On December 20, 2022, the Company, and our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Brian Ferdinand (“Ferdinand”), entered into a Note Extension and Conversion Agreement with Greenle Partners LLC Series Alpha PS (“Greenle Alpha”) and Greenle Partners LLC Series Beta P.S., a Delaware limited liability company (“Greenle Beta” and, together with Greenle Alpha, “Greenle”). Greenle was the purchaser of 15% OID senior secured notes (the “Notes”) and warrants to purchase our common stock (“Warrants”) under certain securities purchase agreements and loan agreements between us and Greenle, including the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of March 31, 2023, as amended by the letter agreement dated October 20, 2022, and the Loan Agreement dated as of November 23, 2022.
Under the terms of the Note Extension and Conversion Agreement, Greenle agreed to convert from time to time up to $3,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes into up to shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at the conversion price of $3.00 per share prescribed by the Notes. Additionally, Greenle agreed that the payment date of certain of the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,250,000, maturing on January 30, 2023, would be extended to March 1, 2023. On the date of any such conversion, the Company would be obligated to issue to Greenle a number of credits under our existing revenue share agreements with them equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the principal amount of the Notes so converted. As of December 31, 2022, $300,000 of this note was converted and the entire $3,000,000 was converted in January of 2023. As part of this conversion, Mr. Ferdinand contributed to the Company shares of common stock owned by him and his affiliates, which in turn, were used by the Company to fund the issuance of the Conversion Shares to Greenle in exchange for the conversion of the debt under the notes, which was maturing within a few months of this contribution. At the time of such contribution by Mr. Ferdinand, the market value of the shares of common stock so contributed was approximated $1.5 million. On November 17, 2023, the Company entered into a financing agreement with THA Holdings LLC (the “Lender”), an entity controlled and operated by Mr. Ferdinand, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the Lender an unsecured, advancing term promissory note (the “Note”). Under the Note, the Company is able to borrow, and the Lender has committed to lend to the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 (the “Initial Principal Amount”) to be funded in increments of $1,000,000 upon the Company’s request by the sale, from time to time, of shares of the Company’s common stock, owned by the Lender. On December 3, 2023, the Company and Mr. Ferdinand mutually agreed to cancel the Note. The amount of proceeds, less taxes, resulting from sales of common stock prior to the cancelation in the amount of $311,234 was contributed to the Company by Mr. Ferdinand. This was recorded as a contribution by founder in the accompanying consolidated statement of changes in equity.
In December of 2023 and during the three months ended March 31, 2024, we paid $1,350,000 and $351,000, respectively to Ferdinand under the terms of the Guarantee Trust agreement as part of his personal guarantees on the Wyndham agreements and the Development Incentive Advances. At December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, $1,023,750 and $672,750 of this payment was classified as prepaid. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $351,000 was expensed.
