Partners?

VIP Play’s note with Excel allows borrowing up to $14,000,000, carries a fixed 12.0% annual interest rate, and is payable on demand. The facility is discretionary, meaning Excel decides whether to fund loans, and repaid amounts cannot be reborrowed under the note.

Who controls Excel Family Partners, VIP Play’s lender in this 8-K filing?

Excel Family Partners is controlled by Bruce Cassidy, who serves as VIP Play’s Secretary and sole member of its board. This makes the credit arrangement a related-party transaction involving an insider with both governance and lending roles.

How can Excel convert VIP Play (VIPZ) debt into common stock?

Excel may convert any portion of the debt into common shares at a price equal to 80% of the “Lowest Recent Price.” If no shares were sold in the prior 12 months, the Lowest Recent Price is deemed $0.50 per share, subject to adjustment for corporate actions.

What happens to VIP Play’s interest rate if it defaults under the Excel note?

If VIP Play breaches note terms or experiences certain bankruptcy or insolvency events, Excel can elect to increase the interest rate. The debt would then bear interest at the 12.0% fixed rate plus 2.00% per year until all amounts are fully repaid.

Does VIP Play (VIPZ) have prepayment rights under the Excel credit note?

VIP Play may prepay the note in whole or part at any time, but must give Excel prior written notice and pay all accrued interest to the prepayment date. Once principal or interest is repaid, those amounts cannot be reborrowed under this discretionary note structure.
