Secured Convertible Note Issued
FingerMotion entered into a securities purchase agreement for a $5.0 million senior secured convertible note. The company received $3.3 million at closing, with an additional $1.0 million to be released upon SEC effectiveness of a resale registration statement, totaling $4.3 million in cash. The note includes a $700,000 original issue discount.
-
Highly Dilutive Conversion Terms
The note is convertible at an initial fixed price of $0.94 per share, or a variable 'Redemption Conversion Price' (lower of fixed price or 90% of 7-day VWAP, subject to a $0.81 floor). This structure is highly dilutive, especially given the current stock price of $1.10.
-
Aggressive Investor Protections
The note is senior secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the company's personal property assets. It also includes a 'Subsequent Placement Redemption Right' allowing the investor to claim up to 30% of future capital raise proceeds (including ATM sales) at a premium.

Critical Lifeline Amid Distress
This financing provides crucial capital for FingerMotion, which previously reported a 'going concern' warning and critically low cash reserves, but comes with very unfavorable terms reflecting the company's distressed financial position.
auto_awesomeAnalysis
FingerMotion, facing a 'going concern' warning and critically low cash, has secured $4.3 million in financing through a senior secured convertible note. While this provides a crucial lifeline, the terms are highly unfavorable and indicative of severe financial distress. The note includes a significant original issue discount, a variable conversion price that can go as low as $0.81 (a discount to the current market price), and grants the investor a first-priority security interest in substantially all company assets. Furthermore, the investor has a right to claim up to 30% of future capital raises, which could severely limit the company's ability to raise non-dilutive capital in the future and creates a significant overhang for existing shareholders.
