Zapata Computing SEC Filings

Zapata Computing Holdings, Inc. (ZPTA) filed an 8-K announcing a multi-part balance-sheet restructuring designed to inject new cash, reduce secured debt and convert a large portion of trade liabilities into equity.

1. New capital raise: On 12 Jun 2025 the company issued $2.65 million of 10% secured convertible promissory notes (maturity: one year) and five-year warrants. The notes are convertible into 66.25 million common shares at $0.04 per share and automatically convert if Zapata completes an equity deal raising ≥ $5 million. Investors also received warrants for 33.125 million shares at the same $0.04 exercise price. The purchase agreement allows the company to sell up to $3 million of notes and warrants in total.

2. Debt repayment & intercreditor arrangements: Approximately $1.343 million of the proceeds was used to repay a February 2024 senior note that carried a 15% coupon and was due December 2026; that obligation is now satisfied. The new notes and all company assets are pledged under a fresh Security Agreement, and priority among lenders is governed by a new Intercreditor Agreement.

3. Waiver from existing secured lender: A Consent Agreement with one of the existing secured lenders waived any default under its $1 million senior secured note in return for 34 million new common shares.

4. Conversion of payables: Between 12–18 Jun 2025 the company entered into Conversion Agreements converting $10.1 million of accounts payable and other liabilities into 27.33 million shares. Management’s restructuring plan contemplates converting up to ~$17 million of additional liabilities into equity or convertible preferred, implying another potential 18.67 million shares (or preferred stock) still to come.

5. Lock-up & registration terms: All equity recipients entered into Universal Resale & Registration Provisions that lock up the shares for 12 months after the first resale registration becomes effective. Only 10% of each holder’s position can be sold in the first 90 days post-effectiveness and 25% in each subsequent 90-day period, with an overall 10% daily volume cap.

6. Dilution implications: If all instruments issued to date were converted or exercised, the transaction would add roughly 160 million shares (66.25 m note conversion + 33.125 m warrants + 34 m waiver shares + 27.33 m converted payables) to the float, before any additional shares tied to the remaining $6.9 million targeted in the payable-conversion program.

Net take-away: Zapata improves near-term liquidity, eliminates a high-interest secured note, and converts substantial trade debt. However, the structure introduces a 10% secured note due in one year and creates the possibility of material equity dilution that could pressure future share price performance once lock-ups expire.
