ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 22, 2024 / Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American:UMAC) ("Unusual Machines" or the "Company"), an American drone and drone components manufacturer, on August 21, 2024 entered into two exchange agreements (each, an "Exchange Agreement") with existing promissory note holders. These agreements will cancel an aggregate of $1.0 million of the Company's existing $4.0 million indebtedness. In exchange, Unusual Machines issued (i) two new convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3.0 million (the "New Notes"), (ii) Series C preferred stock convertible into shares of our common stock at $1.59 per share, the share price at close of market as of August 20, 2024, and (iii) five-year warrants exercisable at $1.99 per share (subject to certain adjustments).
In addition, the New Notes contain an optional conversion feature into Series C preferred stock at $1.99 per share (125% of the closing bid price on August 20, 2024) and a reduction in interest rate from 8% to 4%.
The Notes and Series C preferred stock contain beneficial ownership limitations preventing the Note holders from owning in excess of 4.99%, 9.99% of outstanding shares of common stock and, subject to shareholder approval, 19.99% of all current outstanding common stock. The holders also received certain registration rights.
"We are excited to close on this deal which strengthens the Company's balance sheet at current and above market rates while maintaining shareholder value for all investors. We have reduced the principal balance on the notes and secured a lower interest rate. We will continue to focus on cash flow and long-term positioning as we embark on our next stage of growth," said Brian Hoff, CFO of Unusual Machines.
