On January 5, 2023, the Company completed its asset acquisition of the Recoup Digester Assets and as part of the consideration, assumed the liabilities of a $3,017,090 Secured Promissory Note owed to Michaelson Capital Special Finance Fund II, L.P. (“Michaelson”). The Company and Michaelson agreed to amend and restate the Secured Promissory Note, as well as sign a related Forbearance Agreement (together known as the “Michaelson Note”). The Michaelson Note originally had a 12% per annum interest rate.

The Michaelson Note also includes a provision granting Michaelson a security interest and lien on all of the Company’s assets as collateral.

 

In October 2023, the Company and Michaelson agreed to forbear the principal payments owed to Michaelson during the three months ended September 30, 2023 until October 30, 2023. On December 28, 2023 the Company and Michaelson signed a Forbearance Agreement (the “December Michaelson Amendment”) that was accounted for as a debt modification in accordance with ASC 470 – Debt.

 

The December Michaelson Amendment established a period ending on March 31, 2024 during which Michaelson agreed to forbear from exercising its rights against the Company with respect to a default. Additionally, it set the following repayment terms: (1) on or before December 31, 2023, the Company was to make a $125,000 principal payment, (2) on or before January 31, 2024, the Company was to make a principal payment of $50,000, (3) on or before March 31, 2023, the Company was to repay its remaining principal obligations to Michaelson, (4) beginning on January 2024, the Company was to make three monthly interest payments of $22,571, and (5) following the payment of its other obligations owed to Michaelson, the Company was to issue to Michaelson $50,000 worth of preferred stock at the current offering terms and conditions.

 

In April 2024, the Company and Michaelson agreed to extend the term of the Michaelson Note until June 30, 2024, and forbear all other terms until May 1, 2024. In exchange for such extension and forbearance, the Company agreed to: (1) pay $600,000 to Michaelson upon the closing of the acquisition of Standard Waste Services, LLC, of which $500,000 will be repayment of principal and $100,000 will be a fee for the forbearance (payable $50,000 in cash and $50,000 in Series B Preferred Stock), (2) any new debt incurred by the Company shall be subordinated to the Michaelson Note, and (3) Michaelson is to receive 25% of the net proceeds on any capital raised greater than $6.0 million. As of June 30, 2024 the outstanding principal balance is $2,107,090. During the six months ending June 30, 2024 the Company issued 5,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and recorded interest expense of $65,357 in relation to this note.

 

On July 31, 2024, the Company and Michaelson agreed to a Forbearance Agreement that amended the Michaelson Note Payable (the “July Michaelson Amendment”). As a result, the interest rate of the Michaelson Note was increased to 16% per annum beginning on July 1, 2024. Additionally, the principal payment schedule of the Michaelson Note was amended to as follows: a payment of $750,000 is due on or by August 30, 2024, a payment of $457,089 is due on or by September 30, 2024, and a payment of the remaining outstanding principal is due on or by November 30, 2024. The Company also agreed to pay a forbearance fee of $10,000 to Michaelson.
