Analysis · AIFC · Crypto Assets
AI Financial Corp sold its indirect subsidiary ALT 5 Sigma Canada to Prime Delta Corp for a $12 million secured promissory note and 11.55 million restricted shares of Prime. The deal provides immediate liquidity with $1 million due in days, but the bulk of the note is back-end loaded and tied to Prime's future equity raises — introducing significant collection risk. Against a backdrop of a going-concern warning, a $271.5 million Q1 loss, and a Nasdaq delisting notice, this asset sale is a critical liquidity event that could help stabilize the company if the note performs.
