NOTE 11 – PROMISSORY NOTES
Promissory Note Retirements
In March 2021, utilizing a portion of the proceeds from the Hadron transaction discussed in Note 13 – Mezzanine Equity, the Company retired approximately $15.2 million of principal and interest on promissory notes issued in previous fiscal years to accredited individual and institutional investors. Additionally, a remaining debt discount of approximately $450,000 on one of the retired promissory notes (such discount having arisen from the issuance of warrants attached to such promissory note) was fully amortized in this month.
Promissory Note Conversions
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the noteholder of an $8.8 million promissory note issued by the Company in June 2020 converted approximately $1.0 million of principal and $10,000 of accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock. After such conversion and cash payments of $4.6 million in the second half of fiscal 2020, this $8.8 million promissory note was amended and restated into a new $3.2 million promissory note.
During 2021, in a series of transactions, the noteholder converted $2.8 million of principal into shares of the Company’s common stock. At December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance on this note was $400,000.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the noteholder converted the remaining principal balance of $400,000 into shares of the Company’s common stock. Upon this conversion, the $3.3 million note no longer had an outstanding balance and was retired. All of the aforementioned note conversions were effected within the terms of their respective note agreements, and the Company was not required to record a gain or loss on such conversions.
