Waiver Warrants Issued to Lenders
Dune Equity Holdings received pre-funded warrants for 62,000 shares and FirstFire for 37,500 shares at a $0.0001 exercise price, in exchange for waiving prepayment provisions on existing notes. Against 1,254,947 shares outstanding, full exercise would add about 8% to the share count.
-
$225,000 Buyout Penalty If No Approval
If stockholder approval for the warrant shares under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) is not obtained within 90 days, Dune can require a $150,000 cash buyout and FirstFire $75,000. A true-up payment also applies if the 5-day average closing price before approval is below $2.50.

$250,000 Notes Due at $300,000
Unsecured notes of $150,000 and $100,000 principal carry repayment amounts of $183,335 and $116,665 on December 1, 2026 — roughly 20% cost for under two months, with 16% default interest.

Analysis · CHGA · Technology
Change Agents is paying lenders in deeply discounted equity and short-dated debt to keep its financing arrangements alive. Dune and FirstFire waived prepayment rights on existing notes and received 99,500 pre-funded warrants at a nominal $0.0001 strike — against only 1,254,947 shares outstanding, that is roughly 8% of the current share count if exercised, and the company must win stockholder approval within 90 days or pay $225,000 in cash buyout fees it can ill afford. The new $250,000 in unsecured notes cost $300,000 at maturity on December 1, 2026 — an effective cost of about 20% for under two months of money — which shows how expensive capital has become for this company. The CSO personally advancing $7,500 to make a loan payment underscores how tight liquidity is.
