Kinetic Seas Secures $135K in Highly Dilutive Convertible Note Financing

summarizeSummary

Kinetic Seas Inc. has secured $135,000 in gross proceeds through an unsecured promissory note with LABRYS FUND II, L.P. While providing immediate capital, the terms are highly unfavorable and pose significant dilution risk to existing shareholders. The note carries an original issue discount, a one-time 8% interest charge, and is convertible into common stock at a floating price of 85% of the lowest closing bid during the 10 days prior to conversion. This type of financing, often referred to as 'death spiral' financing, can lead to substantial dilution as the conversion price drops with the stock price, creating a downward pressure. The company also faces significant penalties upon default, including a 150% payment on outstanding amounts. This transaction highlights the company's need for capital but at a very high cost to equity holders.
