Polar Power Secures $971K in Dilutive Notes, Hires Restructuring Advisor, Resolves Eviction Threat
summarizeSummary
Polar Power raised $970,600 through two highly dilutive 6% convertible notes and hired a restructuring advisor, Mammoth Crest Capital, granting them a 4.5% equity stake. Critically, the company paid $755,000 to resolve its immediate headquarters eviction threat, though it must vacate its warehouse by August 31, 2026. The recently secured $2.5 million Stone Brothers revolving loan was terminated.
This follows the May 20th 10-Q which disclosed immediate eviction from its headquarters and a Nasdaq delisting threat. The new financing and settlement directly address the eviction crisis. The $971K financing is highly dilutive, especially with the intent to exceed the 19.99% issuance cap, and most of it was immediately consumed by the $755K facilities settlement. Hiring a restructuring advisor with an equity grant confirms the company's severe financial distress and formal efforts to avoid collapse. Shareholder approval for exceeding the 19.99% issuance cap will be critical, and the company must vacate its warehouse by August 31, 2026.
