Secured SPA Notes
Overview and Terms
The Secured SPA Notes were issued under the Secured SPA Agreement dated August 14, 2022, with FF Simplicity Ventures LLC (“FFSV”) acting as administrative agent, collateral agent, and purchaser, along with additional purchasers. These senior secured convertible notes are supported by a second lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and are guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.
The Secured SPA Notes bear an annual interest rate of 10%, increasing to 15% if interest is paid in shares of Class A Common Stock. Principal and interest are due at maturity, unless converted earlier pursuant to the Secured SPA Notes’ conversion privileges. Issued at a 10% original issue discount, these notes are convertible into Class A Common Stock at the lesser of a fixed conversion price or 90% of the VWAP for the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date. The Secured SPA Notes are subject to full ratchet anti-dilution price protection and as of March 31, 2025 the fixed price conversion price was $1.16. The Secured SPA Notes mature six-years from each date of issuance. The outstanding Secured SPA Notes, as of March 31, 2025, are scheduled to mature in November 2031.
In connection with the issuance of the Secured SPA Notes, the Company also granted to each purchaser a warrant (the “Secured SPA Warrants”) to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock equal to 33% of the shares issuable upon conversion of the aggregate principal amount under the Secured SPA Notes funded. The Secured SPA Warrants are subject to the same full ratchet anti-dilution price protection as the Secured SPA Notes. The Secured SPA Warrants are indexed to the Company’s Class A Common Stock and, as such, meet the scope exception in ASC 815-40 to be classified within equity.
The Company elected the fair value option afforded by ASC 825, Financial Instruments, with respect to the Secured SPA Notes because the notes include features, such as a contingently exercisable put option, that meet the definition of an embedded derivative. The Company expenses transaction costs to Change in fair value of notes payable, warrant liabilities, and derivative call options in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company also elected to apply the fair value option for all other SPA Portfolio Notes.
Amendments and Modifications
The Secured SPA Notes have undergone several amendments:
Unanimous Written Consents: During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) exercised its authority via a series of written consents (the “Unanimous Written Consents”) to adjust the principal conversion price of the Secured SPA Notes as it considered desirable. The Board chose to reduce the principal conversion price from $29.33 to 105% of the listed market price of the Company’s Common Stock at the close of the trading day on which a conversion notice is delivered. The adjustments to the principal conversion price were temporary in nature and contractually concluded on June 30, 2024. The actions of the Board in the Unanimous Written Consents did not trigger any full ratchet anti-dilution price protection in the Company’s debt and equity securities.
Eleventh and Twelfth Amendments (July 11, 2024): Permitted entry into the Collateralized Loan by subordinating liens securing the Secured SPA Notes to liens under the Collateralized Loan (See Note 9, Other Financing Liabilities, Section Collateralized Loan below).
The Waiver Agreement (August 2, 2024): Revised key financial terms of the Secured SPA Notes and 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes, including elimination of the Make-Whole Amount. The Make-Whole Amount was a provision that entitled noteholders to compensation for the interest they would have received had the notes been held to maturity. Additionally, pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, the holders agreed that accrued interest shall be due at maturity or conversion. Further, the conversion price was reduced to the lesser of (1) the conversion price then in effect, $29.33, subject to full ratchet anti-dilution price protection (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions occurring thereafter) or (2) 90% of the VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock as of the trading day ended immediately prior to the time the conversion notice is delivered to the
Company. The provisions of the Waiver Agreement will apply to all Secured SPA Notes and 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes currently issued or issuable in the future pursuant to the Secured SPA Agreement and 2023 Unsecured SPA Agreement.
Anti-Dilution Adjustments
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into dilutive stock sale and purchase transactions, that triggered the full ratchet anti-dilution price protections embedded in the Secured SPA Notes and Secured SPA Warrants. As a result, the fixed-price conversion price of the Secured SPA Notes and exercise price of the Secured SPA Warrants outstanding prior to such financings was reduced to a price equal to the price per share paid in the dilutive financings.

