Analysis · REKR · Manufacturing
Rekor's board has authorized a Delaware Chancery lawsuit against former director Viraj Mehta, alleging he steered the company into a December 2025 financing with Anson while hiding that his own fund, Arctis, planned to dump its entire ~9% stake and keep its $5M secured note. The complaint lays out concrete costs the company says it was stuck with: 8,571,428 seven-year warrants at $2.40, a side letter that blocks variable-rate financings and ATM sales below $1.75, and a 30% participation right for Anson through 2027. That matters now because Rekor faces a $15M Revenue Note maturity on December 15, 2026 it has said it cannot meet without refinancing or new capital, and its stock at $0.33 is far below the $1.75 ATM floor. A recovery is speculative and years away, but the filing also confirms a Nasdaq bid-price deficiency notice with the initial compliance period ending October 26, 2026, one week from today.
