This 8-K filing reveals MacKenzie Realty Capital has entered into a highly aggressive debt financing agreement. While the company received $1 million in net cash, the $1.095 million secured promissory note includes a substantial original issue discount and transaction expenses, effectively increasing the cost of capital. The terms are exceptionally punitive, featuring a monitoring fee, high prepayment penalties, and numerous "Trigger Events" that can rapidly escalate the outstanding balance and lead to a 22% default interest rate. The note is secured by all assets of its qualified REIT subsidiary, MRC QRS, Inc., and a pledge of its common stock, indicating the company's limited options for financing. The stated use of proceeds for a speculative investment in CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc. shares, while potentially profitable, adds a layer of risk given the high cost and stringent conditions of this new debt, especially in light of the company's recent financial struggles (net loss, negative cash flow). Investors should be aware of the significant financial risk posed by these terms.
