Insights

Velo3D expands equity-conversion options on $15M insider-linked debt.

Velo3D revised two senior secured convertible notes originally issued to entities controlled by director Kenneth Thieneman, totaling $15,000,000. Earlier changes had already pushed maturity to February 14, 2027, cut interest to 12%, and set conversion prices of $16.38 and $10.50 per share.

The March 2026 amendments now permit conversion of not only principal but also accrued and unpaid interest into common stock at each holder’s option. One note was transferred to Arrayed Notes Acquisition Corp., controlled by Chief Executive Officer Arun Jeldi, highlighting related-party involvement and potential future dilution depending on how much is ultimately converted.

Actual effects on Velo3D’s balance sheet and ownership mix will depend on future conversion decisions by these holders. Subsequent company disclosures may detail any conversions or resulting changes in share count.

FAQ

What debt instruments did Velo3D (VELO) amend in March 2026?

Velo3D amended two senior secured convertible promissory notes originally issued in January and February 2025 with principal amounts of $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. Both instruments are secured, carry 12% annual interest after prior amendments, and are convertible into Velo3D common stock at set prices.

How did the March 2026 amendments change Velo3D’s January 2025 note?

The January 2025 note now allows its holder to convert any portion of the outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest into Velo3D common stock. Earlier changes had already extended maturity to February 14, 2027, reduced the interest rate to 12%, and set a conversion price of $16.38 per share.

What changes were made to Velo3D’s February 2025 convertible note?

The February 2025 note was amended so that, subject to existing terms, accrued and unpaid interest may be converted into common stock at the holder’s option in addition to the outstanding principal. Prior amendments extended tranche maturities to February 14, 2027 and reduced interest to 12% per annum.

Which related parties are involved in Velo3D’s amended notes?

The notes involve entities controlled by board member Kenneth Thieneman and Chief Executive Officer Arun Jeldi. The January 2025 note was first issued to Thieneman Properties, LLC, then transferred to Arrayed Notes Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation controlled by Arun Jeldi, before the March 2026 amendment.

What are the conversion prices on Velo3D’s amended convertible notes?

After the August 2025 amendments, the $5,000,000 January 2025 note carries a conversion price of $16.38 per share, while the $10,000,000 February 2025 note has a conversion price of $10.50 per share. These prices apply when holders elect to convert amounts into Velo3D common stock.

Do the amended Velo3D notes remain in effect after the March 2026 changes?

Yes. For both the January 2025 and February 2025 notes, the company states that, except as modified by the March 4, 2026 amendments, each note as previously amended remains in full force and effect in accordance with its existing terms and conditions.
