Rhea-AI Filing Summary

VolitionRx Limited describes a waiver it obtained from Lind Global Asset Management after breaching a minimum market capitalization covenant tied to its senior secured convertible notes. The company has two notes with Lind, one with original principal of $7,500,000 issued on May 15, 2025 and another for $2,400,000 issued on January 7, 2026.

Because the covenant was not met, an additional amount equal to 10% of the Outstanding Principal Amount on each note became payable. Under the waiver, Lind agrees not to accelerate, demand immediate payment, or foreclose on collateral for this covenant breach, but it may require conversion of principal into common stock at the lower of the then-current Conversion Price or 90% of the average of the three lowest VWAPs over the prior 20 trading days, subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership cap.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • The failure to meet the Market Capitalization Covenant imposes an extra 10% of Outstanding Principal Amount on each note and allows discounted share conversions, increasing financing cost and potential dilution.

Insights

Covenant breach triggers extra cost and flexible, discounted conversions, but immediate default remedies are waived.

VolitionRx failed to maintain the required minimum market capitalization under its senior secured convertible notes with Lind. This triggered an additional payable equal to 10% of each note’s Outstanding Principal Amount, effectively increasing the economic cost of the financings.

The waiver removes near-term default pressure by preventing acceleration, demands for full payment, or foreclosure tied to this breach. However, Lind can demand conversion of principal into common stock at the lower of the contractual Conversion Price or 90% of the average of the three lowest VWAPs in the prior 20 trading days, subject to a 4.99% ownership cap. This structure may lead to equity issuance at a discount, with the scale and timing depending on Lind’s conversion decisions and future trading levels.

Market Capitalization Covenant financial
"the Company is required to comply with a covenant requiring the Company to maintain a minimum Market Capitalization for the applicable period"
Outstanding Principal Amount financial
"an additional amount payable under the Notes in an amount equal to 10% of the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Note"
VWAPs financial
"90% of the average of the three lowest VWAPs during the 20 Trading Days prior to the delivery"
Conversion Price financial
"converted into shares of the Company’s common stock ... at the lower of (i) the then-current Conversion Price under the applicable Note"
The conversion price is the fixed price at which a convertible security, like a bond or preferred stock, can be exchanged for shares of common stock. It acts like a set rate that determines how many shares an investor can receive if they choose to convert their investment. This helps investors understand the value and potential benefits of converting their securities into company shares.
senior secured convertible promissory note financial
"that certain senior secured convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $7,500,000"
A senior secured convertible promissory note is a formal IOU a company issues that is backed by specific assets (secured), given higher priority for repayment than other debts (senior), and can be exchanged for company shares instead of cash (convertible). For investors this means the loan is safer than unsecured debt because it has collateral and repayment priority, but it also carries the potential for dilution if the lender converts the note into equity — like holding a mortgage-backed IOU that can later be swapped for ownership stakes.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously reported, VolitionRx Limited (the “Company”) issued to Lind Global Asset Management XII LLC (“Lind”) (i) that certain senior secured convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $7,500,000 on May 15, 2025 (the “2025 Note”), pursuant to that certain securities purchase agreement, dated May 15, 2025, by and between the Company and Lind, and (ii) that certain senior secured convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $2,400,000 on January 7, 2026 (together with the 2025 Note, the “Notes”), pursuant to that certain amended and restated securities purchase agreement, dated January 7, 2026, by and between the Company and Lind (the “Purchase Agreement”). Except as otherwise set forth herein, all capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Notes.

 

Pursuant to each of the Notes, the Company is required to comply with a covenant requiring the Company to maintain a minimum Market Capitalization for the applicable period specified therein (the “Market Capitalization Covenant”). As a result of the Company’s failure to comply with the Market Capitalization Covenant, on May 21, 2026, the Company and Lind entered into a waiver and consent (the “Waiver”) pursuant to which Lind waived certain rights and remedies under the Notes and the other Transaction Documents arising from the Company’s failure to comply with the Market Capitalization Covenant, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Waiver. Accordingly, Lind has waived and is no longer entitled to exercise any rights or remedies arising from the Company’s failure to comply with the Market Capitalization Covenant now or in the future, except those rights and remedies set forth in the Notes which are expressly preserved in the Waiver. In particular, Lind waived its rights under the Notes to declare any amounts due and payable, demand immediate payment in full, accelerate obligations or foreclose upon any collateral as a result of the failure to comply with the Market Capitalization Covenant now or in the future.

 

The Company’s failure to comply with the Market Capitalization Covenant resulted in the imposition of an additional amount payable under the Notes in an amount equal to 10% of the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Note as provided by the terms of the Notes. Pursuant to the Waiver and in accordance with the terms of the Notes, Lind may demand that all or a portion of the Outstanding Principal Amount of either Note be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at the lower of (i) the then-current Conversion Price under the applicable Note, and (ii) 90% of the average of the three lowest VWAPs during the 20 Trading Days prior to the delivery by Lind of the applicable notice of conversion; provided that such conversion does not result in beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock.

 

The foregoing description of the Waiver does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before August 14, 2026.
