Amendment to Convertible Note Facility
The company amended its December 10, 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement for a convertible note facility, which originally allowed for up to $80.0 million in notes.
-
Issuance of Third Convertible Note
On June 5, 2026, ROBO.AI INC. issued a Third Note with a principal amount of $2.0 million, receiving gross proceeds of $1.84 million (an 8% discount). This note is convertible into Class B ordinary shares at a conversion price of $3.20 per share.
-
Planned Issuance of Fourth Convertible Note
The amendment also outlines the future issuance of a Fourth Note with a principal amount of $11.0 million, contingent on the effectiveness of a resale registration statement and Nasdaq listing compliance. This follows the company regaining Nasdaq compliance on May 29, 2026.

Significant Potential Dilution
The total potential principal from the Third and Fourth Notes is $13.0 million. If converted at the current conversion price of $3.20 (with a 110% factor), this could result in approximately 4.47 million new shares. This comes alongside a concurrently filed F-1 registration statement for the resale of 35 million Class B shares from convertible notes, indicating substantial potential dilution for existing shareholders.
Analysis · AIIO · Manufacturing
ROBO.AI INC. has amended its convertible note facility, issuing a $2.0 million note at an 8% discount and outlining plans for an additional $11.0 million note. This capital raise, while providing necessary funding, introduces substantial potential dilution for existing shareholders. The concurrent filing of an F-1 registration statement for the resale of 35 million Class B shares from convertible notes further highlights the significant equity overhang this financing structure creates, which is a major concern given the company's current market capitalization.
At the time of this filing, AIIO was trading at $2.73 on NASDAQ in the Manufacturing sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $53.3M. The 52-week trading range was $0.54 to $56.30. This filing was assessed with negative market sentiment and an importance score of 9 out of 10.