On September 5, 2024, the Company entered into the Junior Secured SPA Agreement, which triggered the full ratchet anti-dilution price protection in the Secured SPA Notes and Secured SPA Warrants. The issuance of the Junior Secured SPA Notes constituted a dilutive issuance, as the stated conversion price of $5.24 was less than the Secured SPA Notes and Secured SPA Warrant exercise price.

On December 21, 2024, the Company entered into the 2024 Unsecured SPA Notes, which triggered the full ratchet anti-dilution price protection in the Secured SPA Notes and Secured SPA Warrant. The issuance of the 2024 Unsecured SPA Notes constituted a dilutive issuance, as the stated conversion price of $1.16 was less than the Secured SPA Notes conversion price and Secured SPA Warrant exercise price.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 there have not been any dilutive stock sale and purchase transactions.

Overview and Terms
On March 21, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “2025 March Unsecured SPA”) with certain accredited investors, including MHL a related party, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell up to $41.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “2025 March Unsecured SPA Notes”). The 2025 March Unsecured SPA permits up to four closings, each subject to specified closing conditions including minimum trading price and volume thresholds. Additional closings may occur in future periods, subject to investor election and satisfaction of the conditions in the 2025 March Unsecured SPA Notes. The activity below does not include related parties activity, discussed separately in Note 8, Related Party Transactions.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company received proceeds in the amount of $2.3 million in advance of the first closing, which occurred on April 4, 2025. These proceeds are reported as outstanding notes as of March 31, 2025.
The 2025 March Unsecured SPA Notes mature five years from the date of issuance and bear interest at a fixed rate of 10% per annum. Interest is payable on each conversion date or at maturity and may be settled in cash, shares of Class A common stock, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election and subject to certain conditions. In the event of a default, the interest rate increases to 18% per annum. The Company may redeem the notes at a premium of 10% over the greater of (i) the value of the shares otherwise issuable upon conversion and (ii) the value of the note’s outstanding principal. In a bankruptcy-related default, the notes are redeemable at a 25% premium, unless waived by the holder.
The 2025 March Unsecured SPA Notes are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at an initial fixed conversion price of $1.29 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The number of shares issuable upon conversion is determined by dividing the outstanding principal and accrued interest, together with an 8% premium, by the conversion price. The notes also include an alternate conversion feature that permits the holder to convert at the lower of (i) the then-effective conversion price or (ii) the greater of $1.048 per share (the “floor price”) and the lowest volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Class A common stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion notice. If a conversion under the alternate mechanism would result in issuance below the floor price, the Company must either settle the difference in cash or increase the principal balance of the note by the shortfall amount. 2025 March Unsecured SPA Notes are subject to full ratchet anti-dilution price protection.
The “2025 March Unsecured SPA Investors were issued warrants (the “2025 March Unsecured SPA Warrants”) equal to 100% of the shares issuable upon conversion of the aggregate principal amount under the 2025 March Unsecured SPA Notes funded. The 2025 March Unsecured SPA Warrants are exercisable immediately with a term of five years. 2025 March Unsecured SPA Warrants are subject to the same full ratchet anti-dilution price protection as the 2025 March Unsecured SPA Notes. The Company’s 2025 March Unsecured SPA Warrants meet the requirements for liability classification pursuant to ASC 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The 2025 March Unsecured SPA Warrants could require cash settlement upon events that are considered outside of the control of the Company in a manner that is not consistent with the holders of the Company’s Common Stock.
The 2025 March Unsecured SPA Investors were issued incremental warrants (the “2025 March Unsecured SPA Incremental Warrants”)to purchase additional 2025 March Unsecured SPA Notes up to the amounts funded under their 2025 March Unsecured SPA commitments. The 2025 March Unsecured SPA Incremental Warrants, presented in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Derivative call options, are exercisable immediately upon issuance and have a one-year term. They allow the purchase of the respective notes at an exercise price equal to the principal amount of the notes issued to the investor, subject to full ratchet anti-dilution price protection, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations, or similar transactions.
