New Credit Facility
Oxus Capital provided a new credit facility of up to $17 million to the company's subsidiaries for working capital, as part of a broader financing arrangement previously disclosed in 8-K filings on April 28 and May 1, 2026.

Conditional Debt-to-Equity Conversion
An existing $11.1 million indebtedness owed to Oxus Capital will automatically convert into common shares if the company fails to raise $70 million in equity at $9.00 per share by July 1, 2026.
-
High Dilution Potential
The conversion price for the $11.1 million debt will be a floating volume-weighted average price, and the high threshold for the equity raise makes the automatic conversion and subsequent significant dilution highly probable for existing shareholders.

Major Shareholder Stake
Oxus Capital and Kenges Rakishev currently hold a 39.09% beneficial ownership stake, including common shares and warrants.
Analysis · BRLS · Manufacturing
This filing from major shareholder Oxus Capital details the terms of a recent financing arrangement. It reveals that $11.1 million of existing debt will automatically convert into common shares if Borealis Foods fails to raise $70 million in equity at $9.00 per share by July 1, 2026. Given the company's current stock price of $1.45 and ongoing financial challenges, meeting this equity raise condition is highly improbable. This makes the automatic debt conversion and subsequent significant dilution for existing shareholders a near certainty, further impacting the company's share structure and value.
